What's happening in Australia and many other countries may also be related to huge population relocations that are going on all over the world through immigration. A huge immigration influx currently is happening in the U.S. and many social & political observers are concerned that the U.S. is headed toward some serious civil unrest if something isn't done.
The Americanization that your parents and grandparents experienced may have worked at the expense of African Americans, the group that has rioted most often in the late 20th century U.S. There's an interesting & informative article on the topic of immigration, multiculturalism, Americanization, etc. at:
