    Racism isn’t an inherent trait in humans. It’s a learned behaviour, culturally embedded from emotional fragility and fear of ‘Others’ (those unlike oneself). From my view, the fight against #racism is an educational issue, both formal (schooling) and informal (home life). Public social campaigns on what passes for main stream media would go a long way to fight this — for anyone who remembers the success of the road litters campaign: ‘Don’t be a tosser…’

    The problem is that #Australian racism is too often ‘normalised’ and too easily dismissed as an historical artefact that characterises ockerism. It needs to be called out for what it is, by all of us when we see/hear/read it. It’s our job. The job of all who live on this borrowed land.
