True, but as someone who has seen it first hand in Australia, it is largely. The main problem they have there is with the Aboriginals, the people who were there first, who's land they took, who's people they killed, who's kids they snatched, who's people have a life expectancy 30 years less than the whites there today and who they have only just this week appologised to for it!

It's hard to just "get over something" when I'm trying to learn, paying $75k a year to learn it .. and can't because the teacher speaks/writes like this:
African American Vernacular English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I took an online class .. and it took me forever to translate what the teacher (and some of the class I had to respond to) were saying .. and it was just text that I was reading (not a voice I was hearing).

I have no clue at all how the Australian government works but do those people have representation in their parliament, congress?
I meant $75k period lol sorry .. my bach will cos tme $75k
It's like 15k a year .. so with intrest it'll total up to right at 75k for 4 years. My books and some supplies (but not nearly enough) are included in that price. I pay to go to a small school (class rooms with less than 25 students) that specializes in my chosen program.
I'm not entirely sure on that but I doubt they get too much seeing the way they have been treated. I feel very optomistic though that the new government under Kevin Ruud will move it on in leaps and bounds. He's not a paranoid racist like the former PM, John Howard and has already taken three big positive steps for Australia, signed the Kyoto (or however you spell it) environmental treaty, appologied to the Aboriginals (which John Howard refused point blank to do) and pulled the troops out of Iraq. I'm hopeful that he will reverse John Howards blanket ban on African refugees too.
In the US I do not know of any apologies by the federal government, maybe there is by individual states. I really do not know.I'm not entirely sure on that but I doubt they get too much seeing the way they have been treated.

Sometimes it is that different .. they abbreviate so far from the original word .. unless you already are familiar with what they ar etalking about .. sometimes you just never get it fully.
I have never had anyone who spoke that way misunderstand me.
It's sorta like this .. you have 2 types of handwriting .. Type 1: the kind that is clearly legible, and Type 2: the type that looks like a Dr's handwriting.
I speak like type 1 (although I do have an accent .. but that isn't what we're talking about here), the people I am talking about speak like type 2.
Would you agree with that label? Because I can't really see anything remotely racist in what I wrote. I wasn't even talking about races.
I totally disagree. Racism here seems far less widespread than in the United States, at least from what I've seen, and certainly less than countries like France, India and Zimbabwe.
Not specifically, the way NZ does with the Maori population, but that is not to say there aren't Aboriginal parliamentarians (can't remember if there are any currently, but there have been in the past... Aden Ridgeway was a Democrats senator for a while).
No I wouldn't
yes that is exactly correct.
One speaks grammatically correct english (the kind you are "supposed" to learn in school .. basedon the phoenics system) .. the other alters that english and basically turns it into a sub language that is based on abbreviated versions of the words .. verbs/adjectives, ect.
no .. it's not regional .. it's "cultural" for whatever reason.
And US english is much different than UK english

A letter "u" in what? That letter is in a lot of words lol, it's also not in a lot of words though.
