I've had this issue that has been bugging me for a while, I don't expect this to be a popular topic with many people on here but I'm going to have my say.
Going through the student club societies there are so many listed as "Chinese X Society" X being Accounting, Science whatever. If I made a similar club that gave a similar message that this club is for Australians I would be called a racist and god knows what else. Clubs should not be defined by race, which happens to be the case I'm seeing but because it's Chinese no one is barking about it until now.
Another unrelated incident is when looking for accommodation on Gumtree, I went through so many ads that listed a room for Indian, Chinese, Korean only... but what If I went ahead and listed a room for an Australian only.. does that make me a racist?
