+2 well said.

Yes, I totally agree with you. The whites are more straightforward and blunt in their conversation, but the thing is that they do not take those words personally. Whites who are capable are arrogant, no doubt. I worked with a few of them. As you said, suck it up and also be positive. Learn a few tricks/knowledge from them as well and it will definitely benefit you.

I'm from Malaysia reside in middle east, no relation to Australia topic here.

In middle east you will have different people from around the world working here.

Generally, Whites are more sociable, asian if you don't say hello, they won't say hello to you. Arabs, if you say hello to them, they will say 10 times hello to you and if you don't say, you will say they are arrogant.

So the same concept applied everywhere in the world. you say people racist, arrogant. Other people also view the same on you.

Again, 1 or 2 people leave a bad experience for you does not means that billions of them is the same type. not fair to judge them in this way.

This reports' sample size is definately more than 1 or 2 "outliers". http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.c...icants-brisbane

Heck, even in Malaysia need to find out are you Bumiputra or not. Not big deal.

Helpdesk is ALWAYS at firing line no matter the race.

And yet, i can sucked it up(unless there are some words that offended me) since that is my job anyway. I know the job description before I accepted the offer and I can't blame anyone.

Also most of the people will thought Helpdesk is based from India and they will shoot you before open your mouth. That's the fact(even me shot them when dealing with personal ISP issue)

Whites love their families better than asians. Asian make their wives as maids + wives but whites always share housework with their wives although they are busy.

From what I see, they never teach their kids properly.

i beg to differ.

Last I heard Aus is again tightening the immigration criterias again. So unless you're really good or working in a field that they require talent, it's highly unlikely you will get in. And remember folks for the thousand time DO NOT JUMP AEROPLANE!!! Not only in Aus but anywhere in the world! Overstaying is a SERIOUS offence in many countries.

Yeah... i have friends still waiting for their PR after 4 years. Sucks really.

hhhmmm, hurt ? am i supposed to get hurt with his way of talking ? in reality, I think people will avoid him. I would rather avoid than getting hurt...waste time lah.

there are many people still waiting to be approved. it depends whether your occupation is under priority list or not

they going to increase visa fee starting next month.gonna apply for bridging visa b before they increase

if not approved, then apply somewhere else lar....

And yet still many people die, die also want to work Australia despite the less than encouraging job market (for anything that is non commodities related), the stricter PR requirements, the high taxes and the blatant discrimination that you (as Asians) will no doubt be facing when trying to get a job there. So unless you already got the job, i highly recommend you go somewhere else. Afterall why want to go somewhere you are NOT WELCOMED??!!

Added on December 6, 2011, 4:42 pmOf course ^ will avoid. Coz He/She knows I'm right and has nothing at their disposal to prive otherwise. You can only have an argument with facts and I gave facts wherelese others just blow hot air and say things based on their "experience".

Like when they go to Aus on a 3 week holiday and say Australians are GENERALLY very polite and nice and not racist. (I mean cammon, you're a tourist, of course they are gonna be nice. Otherwise how to earn yr money?)

BTW i strongly believe ^ does not know the meaning of sarcasm when i say "And you think M'sia media tell the truth" or smtg along those lines. These are examples of people who take what other people say literally without the need to go actually do their own research. Failure of our education system? or just spoon feeding mentality? I also wonder why these people even bother to look outside M'sia since "according to our Ministers and ruling party, M'sia is a paradise and the greatest place in the world to be at"

Its true. DONT COME! I am currently staying in Australia since my family migrated here. But still its pretty hard for an asian to get a job here. Even u r alot smarter than them they still will prefer their own people anyway. That's y i plan to go back malaysia to work nxt yr. Just an opinion.

Now start seeing more European come to work in Malaysia, economy must real bad over there.

R u married with children?

Europe is screwed pretty badly.
Spains unemployment is 20% at one point not too long ago and is hovering over the 10% mark. Greece and Italy might be even higher. Even in the Great USA its around the 10% mark.
Imagine, oout of 10 people, 2 people are unemployed. How are they going to feed themselves?

No i am not. i am 22 years old.
