Top 10 Racist moments in modern Australian media that prove we haven’t really haven’t come that far. If you scratch the surface of my family history you will find I hold the immunity idle for roughly 90% of the ethnic population of the planet And Being as culturally ambiguous as I am, I have been a variable raw shack test for racial profiling, Representing the mathematical mien of the human race put me in an excellent position to point out The top 10 Racist moments in modern Australian media that prove we haven’t really haven’t come that far Number 10 N-word boy soap https://soundcloud.com/chris-keating/nigger-boy-soap-pads Now I know I said Modern media but I thought I would start with one from the 50s Just so we can see just how far we’v come as a nation Enough enough enough u get the point Number 9 Nicky Winmar literally points out that his aboriginal In 1993 St Kilda player Nicky Winmar faced a hostile Collingwood crowd at Victoria Park. Winmar and Aboriginal teammate Gilbert McAdam withstood racist taunts during the match. St Kilda emerged victorious and spontaneously at game's end Winmar lifted his arms over his head, then raised his St Kilda jersey to point at his skin, declaring: "I'm black - and I'm proud to be black!" Despite his proud stance, the racist taunts continued. In 1999 Sam Newman appeared on The Footy Show in black face after Winmar cancelled an appearance on the show. Number 8 samantha armytage prefers white skin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCfNGxZBB-M Number 7 Cathy freeman points out she’s aboriginal At the 1994 Commonwealth Games, Cathy Freeman was reprimanded by Games boss, Arthur Tunstall, for displaying the Aboriginal flag after winning the 400m race. Tunstall put out a statement emphasising that "the Australian team is competing ... under the Australian flag". Asked if he had considered allowing Freeman some leeway, Tunstall said: "No. What would have happened if the other five ethnic groups [in the Australian team] had flown their flags? Total chaos." At Atlanta in 1996 and Sydney in 2000, Freeman was warned she could be stripped of any medals at the Olympics if she showed pride in both her flags - Australian and Aboriginal. After winning the 400m in Sydney, she did and well they didn’t Number 6 our asylum seeker policy is a national disgrace Now allot of people are going to be angry about me including this but don’t get me wrong I’m all for keeping out immigrants but I’m not racist if we are going to stop people from coming here We start with the English and the New Zealanders, they are after all out biggest immigrant community Number 5 Adam Goods points out he is aboriginal Adam goods knowing the historical context of what happens to footy players that point out they are aboriginal In 2013 Adam Goodes called out a Collingwood fan for calling him an ape. That fan was a 13-year-old girl. She was ejected from the MCG for the racist remark. Goodes said he was "gutted". "To come to the boundary line and hear a 13-year-old girl call me an 'ape', and it's not the first time on a footy field that I've been referred to as a 'monkey' or an 'ape', it was shattering." But Eddie McGuire came to the girl's defence saying that he had spoken to the girl, who "didn't even know that it was racist". Which of course makes all the difference in the world. Number 3 Literally all of commercial free to air television If you look through a list of Australian produced TV shows A strange pattern starts to emerge I wonder if you can tell what it is No I don’t see it Number 3 Hay Hay Its more black face Number 2, are Australian bus drivers racists? No, yes, yes, maybe.
