Racism is inevitable. It will always be present, and we will never be able to get rid of it. There is no such thing as a racism "free" country. There will always be a portion of people who are racist, some being Australians. The only things that may change with racism, is the amount of it in a place. Some countries will have a lot, and others just a bit. It's not for me to say if Australia is racist or not, as I am just a young person with not much experience with these things. I also have some arguments against the opposing team's case. Negative stated that Australia is an inclusive, multicultural, welcoming, open and harmonious country. This is easy to say, as everyone would represent their country with a very bias opinion on how racist they are. Negative also said that our racists have "little power". This is not true because racist people will always tell others about their beliefs, influencing them to possibly have the same opinion, or even to repeat it to others. Australia is racist, and the proof is all around us, just listen to a conversation and your bound to pick up some racist remarks.
Think of all the time you have spent your life watching ads, if you add it all up, it might be equal to a few days of your life, maybe even a week. This is time that you will NEVER get back, just because some greedy company wants to make some big bucks. Seriously, what has this world come too?
We may not always be sensitive to some cultural differences but let's be blunt, we're not racist. We don't have the race riots of France or the UK. There is no country that is more open, welcoming and inclusive than Australia. We are always told that we are a multicultural nation and accepting of others. Of course, some measure of racism must exist in Australia, as it does in every corner of the world, but we are fortunate that our racists are a minority with little power or influence and whose irrational attitudes are normally done out of nothing more than jealousy. You only need to look at the thriving Vietnamese, Italian and Greek communities, among many others, for proof that Australia is not only a welcoming nation but one where a multitude of cultures exist in harmony. And that is something to be celebrated. And as for the affirmative point that we don't see aboriginals on television, I have an argument against that. In the total population of Australia, only 3% are aboriginals. So if an ad were to have 100 people in it, only 3 would be aboriginal and about a dozen would be Asian. This is not racism, it is reality.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
