For example when the celebrations are coming up they are publicized and the community is made aware of what is being offered in the community. Councils put up billboards and flyers advertising the celebrations. I’d say that’s pretty fair wouldn’t you? Because of the freedom given to celebrate religious days I strongly believe Australia isn’t a racist nation. Of course some forms of racism 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.
We just have to look at the Vietnamese, Italian and Greek communities among many others, for proof that Australia is not only a welcoming nation but one where lots of cultures exist in harmony. For example we don’t have the race riots of France or the UK. We don’t have Indians caste system. Our footy players don’t throw bananas at black players as Soccer fans do in Spain or spit at them as they do in Italy and Norway. We don’t suffer from religious intolerance such as in the Middle East and Asia and I have never seen white hooded men burning crosses on my neighbours’ front lawn like in America.
This is just further evidence to show that Australia is a multi-cultural nation As stated in the earlier paragraph Australia’s population is very multi-cultural. The 2011 census of population and housing show that 21. 55 million people living in Australia. Over a quarter of the population was born overseas or has at least one parent born overseas. If Australia was a racist nation this number would be far less as people would not migrate to Australia, nor have children in a country they believed they were not welcomed or maydiscriminated against.
The Essay on Native Title Law Reform Australia
Mabo and others v State of Queensland (No.2 (1992) HCA 23, is arguably one of the most famous native title claims in Australian history. This case was the first in Australian history to successfully overturn Terra Nullius and essentially led to the creation of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) (‘The Act’). Terra nullius means land belonging to no one or land that has never been subject to ...
This is why I believe Australia is not a racist country. Australia isn’t a racist country as we celebrate things such as Harmony Day, which is a celebration of diverse nationalities living together. We have mosques, temples, churches and other places where people are free to express their own cultural beliefs. Our constitution and laws entitle ‘all Australians’ to equal treatment and opportunity allowing everybody to contribute to the social, political and economic life of Australia free from all sorts of discrimination including race, culture, religion, gender or place of birth.
This shows that Australia is once again not a racist country In conclusion the points raised in this essay clearly show that Australia is not a racist country but one where all nationalities feel safe and secure. People are able to celebrate their cultural and religious beliefs without fear of being made to feel different or wrong. Many nationalities make up Australia and families are happy to start new generations in Australia, where racism is not the normal attitude of most people. So for all these reasons I cannot stress enough to you how Australia is not a racist country. By Blair Cochrane.
