'In America they call color prejudice Jim Crow. In Germany Hitler called it the "superiority of the Aryan race." In Australia we pretend it doesn't exist. BUT it does exist, and at times takes as filthy and poisonous forms as it ever did under Hitler or in the lynch law Southern US States. Particularly in some of our country towns.
