Is it true that Americans and Australians – especially white Americans and Australians – hate for Asians to be in their country, whereas we Asians treat them well when they are in our countries? Is is true that these people call Asians ‘pigs’ and other nasty words?

I’ve lived in Australia and have family there, and I’m American. Obviously, there are racist elements in both of these countries, as there are in every country, and some small-minded people have a problem with Asians. But in general, I think the majority of Americans and Australians don’t have a problem with Asians. Indeed, in both countries Asians are among the most succesful immigrants.

Not really. I am an Indian woman who grew up in KL and Singapore – true, we are spoiled by the multicultural environment and are accustomed to seeing people of all types at all times. But I have traveled to Australia thinking the same thing, and now live in United States. I think that to generalize, I would have to say no concerning racism toward Asians. There will always be individuals who will create problems – either the immigrant or the native, and these incidents are highlighted in the media. Remember the Michael Fay case and how it created a negative image of Singapore?

In every country and in every ethnic group there are racist, hateful people, but that does not mean everybody in that group feels the same way. Yes, there are people in the United States who feel Asians are inferior and call them names. These people probably don’t like anybody who is not from the same background as themselves. Don’t assume that a few people represent the feelings and views of an entire group. That will get you into trouble every time.

Elijah, On the whole, I’d have to say that most Americans are very tolerant of people of different backgrounds, despite what one might see in the media. Of course there will always be individuals and small groups who mistreat others because of differences, but this is not the norm. As a white American, I can’t say I’ve seen any evidence of large-scale fear or hatred of Asians. In fact, I know many Asians and Americans of Asian descent living in my community, and everyone seems to get along fine for the most part. The best way to see this for yourself is to come to America. We love visitors!
