As for their "White Australia Policy", the USA used to make black people use a different entrance from white people and stand up on a bus for white people up until the 1960s. Sammy David Jr was playing Las Vegas in the 60s, headlining a show, and couldn't walk in the front door because he was black so had to go in through the back. Things have changed, right? Things have changed in Australia too, I suspect.

And England let black people perform in their country, but funny enough didn't let any Africans immigrate there. What's worse, treating black people badly in society, or not even allowing any blacks into your society?
(let's also remember it was the British Aristocracy that profited greatly from the slave trade, and have never paid any reparations, no different than the Swiss saying they were "neutral" during ww2 but having no qualms about taking Nazi money.)
