Not true dude.
This is the problem with generalising. I have come across a few slangs and taunts from people about color of skin etc, but no its not widespread.
Well I have spent all my life in India and there have been few incidents where I was offended by someones speech regarding my religion etc. That does not make all Indians Rascist does it?
At times people tend to confuse the care too hoots attitude of Aussies as racist. No its not true. Banter is a way of life here. You have to live here to enjoy that, no one is offended and if an Aussie senses that you are being offended he will go out of his way to make it with you.
It is gross to label a nation Racist due to a few bad experiences, which may be due to our lack of knowledge of the region. What more a scribe while intervewing the PM can get away by saying "Ah Cmon "X" dont be a Jerk"
Tu jo sachchi hai larazti kyun hai aye zaban bol de darti kyun hai
qalb men khowfe khuda hai tere phir zuban sach se jhijhakti kyun hai
