This is to open a conversation about life of African refugees in Australia. If you haven't yet, kindly check out part 1 of this conversation here:

I am a Black woman who came to this wonderful country 42 years ago. One cannot sit in a park all day long and expect others to acknowledge you. I don"t care what colour you are, you need a job.
Well said!
I drove buses in Mt Druitt for more than 8 years, and I loved it. I find that you get back what you give, and I treated all my passengers equally. I found the people to be genuine, and they called a spade a spade, which I really enjoyed.
exactly .
Ivan, There’s a difference between being an African refugee in Australia and being black in Australia. You should have titled your episode life as an African refugee down under.
The Druitt isn’t as bad as everybody makes out, never was and never will be. Sure it has some parts are a bit sketchy but just about every area has its problem child. It all depends on how you look at that report, it has two suburbs in the top 10 but there are 8 others suburbs which are also there, you have to remember that what is known as Mt Druitt covers a huge area and has a massive population.
I’ve lived in Blacktown my entire life and I’m now 66 and I’m not scared to walk the streets anywhere, I never even bother to lock the house when I’m out.
The Second Gentleman has some misconceptions about things, the “ insurance” he is referring to is actually the age pension which every citizen is entitled to and pensioners are entitled to a Gold Opal card which limits your public transports costs to a maximum of $2.50 a day no matter how much your travel. Everybody is also entitled to Medicare which covers your costs of treatment through the public health system which while it’s not perfect it’s still far better than anywhere else.
Good point! Australia is an amazing country. It’s for sure one of the best. Thanks a lot for watching!
@@IvainTures I’ve been finding your vlog on australia one of the best at showing the real side of the country, can’t wait to see more.
@@peterbuckley3877 thanks so much! I appreciate that!
I felt sad when that guy sitting down said he has no Aussie friends. But you’ll never make friends sitting alone in a park. Join something. There are lots of football clubs in Mt Druitt and Blacktown. Volunteer. Then you’ll meet people and feel like you are part of the community. Australians are very welcoming and before you know it you’ll be invited to some BBQs and make lifelong friends.
If I had the say, I'll make every new immigrants start to settle in country towns before moving to the city. Country towns has community feel, where we immigrants really feel at home. We join local football clubs, go to local pubs and on most occasions are forced to work with locals in whatever busines that is available. With that we have no choice but to integrate with the locals and the more you do that, the more you won't feel segregated. I have a few south Sudan families in my little country towns and they are doing good working in supermarkets and cafes, running a cleaning business, working in the local hospital, the youths playing soccer and football with the local clubs. I feel you see no difference when you're inside looking out but if you're sitting outside looking in, you'll always feel like an outsider
Love what you said. So True.
I agree, at least for some African refugees. Many grew up living on the land, so they are more accustomed to living a rural lifestyle. A program to relocate city refugees to a dying country town was trialled several years ago. Unfortunately, it didn't work out because at least some of the families had members who developed medical conditions that required them to live nearer a hospital.
Australian Story on the ABC did a story on it. I think it's on YT.
Yes its much easier to integrate and live in the country towns than the city where they tend to stick in their own "groups."
it doesn't matter what nationality it all boils down to attitude and inspirations
This is a wonderful insight that you're doing here about this country and the various kinds of people, rarely done.
When they were talking about operation or sick we have generally free health care system. Most things are covered for you and your get looked after.
The Australian series has been 🔥🔥🔥🔥 so far
Thanks so much for watching bro!
I'm a white Aussie & because I'm disabled with poor health I've rented homes in some of the worst areas in Sydney & Brisbane & a couple of regional towns that are pretty rough. There's a problem when you live in certain towns & suburbs that have bad reputations, no matter what colour your skin is you will automatically be looked down on. So for refugees & migrants coming in it is going to make things even tougher for them if they end up living in these places. The bad reputation of that place is automatically attached to you. They are right about education being the key, getting a better job & getting out of these areas can help a lot. I know myself, I'm wary of talking to strangers when I'm living in these areas, I've had people take advantage of my friendliness in the past to steal from me & even had neighbours threaten me & try to break into my home because they were drinking & on drugs, eventually forcing me to move. They have been both black & white, the crime & drugs were what they had in common. I keep to myself & don't have any friends locally in the new place I've moved because of my past experiences & that is sad. All my neighbours keep to themselves & have ignored me since I moved here, I'm an outsider to them too. Addiction & crime destroy that sense of community & friendliness.
Everything you say is so true. Well said.👏👏
The guy sitting down is an example of what happens when you want everything handed to you, this is not a Mt Druitt problem this is the same anywhere in the world, we all have to work hard and educate ourselves to get anywhere, nobody gets everything handed to them on a plate, but everyone is able to access all gov't assistance in Australia if you need it, his attitude changed a lot on camera when the other guy turned up, he was a lot more positive and seemed to be thankful of where he lives, if the sitting guy doesn't like how Australia is, take a trip back home and compare it, if you think you will be happier and have better opportunities, then make a decision of where you want to live, no point living your life being miserable, if you find out it's not what you want, then come back with a new view of how lucky you are to live in Australia, then do something about it to change what you don't like about how your life is, everyone has the same limitless opportunities as anyone else in Australia no matter your colour or ethnicity, if you choose to be lazy and sit around feeling sorry for yourself you won't get anywhere, the only person that can change how you are is you.
Yes, it surprised me that the men had no job plans or ambitions, and never expressed a wish to help the teens find activities so they are not "bored"! Look at their clean environment, this care is provided for everyone here! If you have responsibility to family, you should try harder! They live among many cultures they should make more effort to learn why, not just complain about wanting "better" and "home"! We "Australians don't understand other cultures"? We are now 270 cultures!
Gina Reinhardt had everything handed to her in a plate, courtesy of the taxpayer. And she's far from alone...
@@ColinDrane-ie3td What you forget to mention is that she pays more taxes in a year than you will earn in your lifetime. She is probably paying for your Centrelink benefits, your booze and cigarettes.
@@ColinDrane-ie3td Nothing was handed to her on a plate by the taxpayer, As much as I may feel her companies are not paying enough tax for the free resources they extract, her inherited position employs over 4000 Australians, and her companies pay an average of $28 Billion in tax, that money goes toward running the country and providing us with the luxury of free healthcare, and opportunities many other countries could only dream about.
@@ColinDrane-ie3td That's incorrect, she had a greedy stepmother to defeat first, and then her children, she works very hard to keep her father's legacy amongst the WA miners mens club!
I'm a white fella living in Australia. I'm fourth generation on my dad's side, and had a grandfather on my mother's side that was native Australian who participated in world war One. Their is no room for racism in my country, or stupidity. I've been on my behind many times in Australia, but there is always someone willing to help you carry on.
In all honesty, if you are willing to work hard and ignore all the BS you'll get ahead and have a great life here in OZ.
OZ is an amazing country! Thanks so much for the feedback!
@@IvainTures Hey mate, I grew up around a place called Dandenong. It's the most densely populated area by new Australian's I know of. The Dandenong council has over 130 international represent countries in its area. The main reason I wanna go back to Dandy, is to check out all the different food stores. Really! Check out Dandenong when you're in Australia next time. Take care bro.
@@marksposito817 I Will do that! Thanks so much for watching !
Agreed
Yes! And there is also Super Annuation which is compulsory in Australia. When you work, both you and your employer are required to put a little bit of your pay away (Super Annuation) so that when you retire, you'll be able to maintain a decent lifestyle. When your Super Annuation runs out, you can then claim the Australian Senior's Pension which will support you paying for food and bills etc... Medical treatment is free for all Australian Citizens. Australians pay a small levy each year to create a pool of funds that supports this free treatment for all citizens. If you want an elective operation like a tummy tuck or a nose job because your not happy with your appearance then you pay for this yourself and your private health insurance, but if you need cancer treatment, heart surgery, basic dental treatment or even glasses then this is all free through bulk billing doctors and the government. To be fair, most refugee or migrant cultural groups take a generation or so anywhere before they start to fully assimilate particularly if they come straight here from wor torn countries where behaviours have been different. Also, the first guy was right in a way, as Australians are a long way from anywhere else and we're not too used to seeing many black African people and so, you could say we are a bit wary but not necessarily racist! We are a good a fair country and bridging the gap between cultures works better when efforts are coming from both sides of the bridge!
Well said
I'm sick of people here calling places hoods, it's far from a hood, it's the Americanisation of terminology, they are on par politically speaking (poor etc), but don't compare on the ground. Housing Commission (gov housing) areas are generally what they refer to as hoods
great objective analysis at the end, it's not as simple as being racist or not, there's so much nuance to it and I can say, until I moved away from hometown at 21yo, that I realised how much of a bubble I'd lived, but that's true of anywhere in the world, humans are a weird lot lol
Completely agree. The difference between Australia and the US is that we don't have ghettos here.
ok before i watch this , ill just say . ive lived in mt druitt 50 years , and i love it .
I’ve never been there, only because I don’t know anyone who lives there lol. I just checked most dangerous crime places to live in Australia. Mr Druitt didn’t make the top 10 in the few list I checked. I also thought she said she was scared of black men now. What if he was Chinese or any other country or had distinctive long blonde hair or something that made him stand out and the memory of whatever that was would bring back the memory.
As you know living here in Aus we are very multicultural. If I like someone as a friend I don’t care what country they come from. There are some Australians I won’t have anything to do with because of their arrogance etc.
I was trying to think how many close or just social friends I have who weren’t born here. I counted quite a lot, probably forgot some as people are just people to me. Speaking of colour. My mother used to suntan and go darkish brown. White people go to tanning places to get dark skin. To me, it’s just a colour. The person, their attitude, kindness, humour, friendship counts more to me and so many people I know. My son’s best friend was his best man, he’s an Indigenous Australian. Sometimes I get scared what to call people as if I get their race title incorrect, I’ve had looks of distain. Yes I was born in Aus, ancestors from UK. Funniest friends are a few Italian couples. When are people going to stop putting the racist label on themselves. Yes some are racist here, but so many aren’t too. We are all human on one tiny planet and our blood is all the same colour.
Rant over lol 😊
The reality about migration is the Federal Govt actually wants the children of migrants more than the actual migrant. The children of migrants are born, raised, and schooled here. They are Aussie thru and thru. The bond with the old country diminishes.
This may sound harsh but it's the reality.
They want people who will work and contribute to the country.
Great series!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this valuable insight! Respect! ☺️♥️✊🏿
Keep up the good work Ivain❤ your English is very perfect 😊
I haven't experienced racism in Australia and I wasn't born here. These two dudes are obviously not integrating. Sad for them.
Where are you from?
Great video. ❤❤❤
Thanks a lot for watching! I appreciate that!
Its on my list, I will be there soon. Down the road thanks for reporting for the next guy and going .
Sad to see these South Sudanese guys didn't integrate well. Most of them were actually born and partly raised in Kenya before some refugee agency resettled them in Australia and Arizona USA in the early to mid 2000s. Hope all works out for them. However, not all is lost. I know one whom we schooled with who is now a doctor in Australia.
Oh wow that’s amazing information. Small world! And there’s still time, I hope things improve soon for them.
Of course they didn't integrate. How could they ? We are different, and the Government is too weak to force any kind of commitment from them to assimilate.
The white Australia policy was in place for a reason.
@@derekgleeson1353 you don’t think nonwhites can integrate ?
@@derekgleeson1353 other non white refugees from War torn areas have integrated well into Australian society like the Vietnamese and Sri Lankans. Sudanese have no excuse they need to give up crime and stop looking up to the African American gang culture, it ruins communities.
@@IvainTures they can't even if they intermarry
Blessings ❣️Good Interview
Thanks a lot for watching!
Great to get other peoples views on things I'm a born Aussie and have lived in both the city & country parts of Australia. I have friends from all parts of the world. Our biggest problem is we need to get people to move from the cities and out into the country towns west of the mountains.
Good stuff ivain!
Appreciate it! Thanks a lot for watching!
Bro, I am PROUD to live in Mt Druitt. Most people here whatever their roots, are really friendly to each other. I'd even say more friendly here than anywhere else I've lived in Sydney. I had to move here 4 years ago because of cost of housing but im GLAD it happened.
My problem is the with people who have never been here having unsafe thoughts or UA-camr's desperately wanting clicks coming around looking to justify their crap. That really pisses me off.
Long live Mt Druitt and everyone who calls it home
Agree 100%, I commonly work in Mt Druitt and it's not what people who have probably never been there make it out to be, I agree with the YT comment, lot's of these guys including Spanian are just out for clicks, they don;t care about what it is they are saying or showing, if it's the truth or lies as long as they get clicks, even Ivain has put a fake thumbnail of him standing under the Harbour Bridge with some lady pointing at him aggressively, this is a fake picture just so it gets clicks, this is what I hate about YTubers, it's all about the clicks
50 years here and no complaints , its real . ppl are real , spanians been in gaol , he knows mt druitt isnt that bad , probably made some good friends from the druitt inside too . theres so many worse places in sydney and australia you could live .
My man thanks alot big up to you the best of the rest
Thanks so much for watching!
Why are so many of you bashing the guy sitting down? He's telling the truth about his experiences in Australia 🇦🇺 and you're getting into your feelings and judging him. I am glad that he accepted to be on camera. Sad that he has wasted 20 years of his life there. Appreciate his openness. Thanks.
You as the outsider you have to make the effort to mix in the area you live and work or go to school play a sport find a volunteer agency to join not everyone on drugs and alcohol in Mount Druitt try joining RFS or SES as a volunteer you will meet and get trained to be an asset to the community and find plenty of friends and opportunities
I was married in Mt Druitt. At that time there were a lot of housing Commissi9on homes, but it was okay.
Oh wow!
In all ventures you get out of it what you put in. The first gentleman has a negative attitude to so many issues in his life but does not seem to have made the effort to improve his lot. You cannot expect to sit around waiting for opportunities to land on your lap. Education is the key to improving yourself & education does not end when you leave school. I am also disappointed they consider Australians to be racist. If Australians were as racist as they claim we would not have such a large refugee & humanitarian migration program. Unfortunately the African crime gangs have done so much damage to the image of young African migrants. The crime gangs are very violent & blatant when offending. Older African migrants have expressed their inability to control the young members of their community who no longer have the strict control they were under back in Africa.
Great videos
Thanks a lot ! I appreciate that!
That guy talking about insurance is referring to superannuation fund.
When you work the employer pays this to your superannuation fund you choose.
The compulsory superannuation rate is currently 11%. It will increase by 0.5% on 1 July in 2024 and 2025 until it reaches 12%. This increase could mean thousands of dollars more in your super account by retirement.
Only if you’re employed!
Go to a construction site, see roads and buildings getting built, there’s a high percentage of Oz and NZ men working outdoors along with men from all cultures. There’s also a lot of Oz, New Zealand and other nationalities that make up our Fire Brigade, police, emergency services and so forth. A lot of national park workers are either Aussie or aboriginals.
I live here but the guy , you are talking to looks to be on drugs. Contact Uganda community or ghanianian community, Kenyan community, Nigerian community in Australia. All there contacts are on line and social media. Through them you will meet Africans from different cultures
Great video, Ivain. It seems like a lot of Sudanese refugees have settled into the Blacktown region, making it a really comfortable place for them to live and making it a hub for support services and amenities. I know that Mt Druitt seems like a safe haven for those two Sudanese gentlemen, and it's really sad that they weren't able to integrate with the local white Australians after living there for 20 years. They both said they want to go back to Sudan, but I do believe there's something more to their story. Great content. I enjoyed watching these types of videos when you interview locals 👍👍👍.
Great point. I agree. I feel the Sudanese refugees in Australia who were lucky enough to be placed in the country should at least make some sort an effort to integrate with the locals after living there for 20 years.
@@TonyTaylor-my1cu stop with the lectures on integration
Great interview, don’t forget to visit the Goldcoast, a touristic city where the rich people live in Australia.
Define a "rich", the GG is a broad mix of people like any place.
Ivain 😂😂😂 but those sudanese guy's makes me laughing how can you be in Australia for 21 years without any savings and still suffering inside Australia u don't even have money to go and visit your home?
In the US only 5 years u can save up to $150,000, now i understand some people are lazy to work
They got caught up trying to be cool and lost perspective.
I really enjoyed your summation at the end, and you are right. Success in this country for a sustainable future is largely dependent on your desire to educate and broaden your skill set, with the right mentality and mindset you are given a solid foundation to build your life upon in this country irrespective or color or nationality. My parents and my two sisters where all immigrants so i speak from past experience..
I agree with that statement. Thanks so much for watching!
please how high & mighty saying he & his country man are the most honest & loving in the world , well if so why did he ever leave & funny a lot of scanners come from your country's,
the world is hard all over , here we have a lot of benifits when you aren't working they should think themselves lucky .
What countries’ will those be, dear?
Being a child of immigrants myself, and having came here as a child, I saw the issues my parents had when they first came to Australia. But whether one’s life as an immigrant succeeds or fails depends largely on the person. My parents tried hard to integrate to Australian culture and way of life. It doesn’t mean they forsake their original culture, but rather than dwell on the differences, they tried to experience the culture and see that it has many positives. Australians are a welcoming people. They believe strongly in mateship and having a fair go. When they see immigrants try to integrate, they will go out of their way to help and include them into their circles.
At least this is what I saw.
Glad you enjoyed the culture helps because you were taken there as a child
@@LetsTravellChannel Yes, I came here as a child, but I was describing the experiences of my parents. 🙏
My parents came here as immigrants in the 60's during the huge post-war immigration surge, and things were very different back then because the government's policy of the time was one of Assimilation, where new arrivals were expected to learn English, get a job and adopt our culture, laws, and way of life (they were referred to as "New Australians" rather than immigrants or refugees). They were given very limited government support in the way of housing or welfare compared to today, which forced them to literally get out there, get housing and jobs, and fend for themselves; this generally worked very well at the time, and growing up here in Sydney in the 70's & 80's a kid the majority of small businesses and "mom & pop" stores and restaurants were owned by these immigrants, and in later years their children.
That Italian ex-taxi driver you had as an uber driver in Sydney was a perfect example of an immigrant of that era who had to quickly fit-in, work hard and make a good life for himself; life early on was certainly not easy for that guy judging by his tales of schoolyard bullying however he was literally forced by his circumstances at the time to be strong, learn English quickly and succeed in life with little help from the government or anyone else it seems
The main problem started in later decades when the "woke" governments of the day started pushing the ideology of "multiculturalism" & "intergration" and proclaimed that the old idea of "assimilation" was dated, bad & wrong, and new arrivals & refugees were now encouraged to retain their own language & culture and live in their own ethnic communities/ghetos and simply "integrate" into Australian society rather than assimilate to it. At the same time the government started providing very generous welfare & housing support to these immigrants & refugees, leading to many of them (particularly uneducated ones from very different rural cultures with poor English skills) ending up like those two gentlemen you interviewed; isolated and feeling alone in suburban public housing ghettos with a feeling of "not belonging" to the broader society but at the same time having no incentive either to lift themselves out of their situation due to welfare and free housing to make a go of it succeed and live a good & fulfilled life (both of those gentlemen admitted that they could easily get jobs if they wanted to and had been offered numerous opportunities in the past to do so, but rather chose not to and instead remain living in the ghetto, unemployed and on generous welfare & housing benefits for life)
Well observed.
Diversity is just Diversity and it can come with some problems. It’s the same all over the world. Diversity of ideology and culture is not a strength. Shared values and principles are a strength.
Who told you Mt Druitt was the most dangerous suburb in Sydney? Not true.
Which one is then?
In the beginning of the video he mentioned the name of the person, then he decided to go to Mt Druid to see if its true.
@@EvilFrox Take your pick of Auburn, Minto, Greenacre, Merrylands, or any other Muslim enclave in South-Western Sydney.
@@philip4193 sad but true.
Great work, Ivain! You're making some of the most interesting vlogs about Australia that I've ever seen!
You're being given some incorrect information though. Medical care is free in Australia in the public health system - you don't need any insurance. Insurance is available if you want it, but you don't need it. And there is no life insurance provided by the government, though you can buy it if you want.
Your conclusions at the end are absolutely right.
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I appreciate that!
Ivainture Ventures in Australia 🇦🇺 Great Story. Keep on traveling Bro.
Thanks, will do!
l would like a take on the rise of crimes by African Australian youth. l was shocked by those boys who stabbed that grandmother. They don't realise they are making it harder for others to walk down the street without being stereotyped.
I don't live in NSW, but we have relatives down there, and some live in Mt Druitt, I'm in Qld. I've driven around a bit when we go down there, and it in all honesty doesn't look that bad. Clearly the people who say it's the most dangerous suburb in Australia, aint been to any dodgy NZ suburbs. I'm a Kiwi and grew up in a very rough area, so nothing here (where I've been) compares to anything back home.
Please, try to vlog about the white drug problems in Australia. I would like to see that too. I like all perspectives.
I tried. Many didn’t want to talk on camera 🎥. Ill try again next time
Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Just saying...
Yeah you are talking to guys who don’t work and hang out in the park all day.. talk to someone who is working. What a crock about only non whites working in labour / construction. Where I live, indigenous Australians don’t want to work even if the job is offered to them. We do have Kiwis who mix well though with others .
He already admitted that he only has friends in his circle of drugs and alcohol. He does not have any want to have a good stable life.
I live in Mount Druitt and was offended hearing that it's the worst area in Sydney, there are places that are far worse that I could name but won't. I've lived here for as long as I can remember and have not had any issues with anyone regardless of colour or race.
It’s really not that bad there at all I agree. It’s a statement from that other youtuber I mentioned.
I live in Melbourne, close to a very large African population. We have Sudanese. Eritrean and Ethiopian. There are lots of African restaurants here.
As a Blacktown boy Born and raised!!! It's unfortunate that the people you are having this conversation with feel disposesed by Australia and its culture..but I 💯 have a different perspective!!!
I've lived in Blacktown for 42years!!! My entire life!
And I'm white!
Australia used to be much more family oriented with family groups looking after grandparents, family reunions get together s etc but it has become more and more fragmented.It is a very isolated country and the people who actually live out in the country areas are even more isolated. But country communities tend to know everyone in their communities.
True Australians do tend to pull others down at times but not just to black people they do it among each other.It's called the tall poppy syndrome.Aboriginals do it to each other as well.
There are terrible wars in Sudan now it would not be good to visit the country at this time. lots of staving, poverty, rapes , refugees, deaths, war conflict.
I have a black friend from the Caribbean who married a white Australian woman and they fostered/adopted two Aboriginal children. So it does happen.But it is true white people generally don't always make an connection with black people it varies across Australia in country, regional and city areas and different parts of Australia. City living for everyone can be very much more impersonal.There are groups of various immigrants, who live in their own areas which become Vietnamese, Italian, Asia,,Korea/Chinese/ Middle eastern etc almost "enclaves" and do not want to speak English or mix with the locals or integrate into the Australian community or change in any way. Some even want to live by the same laws from the countries they fled from.This can cause some concern to local Australians.
Are you going to talk with an Aussie?
And are there any black Americans that live there and their opinion on living there? Great content Ivan!
Thanks a lot for watching! I did speak to an Aussie. Check out the second video if you haven’t already. Thanks so much for watching!
@@IvainTures oh I saw that one..
There are Black Americans in Sydney but they are usually the successful one who work for large American companies
My question is haw can this adult man seating in park instead working ? Most of the African in Mt Druit especially young ones dealing drugs living in public housing ? But there are also good African what work pay mortgage etc ! And they don’t mix with other African ! The big problem with Africans is alkohol drugs and that what you find in Mt Druit ! That way you find dislike to black migration ! Successful African don’t live in MT Druit or Blacktown ! Same as other immigrants
Spanian is a pizza cutter: all edge, no point. Mount Druitt has a terrible reputation, but it's mostly undeserved, and any "gang member" in Australia likes to think they're hard, but would absolutely crap their pants if they went to the USA and saw what real gang shit is all about. I lived in the Druitt with my kids for 8 years, just don't fk around, steer clear of drugs and druggos, don't get wrapped up with wannabe-gangsters, and treat everyone as equals, with some time to get to know the place and the people and you'll find it to be one of the most helpful, supportive and friendly communities in Australia.
Gangs often bilkie gangs who deal drugs etc other gang areas have been in Cabramatta, Liverpool etc but these are eventually replaced, or can be very specific to various ethnic groups etc.. Parramatta has a special Middle eastern crime squad to counter the crime gangs in this area.
People who still know of some of the history of Australia and Sydney would have heard about the razor gangs in Surry Hills, Darlinghurst, Kings Cross and gangsters who lived there and threw acid in peoples faces or threw them out of high rise buildings.Extortion prostitution illicit gambling etc etc was rife.Life was very different then! it was during Al Capone times in US Before that it was sometimes fairly lawless like during the convict times, bushrangers or later gold rush days, but these former slum and crime areas are now very expensive and gentrified. Mount Driutt will also have its time in the sun, although these are many successful people in all walks of life who grew up in Mt Druitt just like other people who grew up in Refern, Surry Hills, Kings Cross etc etc.
Australia takes in a large number of UN refugees, I think approx 20,000 a year. Over decades the areas where the refugees came from has changed. Many came from Europe after WW2 and then Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos. Later from Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan. The Africans came in the 1990s from Sudan, Somalia, and other areas. There is a difference when people arrive with English language skills and are qualified to work eg. nursing, IT and have the funds to live off while they establish themselves. The African population is new compared to Eastern European that is in Australia.
Very true and I agree. It’s much harder to come in without the ability to speak and it creates stress and tension with the locals. Thanks a lot for watching!
Go work mate
Check out Spanians new "into the hood" . He goes to some places around Liverpool. Might give you more ideas or insight. Or Maybe you can connect with him somehow? I think having a contact or local might help in getting right areas and getting people to speak to you.
Nice stories from the Africans living in Australia it's bitter with the sweet. Second
Thanks so much for watching!
Welcome to Australia 🇦🇺 my two brothers ...Im a black Australian
The guy says he wants to go back to visit Sudan without realizing there is a civil war brewing there between North amd South Sudan
Good summary. I just want to add one thing: white Australians are friendly but they don't have the big family culture and they don't have the Church group culture.
White Australians take a long time to get to know white skinned British and Americans, too, even though there's almost no cultural differences. You hear white Bits and Americans say similar things.
No doubt it must be harder for people from different cultures to break into Australian's private lives and circle of trusted friends, I don't think it's about skin colour. I'd even go as far as saying if you are a 'cool' black American or Brit -- who might be in the music scene -- then you'd be likely to break into the Australian circle faster than an white American or Brit who has nothing particular to offer.
The reality is: people want friends who offer them something not friends who look lonely, needy or bored.
I’m from mount druitt r u still in the area be good to meet you
Sydney is not a melting pot like Melbourne and it is worth noting that people from different areas do not mix together much due to the geography which creates enclaves, I know people who live in the east who never visit the west or north and vice versa regardless of race.
Very true! It’s is not a melting pot at all. Thanks a lot for watching!
@@IvainTureshave you ever been to Melbourne buddy
Best of luck with the jobs
Ivain Tures, you haven’t been to Claymore or Airds yet…
Not yet. What is that?
@@IvainTures They are two suburbs , southwest of Sydney closer to Campbelltown. Spanian also made a video about Claymore. It has a lot of Government housing, and many of the people are unemployed or in other government benefits. Similar place to Mt Driutt, maybe a little worse, according to some.
It’s not just Africans, it’s a lot of immigrants who relocate to another country and find it easier to settle in suburbs where people of the same race live. This means that they don’t assimilate into the community. Mount Druitt is made up of government housing. The rent is a fraction of normal housing, these people also receive a health care card which entitles them to free medical and very cheap prescriptions. Because people in these housing developments fall into crime and drugs/alcohol people from outside of these suburbs avoid them. That doesn’t make mainstream people racist. You can see how quiet it is so I find his comment about being a target because he spoke out. Pp
hes talking about super annuation , not life insurance . but it amazes me . ppl from a poor country , main interest is money , not that they are in a country of peace and freedom , thats why theres crime .
Bro you are so close to Papua New Guinea......can you come to Papua New Guinea??
Mount Druitt has had too many teens with nothing to do so they end up getting into trouble. You’re looking at a very small part of the entire country and singling out isolated problems. Mt Druitt has been the cheapest place to live since the 70s, so migrants with less money, gravitate to such houses, including many Australians. I’m in my 70s and I have never met any aboriginals nor Africans. They don’t reside in many Sydney suburbs due to the high cost of real estate, so they tend to live out west or in rural towns further north or over in Western Australia.
that area infront of the shopping centre you were looking for ppl , is usually where the bums and junkies hang out . theyre harmless .but they make the place look bad .
Good to know
@@IvainTures you must have realised that when you were there lol
@@IvainTures hope you found mt druitt is nothing like the stories they tell you about .
@@durv13 I agree! It’s nothing like that at all. I was expecting people Coming out with knives and more 😆
47,615,739 Kenyans living here also. There are vibrant festuvsks, markets and shops devoted to African culture. Even inner city; try Newtown. Friendships are usually formed at places of work or church; so being unemployed is not ideal for anybody no matter what your culture.
I’ve always thought that even though Australia is a First World country, you really can’t enjoy your sleep because a taipan can slip between your sheets or be attacked by a kangaroo with issues on your way to work.
Bondi is the most dangerous, people get stabbed in malls
Dude in the stripe shirt isnt making a lot of sense. Why is he not working again? He says he came there as a young person.
I really feel for them, feeling like they're have real control over their lives. Should have stayed in Sudan..
I gather these guys haven’t been invited along to some Aussie barbecues etc. The guys probably need to get out more and mix more in the multicultural community, forget skin colour guys. It’s a giveaway that the two guys have been here so long but haven’t adopted some Australian in their accent. That means they haven’t been mixing it up. Also some young people move out when they’re 16. Others stay the whole time and don’t move out until they’re in their 20’s to 30s, it varies.
I agree! Thanks a lot for watching!
Australia has plenty of jobs, whether as a volunteer which could give you experience and open doors to a paid job and country areas would love to give people work.
Yes it can be very hard for migrants, or refugees, and very sad to see and hear about in this day and age, however, If you don’t push through adversity and allow yourself to be stuck in victim/poor me mode, and not continue to try and better yourself legally through honest work and keep blaming others, well yes, life in Australia will be hard, or around the world for that matter.
In all honesty if you don’t work, or try even to prove you’re honest and capable of doing so, how can you possibly save to pay for what you want or need to do, regardless of what that is.
Benefits are there to help you get by, it’s not a wage, and it comes out of tax payers pockets.
There are thousands of people in general who are capable of an honest job and life style, yet have never worked and can’t be bothered, because they just want benefits, admittedly many have never tried to excel in their education, because they couldn’t be bothered or were embarrassed to ask for help, so can you blame those who work and have worked hard, thinking and also not understanding as well, as not being happy with those who choose not to take any honest job or jobs which is a start to financial self betterment, yet those on benefits who are capable of work complain.
Another thing is that if you work you’ll certainly meet others of all nationalities and make friends, also get along and won’t always feel so isolated or feel others may be suspicious of you because you may be under the influence of something or illegal whilst sitting around wherever at certain places.
If you can change you for the better you can possibly help change others, wether in a small or big way, because really we’re all meant to get along, it makes us happy and a better way to be.
Thanks so much for this feedback. I agree 100%
I can't help thinking they would be more successful and happy in rural Australia than Sydney. Cities are always anonymous with crime and temptations.
The gang fights are not every year.
Omg. These boys don't see the Australia I see. I will agree over the last 10 years people have changed. The internet has changed people for the worse.
I wish to meet up when you come to Melbourne.
Que Dieu te bénisse Ivain mon grand frère.
Merci bcp
🤔🤔
Generally... I dont think its accurate to say lower education as many immigrants come with professional qualifications.... It is true though there are now more coming than previously and more from humanitarian reasons so there has been an increase in those numbers. Education is tough as a lot white people are poorly educated though they grew up in the system so the understanding of the system is beneficial. I am white-collar though in blue collar areas I dont make freinds as I am not one of them for most of them. Aussies are somewhat insular to their group so it is difficult breaking those boundaries. Activity groups are the best way to expand you network here is my suggestion.
Those two young men need to get out of Sydney. It's a melting pot. If you want to know the heart of an Australian go bush.
That's weird I swear my best mate is Aboriginal another Egyptian another Cherokee and my wife is Asian, it's petty that they have been here for so long and only hang around Africans!
The discussions with the 2 African refugees make me a little mad. Listen to the opportunities given to them including education, welfare benefits, health care & job opportunities. Australia is a safe refuge but they want to go back. The original immigrates to this country worked hard & made a future for their children. I don't hear this from these gentlemen.
You can go home even if you have little money that is your home. You can please everyone I told the people back home when I went home I told them that I can come home because it’s my home whether I have money or I don’t have money I am going to come home.😅
****Interesting clip. Those guys need to get a good skill and make some money before their youth fades away.
Australian hoods aren't dangerous compared to overseas its just low social economical area 🤦🏽♂️
Think Mt Duritts bad, then come to Queensland and say g’day Logan.
It was wonderful. I knew all this... whatever!!!
Act like a thug in Australia you will be treated like a thug and that treatment may include your family and anyone associated with you because they will be guilty of your crime by association with you until trust is earned. Most employers here will do criminal background checks that go back 10years and will often NOT employ you because of the risk you might repeat past behaviour and the impact it could have on their business. If your bored that's not a excuse for criminal behaviour. There is plenty of fun things to do that doesn't involve hurting innocent people, drugs or alcohol.
Sorry but an immigrant whose in the country for 20 years and doesn't contribute to the economy, sorry but as an American, that's a problem.
In Australia you need to work you’re friend in mountain Druid are in the benefit path witch is a sad life always living in a low standard off life work makes you’re life better in Australia 🇦🇺
Live you’re vids
