Sydney - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?
Sadly, the majority of indigenous Australians I saw in Sydney were homeless. Indigenous Australian populations are more prevalent in other cities or states, but not Sydney. There is a strong population of Asian (East and South), but very few Latinos and even fewer Black people. In that way, it did not always feel like a diverse city to me. With that said, I never witnessed overt racism, and only experienced minor things myself, like being mistaken for another person of the same race/ethnicity on a few occasions. - May 2023
