I can't imagine anything happening on that scale in the UK, or anywhere in Western Europe for that matter. Behaviour like that is very Eastern European, Russia/Poland-esque.

I can't even imagine the worst British football hooligans behaving in such a racially motivated manner. Australia likes to promote itself as a country of tolerance and acceptance, but things like that in Europe only happen in countries like Poland, Russia and Serbia.

Australia is without a doubt the most racist country in the Anglo-Sphere today. Their government may be politically correct, but the attitudes of the people are like 70-80s UK.

Australians like to call their behaviour "banter", and "just a laugh", but I think the climate of intolerance there runs deeper than this.
