Although the survey is questioned based and most people don't believe they are racist, there is still plenty of material here to prove what we already know. The only problem with a survey such as this is that it places people into pressures for answers that they know are not percieved to be politically correct - many will not own up to admitting racism towards Indigenous people; "I'm not prejudiced against Aboriginal people, but ... "
The survey reveals that nearly half of Australians are freely admitting to be racist is some way, albeit more open racism towards Muslems than Aboriginals within the survey period - The few Australian media reporters that have picked up the story have been reading the survey with their usual prejudiced blinkers - All is fairly OK, apparently!
The findings that 28% of Australians would be concerned if a relative were to marry an Indigenous person should send shivers down the spines of everyone, but no where near enough people will even know anything about these survey results ... and as for our 'leaders' ...
Challenging Racism: The Anti-Racism Research Project
THE FULL REPORT: University of Western Sydney
The survey of more than 12 thousand people is believed to be one of the largest ever. The 12-year study found some level of racist feelings against the indigenous people, as well as noted that half of Australians hold anti-Muslim views. Kevin Dunn, is a geographer at the University of Western Sydney and lead researcher in the challenging racism project. He spoke with 2SER's John Gibb.

Kevin Dunn Researcher - interviewed on 2SER mp3 fileAbout one-in-ten Australians have very problematic views on diversity and on ethnic difference. They believe that some races are naturally inferior or superior, and they believe in the need to keep groups separated. These separatists and supremacists are a destructive minority.

Racism in Australia
Most of them(over 80%) agreed to being prejudiced against other cultures yet they believe all races of people are equal? Wtf most of this doesn't make any sense. And a lot of them on other blogs and sites think racism doesn't exist in Australia yet they openly use offensive terms like wogs and curry munchers. They are an angry,confused bunch that's for sure.
