Racism & Identity

To start a conversation, try reading out the statement below and diving deeper into the links…

Stan Grant suggests racism is the foundation of the Australian Dream. The ending of Adam Goodes’ career demonstrated how racism is present at the centre of Australian culture. Daryl Davis, a black musician, dismantled racism by befriending KKK members. Racism is just one form of ‘ism’ relating to identity… some others are sexism, sexualism, religism, antisemitism, ageism, ableism and classism. The Heineken ‘World’s Apart” advertisement is an example of what is possible when people with vastly different opinions and attitudes are brought together in an environment rich with conversation catalysts.

Now ask everyone in turn, to share their feelings, thoughts, and actions in response to what has been read out.
