You went to Melbourne right? Sydney is Australia's unofficial immigrant haven, that's where all the racial tension and violence happens.

Well there's a lot of Asians in all the major cities, and even in the minor cities. But Sydney is full of people from every race. Which isn't usually a problem, except when they cause @#$%.

I'd be careful with that phrasing; it's implying that only the racial minorities cause tension and violence, which I'm sure is far from the truth or how you intended it to come across. :)

It is... Generally Sydney is a peaceful place to be. I've said before, I try not to be racist, although there is no denying there is some degree of racial tension around my neck of the woods.

I believe
this
is a good summary of the different demographics in Sydney.
I know that there's a bit more racial tension outside the major Sydney area, but within the metropolitan region, as an Asian Aussie myself, I don't really encounter it - there's enough Asians around (estimated to be about 20% or so in the metro region) for the rest of the peeps to be used to us. Most of the racial tension is around the Middle Eastern guys, to be honest.
As for Melbourne, most of the immigrants there are the Euro groups. Greek central.

Welp, I almost just shat myself.....stupid f-ing power outages around here apparently mess up my IP and tell Blizzard I got hacked, so had to jump through hoops to change the password.

No, what I'm saying is that some extreme right wingers and white Australians are also presumably causing that tension and sparking violence. Which isn't what your first quote looked like it was indicating. Just saying to be more careful with wording, due to unfortunate implications.

Yeah, the issue is mostly with Muslims to be honest. And Jews to a slight extent. Everyone accepts Asians, mainly because they
generally
aren't involved in any
high-profile
crime or violence issues.
I lol'd hard at the Shire version. I should draw a Central Coast version up.

Certainly, certainly and certainly. I've been drinking and really shouldn't be talking about things like this.

I haven't really seen anything going on with the Jews, but that could be because they're such a small demographic relative to the others, and they tend to keep more to themselves.
I'd imagine the Central Coast version would be pretty similar :)

To be honest, it's something like this
Which is ironic, considering every shire in NSW has a brothel. But we pretty much just think of Surry Hills and the Cross.

I gathered that; but it's just people lying down from what I can see. >.> Looks like so much fun, maybe I should hop on the bandwagon and be cool too!
