Race, media and cultural identities in Australia : Comments

By Andrew Jakubowicz, published 12/4/2010

The level of inter-cultural knowledge in Australia remains extraordinarily low: the media ensure there is very little presence of people of colour.

As usual, individual misses the point in his eagerness to push his anti-Indigenous agenda. If he'd actually read the article, he'd see that it is about the under-representation of ethnic minorities in Australian media, not about his favourite racist hobbyhorse.

CJ Morgan,
Are you just totally blinded by your anti anyone non-indigenous racist attitude or are you one of those no matter what someone says you have to call them racist. You have racism in your subconscience & all you can think of is racism. It's become quite clear if there weren't any racism you'd be totally at a loss.
I have asked you before but you aren't capable of an answer based on integrity. FYI, integrity is a state of mind alien to you. you'd have to be one of the most unproductive posters because all you can think of is racism. you really should seek help.
As for the article of under representation you obviously don't watch indigenous TV or Radio. Move out from your suburb & you'll find indigenous content is well represented in country areas. Just because in southern cities indigenous content is less doesn't at all mean that it is under represented. Hop on you cycle & go out to the real world of indigenous land. Tell us here on OLO how many indigenous communities have had funding applications for media facilities rejected. How many Bracs units can you name ?

You still haven't read the article, have you individual? Guess what - it isn't about Indigenous media, but about mainstream media in which ethnic minorities are under-represented or caricatured.

You seem even less coherent than usual this evening. Have you had a couple of stubbies too many or something?

P.S. I live in the bush, not the suburbs.

The assertion that 50% of Australians are non Caucasian is a bald faced LIE, it's more like 5% not including Indigenous people.
Does everyone see what criminals these Left wing so called "Scientists" are?
We spent decades integrating and eventually assimilating European migrants and their kids into Anglo Celtic society, by the 1980's we had a country to be really proud of in that regard.
Now people like the author want to split us up ,divide us again along the "Wogs vs Aussies" line, it's disgusting.
We are NOT a multicultural country, not by a long shot and we are decades if not centuries away from being able to accept such a reality.
Multiculturalism is phase of social evolution that REAL people who REALLY know what they're talking about put two to three steps ahead of contemporary societies, it's a futuristic dream.
Pluralism too is a dream many stages of social evolution beyond where we are now, believe me, I'm an activist, it's hard enough to pin people down to one point of view let alone to see others.

"The assertion that 50% of Australians are non Caucasian is a bald faced LIE"

So why are you saying it? Its not written in the article and nobody has said it in the comments.

"Does everyone see what criminals these Left wing so called "Scientists" are?"

No.

"We are NOT a multicultural country, not by a long shot and we are decades if not centuries away from being able to accept such a reality."

Well if you go for a walk around Melbourne or Sydney you'll see that we are a multi-racial and multicultural country. But its clear that you are centuries away from accepting that.

Gee, I think that talking about multiculturalism is a bit like talking about the "forbidden zone". The monoculturalists don't want us to enter the "forbidden zone" just in case we see how good it would be to live in a vibrant, tolerant, polyethnic society
