What race theorists discuss as whiteness, or how White people perpetuate racism: "I’ve become less interested in the notion of being White"
"So I think of myself just as a person." White people, especially in AUS where we rarely address race, distance themselves from racism
"The majority of Australians as they search for a way of being neither Black nor White but of sharing a common humanity." Only WP think this
Race theorists & commentators who are AUS #POC show how White AUS have little understanding of racism here but are shocked by USA examples
As a sociologist of colour for example, I'm asked by White people (academics, media) to comment on racism in discussions led by White ppl...
... and those same White people jump into a discussion about racism without a definition of its structural basis & broader social context...
...so that means conversation I'm brought into starts with presumption that racism is just "some bad apples" excusing White society as whole
When moderators/speakers ask #POC to comment on racism, they do so without thinking that they should consider their place in race & racism
This shows how entire discussion on race and racism is framed through Whiteness; it's not meant to disrupt social order for White AUS.
