IMO either you're very very lucky or you're kind of blinkered and kidding yourself. Even at the ABC, hardly a workplace where you'd intuitively expect the kind

IMO either you're very very lucky or you're kind of blinkered and kidding yourself. Even at the ABC, hardly a workplace where you'd intuitively expect the kind of behavior I'm referring to, it's rampant https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-63699881 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-63699881 Another famous example would be AFL - the racism on display not just in the stands but within the teams and the AFL org itself, would be unimaginable in any other country. Imagine if fans, teammates, coaches etc abused black NFL players the way black AFL players get abused. It would not be tolerated, and it would never happen, it's completely unimaginable. These are not cherry picked examples, they're just two manifestations of the massive problem. But Australia and Australians get a pass because "it's Australia". It's not flattering to be unable to realize and admit maybe your country has some work to do. (it's not an attack on you personally)
