AUSTRALIA A RACIST NATION?

Sky News Australia asks the following question in an online poll:
Do you think Australia is a racist nation?
Sky News evening news revealed a 61% Yes vote so far. Click the link and vote! (The poll result is only available to Sky News viewers; I'll try to keep you posted.) Oh yeah, I voted No.

Update: a Sydney Muslim youth leader or representative or some such, whose name I didn't catch, just tried to explain away – during an interview on Sky – the conduct of youths of Middle Eastern appearance by citing their anger and... "hatred of the western world". Now there's some broad-brush racism for you.

Update II: Well, that was a waste of time. The poll is now gone and I never did hear the final results.
