I definitely am, I am Australian, and with a lot of what's been showing in the media lately we come across as a bunch of racist bigots who've are behind in accepting other cultures and races. And you know what? I feel that image is somewhat justified. I am as accepting of race/religion/sexuality as you can get, but the amount of people I I know who couldn't be further from the opposite makes me sick. Even in my own family. I think there are 2 images of Australians, one being the outgoing, Aussie image, and the other being what I've stated above. I worry what other people may think of me as an Australian if I went overseas.
