An American man who has lived in Australia for 10 years claims 'racism is stitched into the reality of people's lives here'.
Gary Zazulka, who's originally from New York, slammed what he called 'covert racism' he has observed in the country in a video shared to TikTok.
'Racism is so carefully stitched into the reality of white people's lives here that they don't even know they're racist,' he said.

Mr Zazulka, who frequently posts to TikTok rallying against 'western European expansionism' made the sweeping claim that any 'progressive values' Australians as a people hold are 'undermined by the racist background that built this country'.

'Where as in Australia it was just the British,' he said.
'They did all the hard work of genocide themselves. They did all the bloodshed and bloodletting and killing and slaughtering themselves, just the British. Then they renamed themselves to Australia,' he claimed.
'Indigenous (people) around the world should unite against the same oppressor and that one oppressor is western European expansionism.'
'In Australia they might not have had child slavery like America, but you know those British, they had the opportunities gained from child slavery America brought,' he explained. When they got here genocide was real fast, comparatively,' he said.
