“…Much of the empirical evidence from the national and Sydney data supports the findings of Pedersen and Walker (1997) about the interdependence of “old” and “new” racist thinking. Findings also support Seet and Paradies’ (2018) concern for the continuing role of “old” racist thinking among racist attitudes held by Australians.…”

“…Or as Hall (2000: 224; see also Leach, 2005) argues, old and new forms of racism are not mutually exclusive; there is a need for “an expanded conception of racism that acknowledges the way in which … biological racism and cultural differentiation are articulated and combine”. More recently, Seet and Paradies (2018) remind us of a risk of seeing “new” racism as supplanting the “old”, arguing a need to reconsider the significance of “old” racism in contemporary Australian society.…”

Australia today is a culturally diverse nation with people from over 190 different countries claiming 300 different ancestries. But despite an official commitment to diversity, contemporary Australian society continues to experience tensions between multicultural policies and a legacy of Anglo privilege and cultural dominance. To assess this, the Challenging Racism Project conducted a national survey, commissioned by the Special Broadcasting Service, to gauge the nature and extent of racist attitudes and experience of racism across Australia during July–August 2015 and November 2015. Results show that sociodemographic characteristics show little contemporary relationship to racist attitudes. Age, once associated with “old” racist attitudes, is no longer significant. On the other hand, Anglo privilege is empirically linked to racism through notions of social dominance. We conclude that it is to the media, and to public discourse generally, to which future research attention, using critical discourse analysis, should turn in efforts to make Australia a fairer, more tolerant, multicultural society.

“…Covert racism is harder to track and often manifests as ambiguity and paradox. For example, covert racism is found in both intolerance and “tolerance” of racial others (Chong, 1994); in negative and “positive” racial stereotypes; in the denial of White privilege; and in well‐meaning deficit discourses about Indigenous populations (Seet & Paradies, 2018). Such covert forms also appear within racial microaggressions (Sue et al., 2007).…”

Previous studies on the impacts of racism on adolescent development have largely overlooked Indigenous youth. We conducted a scoping review of the empirical literature on racism against Indigenous adolescents to determine the nature and scope of this research and to establish associations with developmental outcomes. Our literature search resulted in 32 studies with samples from the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Studies were limited to self‐reported experiences of racism and thus primarily focused on perceived discrimination. Quantitative studies found small to moderate effects of perceived discrimination on adolescent psychopathology and academic outcomes. Qualitative studies provided insight into structural forms of racism. We offer recommendations for future investigations into the impacts of overt and covert racism on Indigenous adolescents.

“…This silencing is enacted by ignoring or minimising the concerns of racism that have been raised. It can also take the form of denial, gaslighting, or punishing by way of workplace lateral violence such as bullying and even threat of or actual loss of employment [ 64 , 65 ]. White practitioners who actively work as anti-racists within health institutions are also frequently silenced by colleagues and employers for “betraying white solidarity” [ 66 ].…”

BlackLivesMatter in Healthcare: Racism and Implications for Health Inequity among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in Australia

Despite decades of evidence showing that institutional racism serve as significant barriers to accessible healthcare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, attempts to address this systemic problem still fall short. The social determinants of health are particularly poignant given the socio-political-economic history of invasion, colonisation, and subsequent entrenchment of racialised practices in the Australian healthcare landscape. Embedded within Euro-centric, bio-medical discourses, Western dominated healthcare processes can erase significant cultural and historical contexts and unwittingly reproduce unsafe practices. Put simply, if Black lives matter in healthcare, why do Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples die younger and experience ‘epidemic’ levels of chronic diseases as compared to white Australians? To answer this, we utilise critical race perspectives to theorise this gap and to de-center whiteness as the normalised position of ‘doing’ healthcare. We draw on our diverse knowledges through a decolonised approach to promote a theoretical discussion that we contend can inform alternative ways of knowing, being, and doing in healthcare practice in Australia.
