Discrimination in Melbourne

In the last few years there have been lots and lots of issues of discrimination that are faced by students.

All students at some point have culture shock. But some experience it more than others.
The Indian students have faced it more than others with lots and lots of racial taunts and bashings particularly at night and in the dangerous suburbs such as Footscray, Dandenong etc.

Some of the other Asian students have faced it in shops where locals raise the prices of everything or refuse to help them.

It also is existent when there are no concessions for international students for public transport and uni fees. Uni fees are triple the amount that a local has to pay.

For some of the jobs such as fast food and convenience stores international students get paid lower rates than others.
