They used to have a "White Australia" policy until late 60s. (Basically yes, we want immigration in order to populate our country, but we only want white people). Since then they have stopped having racist immigration policies, so they have just reduced all immigration.

It's all about keeping one type of immigrants out.

Last year, India and China were the biggest sources of immigration to Australia - 29,018 and 25,509 ppl respectively. Followed by the UK at 25,274.

Yes, that policy from 50 years ago sure is good evidence that they have a racist immigration policy today!

And the American South having a policy of racial apartheid 50 years ago provides no context for the current day.
