Although the uniforms are meant to prevent fashion distractions, as you put it, a lot of students still find ways to bend the rules. For instance, most Barbadian schools state that girls’ skirts should reach the knee. But when I was in secondary (high) school, teachers were constantly complaining that the girls wore their skirts far too short. (Funny how their parents didn’t seem to have a problem with it…) Also, many people in the education system say that standards are dropping. A while ago, there was a newspaper report which stated that about 55% university students could not write in standard English. So I guess all things considered, we’re not as perfect as we might seem.

I think the reason why whites might appear more racist is that currently, much of the economic and political power is controlled by countries with large white populations. Therefore, whites are more capable of imposing their will on other peoples. I have to wonder though: if black Africans had been the ones to conquer and colonise much of the world, what would we think about blacks today?

Personally, I don’t have anything against the American people. But I don’t trust the federal government. Why? Some of the USA’s leaders feel that their country has a right to tell the rest of the world how to live. Yet from time to time on CNN, Fox News and other American news channels, you hear about racial tensions, greedy corporations, injustices in the legal system, and other problems in the country that wants to set an example to the rest of the world. Think of it this way: if there was another nationas more powerful than the US, and its government expected Americans to follow their leadership, but still was unable to solve problems in its own country, wouldn’t Americans get upset?

From what I have heard about race relations in Australia, Aborigines generally do not have a good image among White Australians. I wonder, have you ever tried making friends with any Aboriginal women?

That may be true, however I’ve been told that the Australian media is somewhat biased towards Aborigines and Asian immigrants (with the rise of Pauline Hanson, anyway). Which means that the media in both countries have their own shortcomings.
