| Summary |
This week on Insight, the sort of racism you don't usually hear. Discussions about prejudice are often framed in terms of whites against non-whites. But what about racism between different minority groups in Australia? Or even prejudice against your own race?In a candid and frank discussion, Insight lifts a lid on comments that Aussies from all sorts of backgrounds are making about one another - either in hushed tones, in jokes, or behind closed doors.We also look at the psychology of racism - whether we're all biologically hard-wired to feel threatened by people who look different to us, and are genetically predisposed to want to stick to our own "tribe."Australia is due to launch its first ever National Anti-Racism Strategy this year. Is it the right approach? And does it have any chance of transcending the impulses that some experts believe we're all born with? |
