Racism is ignorance, and I agree with you on solving the problem through channels such as education, and better representation in the media. but who will educate? and who will represent? thats a case of who came first the chicken or the egg? Cheers Ariana

But then again, I didn't think Cronulla could happen either. Obviously Australia has had racial problems in the past (the white australia policy being a perfect example), but I thought we were over that-clearly we aren't. However no one seems to want to admit it that we might have a problem. Its a tough issue to discuss, but its time to acknowledge that oracism is a much bigger issue than previously might have been thought. And we need to find ways to solve it through channels such as education, better representation in the media, and tougher punishment on racially motivated crime.
