Different migrant groups will experience greater rates of racism depending on current policies & public discourses (incl media).

Aboriginal & Torrest Strait Islanders face at least 25% more racism than other minorities. That's just "individual-level" racism.

Structural racism is not measured by how much interpersonal racism individuals experience. It is about official policies & systemic barriers

Everyday racism is connection btw individual & structural racism. It's how routine patterns (e.g. speech, behaviour) reflect systemic racism

Learn about the differences of other local & national contexts when it comes to individual/structural/everyday racism.

Remember what you take for granted as normal about race is very different for other groups depending on place & their social position.

Agree! Main reason why I looked at racism and race in UK for dissertation was to get outside UScentric analysis of race and nation.

Ah, how interesting! UK very different race and racism patterns again. There's no comparable category in AUS to BME, for example.

AUS does use "NESB"/non English speaking background and "CALD"/culturally and linguistically diverse, but mostly these are policy terms.

And of course these are ethnicity-based not race-based.
