Racism in Australia has existed against various ethnic
or minority groups since British colonisation.
Examples can be found throughout Australia's history -
from Indigenous people, to African, Asian, Pacific Islander,
Middle-Eastern, and so on.
The Racial Discrimination Act - 1975 (RDA) makes it
unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his
or her race, colour, descent, religion, national or etnic
origin or immigrant status. It also makes racial hatred
unlawful..
Yet many people today still experience racist attacks
from ignorant people. Old habits die hard.
