Australia, let’s talk about racism and discrimination 😢✌🏽 | Australia Talks | ABC Australia

[@Daddynfhjncftv]

As an American I fell in love with Australia the way they told us how they really feel.

[@rjclue2630]

Am indian immigrants work for nsw health for many years serving the elderly. I have been many times had to run away from racism in Sydney I. Health care. Worked in the country side where they look Down very low on aboriginal ppl. I gave up working as a heath service career and persuading to get a degree. It is very hard in the white privileged society which is very cruel 😢

[@sunyata4974]

No, Australia is not a racist country! People should travel more.

[@skyfive3049]

There was a rumour that the people of Australia were really helpful.. I guess that's a myth 😆

[@audreydoyle5268]

​@@skyfive3049 we are helpful, to our own "tribes". Aussie spirit extends as far as 2 shades lighter or darker than oneself. Rarely does an Aussie help for the sake of helping if there's high contrast, or the camera is on them.

[@ChrisBecksTV]

Speak for yourself.

[@fourgedmushrooms5958]

Learn more GD history Too. Everyone was racist back in the day, look at the whole china Japan thing they hated each other for thousands of years.

[@PAX777]

I lived in Melbourne, Vic and the Mid West ( Conservative Republican America) for many years. Of the two, I found Australia to be the most openly racist society far more than anyother place I have ever lived. The fact that Australia surprisingly does not show up in the top 10 most racist nations on Earth ranking only proves that these supposed rankings should be taken with a pinch of salt and are highly prone to subjective pro-western bias.

[@Wayne-fn1sw]

English brought thier racism with them when they left the UK to Australia to invade , Australia 🦘 is a British colony.

[@jessstirland8338]

Got to Japan, China or Germany then

[@Mimu888-nj2sq]

Australia is crazy tbh...I used to had discrimination and said rude things as well..Cause I got Asian mix😢

[@Khinh-xq6lx]

thats why australia live in the old world

[@rjclue2630]

Very cruel like a demon culture 😮

[@ZzzZzz-yd2je]

Au super developed, just wants to keep the trash out

[@Wayne-fn1sw]

Same mindset in the UK and Australia full of expats .

[@PHWAN-o3g]

Economically they are new world in Oceania/Asian Pacific region. But old traditions from White Australian policy from the 80s are still alive.

[@beebefreddy2905]

In January 2018, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Limited reported "dirty information" about the previous government and several MPs.

[@Pasha-z7p]

Australia has deep racism problem especially NSW, Sydney.

[@spinebuster9490]

Brisbane, QLD: 💀💀💀💀 deadly.

[@Stuffyim]

The fact that the majority of my highschool is better than alot of fully grown adults when it comes to racism and accepting other's culture is just sad

[@spinebuster9490]

I thought people matured and become less racist too. Racism from women is hurtful but I got a lot of it from white men.

[@JaviSailorMau]

I've been wanting to visit Australia for a while now. This topic has been one I've wondered about though. I know racism is everywhere but I guess it's because its a different environment.

[@irlcheyenne]

australia likes to think we’re not racist at all but it’s honestly everywhere. most don’t notice because it’s usually ‘casual racism’. unfortunately, indigenous australians cop it the most. west and south asian people get treated quite poorly as well.

[@irlcheyenne]

i will clarify that like i said it’s mostly casual racism, usually just weird/judgemental looks, little remarks, or people thinking they’re fine when they’re actually saying/asking something extremely offensive. most aussies will turn a blind eye to racist jokes or just laugh along. it’s definitely much more of a subtle thing.. unless you anger someone because then you will probably hear every insult and slur under the sun 😬

[@DoyinVoice]

@@irlcheyennewhy would anyone of the receiving end have to endure this. If the role was reversed how would the feel? After all their ancestors cruelty towards the Aboriginals. I have never understood the evil of such so called human beings. Pure evil and hatred and treatment because of the pigment of the skin. I'm Black and proud. My skin is beautiful and rich and will age beautifully when i'm older. I'm blessed 🤍

[@PAX777]

If I were you, I'd dump Australia and instead visit New Zealand.

[@PAX777]

Australia sucks! New Zealand is better for a visit. You're wasting your money travelling to Australia - which is a dirt cheap discount version of the USA.

[@StellaShiffer-u6w]

We don't have anyone to make a complaints really.I like to talk about this to someone

[@anthonyjones5481]

Racism and prejudice goes hand in hand, whether people admit it or not. It's in every country, not just Australlia What about people iñ the USA most are.

[@siakokat3048]

Canada is much better on this than Australia

[@siakokat3048]

The level of racism in Australia is the same as some southern part of America

[@rudrigodiaz1099]

WHy are Australians racist? Haven't they realized that they are very close to Asia? Not Europe? This should be a no-brainer by now that majority of the new migrants would come from Asian Nations. Jeez Wake up!!!

[@Emmma916]

In the USA if you go to redenck small towns you find a lot of ignorants but if you go to big cities is really cool 😎😎😎 there is less racism in the USA than in Australia because Australia is al isolated island.

[@rowdyghost4713]

Not at all bub. Being a military brat, I’ve lived on damn near every corner of the planet growing up, and as far as overt racism, America is toward the bottom. European nations are by far the most racist on the planet. It’s also easy to say that when America literally has more people than all except 2 countries.

[@saifhasan4481]

Its very sinple. Dont be bloody racist. Full stop

[@cloudpat1]

Nz government mr luxon gets his ideas from Australia and idealise them, now i sort of understand after reading these comments why luxon act the way he does against us maori here in Aotearoa i wonder if he brethren church too

[@sofascialistadankulamegado1781]

Seems like the focus on social issues are overriding larger problems such as housing affordability, the likely possibility of international conflict and high inflation. It irks me when social issues are politicised. It never turns out in the peoples favour and the underlying issue will never go away regardless of how much an organisation tries to shut unsavoury people up.

[@sorenlorenson8327]

You can focus on more than one issue at a time . Just because discrimination is being discussed it does stop anyone campaigning for or talking about the issues you mentioned. If you suffer from discrimination these issues are probably as important as the issues you have mentioned.

[@TenSCent-lv4js]

Social Issues are a major part of stability and instability. If you forget to focus on social issues, it can lead to societal decay. It is as important as every economic issue, maybe even more.

[@dazo8671]

Australia is fine just coz other nations r failing it has nothing to do with Aussie, great at gun control too.. deal with it 🙋‍♂️

[@indoaussieasian8835]

haha you want viewership ... naa your not geting it from immigrants.

[@xxxoo2131]

🤔🤔🤔

[@kamal-hassan]

What are you thinking at?

[@alexdelvento1273]

[@cjames21]

Everyone is a little bit racist! No matter your skin colour or ethnicity it just is and always will be

[@amywas1]

I think that is a different type of racism to the weaponised ideology being frantically peddled today. Quite different the love of one's own people and her character which is an essential part of our humanity and the true strength of our diversity as humans.

[@maurice7783]

Maybe, but the racism against Indigenous Australians in this country is shameful.

[@TenSCent-lv4js]

Exactly but the whites have it ingrained a bit more than usual inside of them. Maybe because they find people different from them a little bit lower. And unfortunately constant level of prejudice leads to change people. Racism invites racism

[@TenSCent-lv4js]

​@@maurice7783 The amount of sadness that overcomes me when I see the situation of the aboriginals. And those people will go to the extreme in order to deny and hide their racism

[@DoyinVoice]

terrible uneducated logic. what a sorry excuse of a person
