Racist White Australia vs Nazi era

I agree, Mike. Every Australian has stories of racism in Australia. I could tell you utterly shocking stories from public humiliation of non-Europeans from ordinary little victims (public abuse) to really important non-European dignitaries being publicly abused and humiliated at airports (most recently the Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea was abused and harassed at Brisbane Airport).  
 
However as a scientist currently researching "avoidable death" the hard realities of racism in Australia are the avoidable deaths of Indigenous Australians, currently 9,000 annually and about 90,000 such avoidable deaths under the 11 years of rule by the racist, Bush-ite Coalition Government (noting that the Indigenous population totals about 500,000). Compare this with the avoidable deaths (admittedly many horribly violent) of 200,000 Hungarian Jews out of a population of 700,000 in Nazi-occupied Hungary in the period 1944-1945. 
 
Australia is complicit in horrendous excess deaths in the Occupied Iraqi and Afghan Territories where the post-invasion excess deaths now (March 2007 data) total 1.0 million and 2.4 million, respectively. 
 
Yet most Australians would vigorously and honestly deny being racists. I call this political correctness coupled with resolute ignoring of racist realities (e.g. huge excess deaths of Australia's Indigenous, Iraqi and Afghan subjects) "politically correct racism" or "PC racism".
