Ran into some visiting Aussie chicks in DC this weekend at a bar. We were talking about whatever and after they made fun of my 'piss water' Miller Lite they mentioned that Melbourne has basically zero black people. "I must admit i get nervous when i see 2 or 3 walking my way in DC, because they probably have guns, you know."

Lol, i never really stopped to think about how white Australia is. When i told the story to a few friends, they mentioned that Australia is probably the most racist country in the world, mostly toward Aborigines and the Chinese.

They also couldnt grasp how DC was not a state, why each state has its own capital, and the whole fraternity system in college. :)

What do you expect from a bunch of criminal descendants, excellent critical thinking? :-)

Australians also don't have a high opinion of Americans in general.

Ha! It's gonna be fun when he enters this thread :-)

Seek - the vast majority of the world don't have a high opinion of Americans in general. It's a bit of a misnomer though as most American people I've met have been quite nice, hospitable, and helpful. It's the stupid image and politics - in particular their imperialistic foreign policies - they have that ruins their image.

The girls were totally fun, ended up liking Miller Lite once they switched over, and were telling me how they went to a Hooters. It was a crazy night.

I have generally had the opposite impression of Australians, I find they are not racist at all. I can't speak for Andrew though.

I think the more important question is whether or not any of these Aussie chicks were hot or not. Really.

Of course not. All Australian women look like Steve Irwin. It's a known fact.
