Australia's Old South

Speaking of the Old South, reports suggest Australia's looking a bit Jim Crow as of late, with relatively affluent whites shifting their kids out of public schools into more elite private schools. One of the alleged impetuses - the influx of refugees from overseas into Australia's suburbs and public education systems. Funny how Australia strives to be seen as a worldly entity worthy of the a place on the global main stage, yet it's people seem to have a fairly narrow comfort range for those other people with whom they share the planet.
