CNN tonight reports that South African cricket team will boycot Australia by not coming to the country if racism done by the spectators still prevail and and not properly dealt with by the authorities. Likewise, the Sri Lankan cricket team who just done its tour to down under complaines about racism treatment against them.

When Corby case in its peak, many racism letter queued in the letter-to-the-editor in the Jakarta Post and you could find many in various Aussie’s blogs.

The question: why is Australian (especially the whites) often associated with racism? Why such cases nowadays relatively unheard of carried out by their white counterparts in other parts of the world (europe & usa) or at least not getting media headlines treatment?
