Racism in Australia

While I was searching some information about Aboriginal people in Australia I found some shocking information that I thought it could be something we should talk about. 

According to this site:  

-1 in 5 people living in Australia was a target of racial discrimination (around 4.6 million people).

-3 in 4 Indigenous Australians regularly experience racism.

-Nearly half of all Australian residents from a culturally and linguistically diverse background have experienced racism at some time in their life.

Now, we can generalize and say that all Australians are racist, because they're not. In fact, If some people see some of these actions they’ll be disgusted and against it. However, the numbers are kind of disconcerting seeing that immigrants are a significant part of the population, as well as the aboriginal people. And it isn’t something that only happens in Australia, we can see it all around the world. Even in our country, there are some people, who may make awful remarks towards Mapuche descendants, Peruvians, Bolivians, etc. Just because of their place of origin.

In my opinion, racism is a difficult subject because not everyone sees it the same way. Some people make racism comments without knowing or are blind to what is happening around them. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t change it. It’s our responsibility to educate ourselves, think every time we speak and put ourselves on the other’s shoes. If we hear or experience something like that we, as teachers, need to correct the other person and make them see the wrong of his actions.

Here are some videos of some situations in Australia.

So, what do you think? Do you think this numbers or images are normal or justified?
