Mr.Caldeira is obviously in some sort of Utopia if he says that there is no racism in Australia.Racism is alive and thriving in Australia and raising a strawman bogey of attacking Hinduism and the Caste system is just diversionary . India and Hinduism has it's flaws but to assert that there is no racism in Australia is astounding! Can Mr Caldeira explain "The Stolen Generation" and Australia's ongoing treatment of the Aborigines? And by condemning Hindus and Hinduism Ad Hominem-Mr Caldeira has betrayed his own prejudices-Very Sad.
The link below is self explanatory- http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Racism_in_Australia Australia has a long history of racism dating back to the founding of the first colony in Sydney Cove. The establishment of the British colony in 1788 was justified by a racist ideology later expressed by the 'Terra Nullius' concept, in which the colonists believed they had first rights to the land over other groups. Racism is closely tied to nationalism, and the use of immigrants as scapegoats during lean economic times.
