For a modern country rich in culture, Australia's past has seen its fair share of racism. From the first European settlement and the attempt at breeding-out aboriginal people, to the more recent opposition of non-white immigration, travellers to this day still witness or encounter first hand experiences of this discrimination.

How about you? What are your experiences? What are your views?
