While abroad in Sydney, I went to the International College of Management. Now that I have taken this class and look back on it, I don't recall seeing one black person that went to my school. In total, I think I saw about 4 or 5 total walking around Sydney that were tourists throughout the 4 months I was there. Our school had a lot of Asians, especially in the hospitality program. I only met a handful of Hispanics, and 1 Middle Eastern. The rest were from Europe, the States, or Australia. I find this very interesting and am surprised I never really realized it until now. I don't notice that there isn't a particular race present, I just notice if a specific person I know of isn't present.
While in Australia, I met so many different cultures and immigrants from around the world. I think I met more non-Australians than Aussies. But now I question why there are so few black people in Australia, and if there is something in their history that I am unaware of.
