Society/Culture SBS: Is Australia racist?

[Fire]

I'd have to say that is being a bit naive. NT three strikes laws just happen to target all the crimes most likely to involve young Aboriginal males. No three strikes on fraud or corporate shenanigans. In fact those guys get a law to have their activities removed from the public record in the case of some judgements.

A white person is subject to the same system. If more Aboriginals are committing these crimes then its a social/law and order issue. Its not a racial one. Its not racist to hold minorities to the same laws and punishments as everyone else. How reduculous for you to try and claim otherwise.

As for the corporate laws and punishments; well thats a legitimate issue which seems to be rampant in the westm but again its got no racial element to it. These people get away with it because they are in positions of economic and political power, not because they are white. Again rediculous.

Its a good sign for a society that someone has to fabricate systemic racism in order to make their case.

Is the justice system sexist because more men commit crimes than women?

It is a title meant to attract viewers. If they used a more neutral title and got fewer people watching, they'd be criticised for low TV ratings.

It's on SBS so no one is watching.
