Racism
Challenge #4 Activity 4

Australia is taking a huge stand on racism. Over 40% of Australian students have at least one parent that comes from a different country. 89% of children between the ages of 13 and 17 have experienced racism. That was a very interesting statistic. I feel that is way too high a number. A couple of the things Australia has done to fight against racism are, creating a program called “What You Say Matters”. This program encourages kids to stand up against racism. Another thing they have done, is the Australian human rights group put out ads with sports figures to help educate people about racism and how wrong it is. Maybe America should follow Australia’s lead, and educate our country about the importance of fighting against racism.
