I also have noticed that many simple, down-to-earth people are not so judging as those poshy-wanna-be-troops that pretend to know the world but in fact know nothing but discriminating others.
I just wanted to get rid of that, because I have noticed that HK is VERY materialistic minded and that far too much wannabes try too hard but fail.
One message : don't try too hard cause you're only going one way : failure
Think of this way, how is Hong Kong can be a world-class city when a large "proportion" of HK discriminate against outsider as well as mainlander. Their society as well as their kids are taught to think that way since they were young. Plus I don't forsee much forseable change in the discrimination law, as afterall who runs the legal system? It's the same people after all @@

On the other side, I heard one of the forummer mentioned that HK that lives in Australia can be more tolerant. Yes, I do agree to some extent but not all, I think this applies to HK who tends to be culturally different from their local counterparts, ie. mixing with different cultures. I personally have encountered some HK who live in Australia practically hangs around with the local HK people, speak the Hk language and does not mix around with other race. After all if you look at this way, it's the same as living in HK. I heard Vancouver is even worst...
