What is Racism
Racism is a form of harmful discrimination.It is where one or more people put down others because of
their race. Racism occurs In the classroom• In the workplace• On the street• In homes• In shops• On the internet• Parliaments
All racism is harmful and therefore should be stopped.
Research
Racism complaints are the second most common after disability complaints.
Research
In America, over 40% of people surveyed saw African American education, income, life expectancy and prison levels as a major problem.
Racism In Leadership
• Australia has never has an indigenous Prime Minister.
• It took until 2008 for the USA to have their first African American president- Barak Obama
Solution
• More education and opportunities for indigenous people to be members of their government. This would mean providing the facilities in remote areas and the money so more indigenous people can learn politics. This would mean better welfare for Indigenous people if more are in governments.
Within Sport
Sporting people are great role models for all generations. The way they behave is in the media. Racism- rather than being a problem within sport, is more a way that awareness can be provided to the wider community.
Solutions
• Sporting events highlighting the importance of equality
• Advertising- Sponsors wanting to stop discrimination or ads during sporting games
• Player involvement in anti- discrimination projects
In General
• Racism is also a huge problem in public
• Seen by children as the way things are and a problem too big to be fixed
• Although against the law, there are too many attacks in public
• Cyber racism is a problem within young internet users and is a form of cyber- bullying
Solutions
• Advertising- TV, Sport Banners, radio
• Education- Some people do not recognise racism and don’t know how to report it
• Special Events- Raise Awareness i.e. Holding Hands Largest loop of people holding hands
I hope this presentation has convinced you that more action is needed on racism. I also hope that the solutions provided help to end racism.
