When will international students learn that Australia is NOT a racist country? Ok, I find it very ironic how international students accuse Australia of being a 'racist' nation, when the Australian government is making great efforts to give international students appropriate accommodation in Australia. Of course, I have more points to make my question more understood. Fact 1: The Australian government allows international students to come and study at Australian universities, meanwhile many other countries DO NOT offer the same opportunities. Fact 2: The Australian government developed English classes to help international students to develop better English speaking skills. However, some international students are reluctant to learn English, instead they bribe other people to complete their English essays for them. Many international students use their "poor english" as a reason to avoid conversation with other people. Fact 3: Australia is a multicultural country that respects all cultures. However, many international students only associate with members from their own ethnic or language background. They are reluctant to talk to any person from a different culture. Fact 4: Inbternational students are allowed to celebrate their national events in Australia. However, international students are often reluctant to participate in any national Australian event like Australia Day and ANZAC Day. If you ask an international student to come celebrate with you, they might make up excuses like; "I'm busy studying" or "My english is poor". Fact 5: Many international students work illegally, this leaves many Australian citizens unemployed. Many local students must wake up at 5am to work, or else they cannot pay their rent. Even though international students work for very long hours, most of their money goes to their own families living OUTSIDE Australia. International students do not even pay taxes since they are working ILLEGALLY. Fact 6: Whenever someone harrasses an international student, the whole country hears about it for the next 2 months. However, there are more Australian citizens being assaulted and it only appears on the news for less than a week. Fact 7: International students don't contribute to Australia, they take whatever they receive, and offer nothing in return. They complain about student poverty while their wealthy parents are paying for their education. Ok. This pretty much explains most of it. If you've actually bothered to read all that, then you tell me; who is more 'racist'?
Why are international students even allowed to work in Australia? If international students are so keen to study in Australia, then they should be studying full time and not working. If they need experience, then they can do volunteer work. Paid work should be accessible by local students like me and other Australian citizens who pay taxes and serve the country. If international students think they are poor, then they should just go back to their country and get a job there. They come to our county and take away our jobs, and the government suffers nothing. It is the local students who suffer the most, because the unemployment rate is high in Australia and many local residents are getting up at 5am in the morning to earn $10 an hour.

How should international students apply for financial aid? Since international students cannot apply using the FAFSA, how can they apply for financial aid? By aid, I mean need-based grants, not scholarships or loans. Some colleges use institutional aid. But the institutional aid form that calculates your estimated family contribution asks for a social security number and info from a U.S. tax return (eg. 1040EZ etc.). So how can an international student calculate his/her need using the institutional aid form?

Do international students work more than 20 hrs a week? I know that in most of the countries like US, UK and Australia, international students are not allowed to work for more than 20 Hrs a week.

Why do international students behave in such shameless ways? They come to our country. Take our jobs, and work for illegal hours. Show no respect for our nation's values and priorities. They are racist to westerners. They dominate our universities, and don't study. Our nation has continued to grant international students with hospitality, but they have shown us NOTHING, but their arrogance and selfishness. They don't study or work, but spend most of their time touring the country. Most westerners are hard working and polite, even the racist westerners show respect for foreign visitors. However, international students show no gratitude for our nation, they always complain about student poverty and racism, while they are probably the most racist people on earth. Our nation has shown them conditional hospitality, but they have given us NOTHING in return.
Why do international students discriminate against local students? I think it is ironic how international students complain about racism and student poverty, while they are selfish, arrogant and greedy. Many international students don't even study, they just come here for a holiday. They work for illegal hours, and they show no respect for our nation's values. Many westerners are unemployed, even though they've worked all their life. They cannot even get into university because those international students have taken away all the remaining positions. Some international students are not even qualified for certain jobs, they just provide fake information. Everyone knows international students are liars and cheats, they often pay lecturers to give them good grades at university. With that being said; WHY do international students complain about student racism and student poverty?????? Even though they have access to more opportunties, and the government treats them like celebrities. They don't need to pay taxes, and their parents pay for everything. They complaiin about local students beinbg "racist", while international students are always eachother for money.

What deaf schools in america would admit international students? I work at a deaf school in northern Ghana. There is one extremely bright student who I have become close to.

Why should international students be allowed to work in foreign countries? If their parents choose to send them overseas for education, that means they should already have enough money to survive outside their own country. If they are poor when they leave home, then they should stay in their country and get an education somehwere convenient. They have no right to be taking over our jobs and universities. Many international students don't even care about education, they only come to our country for a holiday. They should not be coming to our country if they cannot survive, and they should not be taking away our opportunities.
Why do most westerners express sympathy for international students? Most international students are selfish and arrogant, they come to our country and take our jobs. They dominate our universities and never study. They don't even care about education, they just come for a holiday.

Even the racist westerners show respoect for international students, but those overseas students are racist Nazis. They complain about student poverty, even though their parents can afford to pay for them to study overseas. Some of them are even known for bribery. Most local students must work day and night to make a decent living. Wrsterners don't bribe lecturers to get good grades, they earn everything through hard work.

How do I punish these selfish international students? Last year I met 2 girls who were international students. They were poor, and had nowhere to stay. I felt sorry for them, so I let them stay at my house free of charge. I even provided them with food and drinks, and paid for their laundry. They were very nice. However, after they finished studying, they returned to their country and I never heard from them again. I was very disappointed, how could they forget someone who has helped them when they needed it. Is this how most international students treat local students? How could they leave without saying goodbye. If you are a professional racist. Then let me ask you. How would YOU confront this type of situation.
