The video is not Australian.
The conversation is not about Australia specifically.
Anyone would think the whites are subject to everyday racism when we all know that's not the case.
quite a few people from other cultural backgrounds come into this country and disrespect our culture
Did the whites respect the abriginal cultures that existed when they arrived?
I don't think the dominant white anglo people are the ones that need defending. The reality is that they do not have to deal with the everyday racism that some others are confronted by.

I am not sure where you live but I have never been subjected to racism in any form.
I have seen it directed at those of other than my 5th generation Australian background/race though. (Asian, Muslim and Indigenous.)
