Are you a casual racist?

While many Australians don’t see themselves as racists, new research shows that we are still harbouring unconscious biases, behaving with subtle racism.
Blatant racism, such as verbal abuse, may be less common in Australia because it is now socially unacceptable, but it appears that subtle racism is widespread.
• COMMENT: Face to face with a racist – why I spoke out
• Is ‘Jonah from Tonga’ making us look racist?
Videos taken of racist attacks on public transport manage to fill society with outrage, but it’s the subtle, everyday racism that’s much more damaging.

“It is critical the country has an honest conversation about how widespread & despicable racism is
A new study by Beyond Blue shows that one-in-five Australians surveyed admit that they would move away from an indigenous Australian if they sat nearby.One-third of people surveyed also believe that indigenous Australians should act more like ‘other Australians’.

Beyond Blue CEO Georgie Harman told ABC’s News Radio on Tuesday that many people are unaware of when they’re being discriminatory and racist.
“That’s one of the most disturbing aspects of the findings, that many people didn’t realise that those acts of unconscious bias actually constitute racism,” said Ms Harman.

“We’re saying that subtle racism is just as damaging to people and compounds people’s distress and sense of worthlessness,” said Ms Harman.
that it highlights that reality that some people may not actually be aware of the impact they’re having on other people,” says Professor Markus.
“Racism, like any form of discrimination, leads to distress, which in turn can lead to depression and anxiety,”

What can be done?
Stop and think about your behaviour, and the behaviour of your friends, Ms Harman said.
“The best way to prevent depression is to not discriminate or speak badly or

“In a situation for example, where people are telling racist jokes, make clear that that’s actually not acceptable.”
Ms Harman said it was time we started to address racism, subtle or overt.
“We’re about raising attention to the issue, calling it out and saying ‘look we’ve got to stop, we’re better than this as a country’.”
Looks like Ebony needs to re-read what she wrote and become aware of just how terrible she looked as she laughed and grimaced as Mr. Goyal talked.
