Dr. Hunt says “Reverse racism is not a thing.”
So, we know that “reverse racism” is not real, yeah? (thanks Aamer) Here’s another explanation courtesy of Dr. Hunt, who is using the “innovative approach to bridging the gap between academia and society” by explaining Critical Race Theory through memes. Too easy and pretty good, huh? Increase your racial literacy and check out Ask Dr. Hunt here and on Facebook.

The thing I call Everyday Racism Jabs
The thing I call Everyday Racism Jabs #Racism #EverydamRacism
This is just a glimpse of my everyday life as an Asian Australian:
Day 1 As I walked along the train’s platform, a guy walks past and says “Wo Ai Ni”.
Jab translation: It’s Chinese and translates to “I love you”. I have a Vietnamese background and I’m not Chinese.
Day Two A new acquaintance asks me “Where are you from?” I replied with Sydney and she follows up with “No, no… where are you really…

This week in racism, actually more like on Monday 18th of September, news about racism overwhelms social media and the news:

Dating As An Indigenous Woman
Dating As An Indigenous Woman by @Ebswearspink #NAIDOCweek
I honestly thought today’s foray into the blogosphere would be about Invasion Day, the date that we as a nation “celebrate” the Invasion of our traditional lands and the subsequent massacres, attempted genocide, racism and all that loveliness that is supposed to fill us with patriotism.
I guess I will get to that in another post and will fill it with a whole host of links because quite frankly,…

“Exotic” is Not a Compliment
The othering experience: “Exotic” is Not a Compliment by @the_amenaz
I cannot begin to tell you the countless times I’ve been told I’m exotic by numerous people, at various occasions: friends at university, festival-goers, conference delegates, teachers at school, retail assistants, doctors and even fellow commuters of public transport systems. Apparently, I’m not beautiful by mainstream beauty standards; I belong to the foreign, exotic variety.

Vietnamese ‘Boat People’ who arrived to Australia by plane
Both of my parents are considered boat people. They escaped the war in Vietnam and sought refuge in Australia. Thanks to them, I am allowed to say that I’m an Australian-born artist contributing to society. Still I want to challenge something: why is it that we fear the arrival of immigrants? Oops, let me rephrase: why are Australians so…
