Canberra - Post Report Question and Answers

Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?

Yes. I'm getting too complacent over the about the still-active racism towards indigenous aboriginal Australians. I keep in mind my own country's record. Overt verbal racism from late-50s-aged Aussies is commonplace. Perhaps that's only to those who are White like me, as a pathetic defensive conversational test, but from the news I think not. - May 2023


We had no problem making friends - though it is a VERY homogenous place. I think it is certainly possible for people to feel uncomfortable given the lack of diversity, but I can't speak to that from experience. - Aug 2020
