Examples of interpersonal, institutional and systemic racism in Australia
* Individual/Interpersonal Racism occurs when one’s assumptions, behaviors or beliefs consciously or unconsciously racially discriminate against others. It mostly originates from social and economic histories and it is enhanced by systemic racism. People hide behind “personal opinion” to justify their racist acts. Interpersonal racism is a component of individual racism and may occur through a slur, ignoring a person at work or in a social set up. It involves unfair treatment of members of a certain ethnic group causing inequalities. Individual racism in Australia mostly occurs through the internet. Cyber-racism or cyber bullying where racial hatred and vilification is advanced is a common phenomenon in Australia. Racist activities are advanced through social media, websites, chat-rooms, computer games, emails, discussion groups, and music merchandising.
Examples of racist content in the Australian internet space and other interpersonal racist acts include:
1 "It is a world run by the Zionist Jewish Influence and Race Tainting Pedophiles that are only here to rape our heritage and destroy the qualities that make us White People great".
2 "We are rarely informed that the Aborigines were a Cannibalistic people who were saved from extinction by Captain Cook, as he brought some variety to their diet".
3 "If we do not stand now and perform our god given duty to keep OUR country clean of all the Blacks, Jews and Yellow scum from Asia, WE are just as bad as the enemy, if not worse. We are trading our race for that of an inferior form of trash”
