in these so called modern times of Australian media it is in my opinion not
the overt racism we need to worry about (Although it is a problem) it is
more the sneaky covert insinuating racism that is prevelant in Australian
media whilst australians are drummed with these hidden meanings by the media
the overt racism will still occur
to get to the bottom of the problem covert racism must be dealt with.
