On 7 th July 7, 2021 I took a stroll through Boronia Park, Epping (Sydney, Australia) and asked eight people from different backgrounds about Racial Bias. Everyone was asked the same questions and were fully aware that they were a part of this social experiment. The questions asked included their name, age, how long they had lived in Australia, and whether or not they had ever been a victim of any kind of racial bias or witnessed anything of the sort. Some claimed to never have witnessed any such bias in their entire life while others claimed that it was all around them. However there were some who weren’t exactly sure what exactly the term Racial Bias even meant. Mun is a 40 year old man with Malaysian and Chinese ancestry but is a proud born Australian. When asked about experiencing bias he told us that he has felt it his whole life. People do not believe him when he says that he is Australian because of the way he looks, but when he speaks to them with the complete Australian accent and perfect English they are more often than not, stunned. He feels that his looks have set a certain precedent for him. He lets it slip by but he generally finds it annoying. Vivek is a 35 year old man who has lived in Australia for 13 years on and off. He claims never to have been a victim of any form of racial bias. When asked about witnessing any situations he said that he never saw anything out of the ordinary. He elaborated and went on to tell us that racial bias is such a common thing these days that even when it occurs its completely normalized so people do not even think twice about it anymore. And that fact is irrespective whether he is in India or in Australia. Each race is as racist as the other. If you are not identified as a local you will be biased against. He also believes that the Asian community in Australia is being subjected to generalization and is specifically being targeted due to the sudden rise of coved in the last two years. Nay is a Japanese woman who first came to Australia when she was 28 years old. One of her first memories of living in Australia was the time she was on her way back home from work on the bus and an old white man tried conversing with her. She was not completely fluent at the time and he spoke very fast. When she was unable to respond the man made fun of her and began slowly enunciating his words and asked the famous question “Do you speak English?”. Nay understood that she was being mocked and pretended not to understand it because she was a fresh immigrant who did not want any trouble. Pratyush is a 32 year old man who has lived in Australia for 3 years. He told us the story of one of his first times at the local bar where he approached a man and asked him for a lighter. The man looked at him apprehensively as if he should not have dared to ask for a lighter and threatened to knock him out if he didn’t leave. Sofia is 65 year old Korean Grandmother who is dependent on her daughter. She has lived in Australia for 5 years and originally came here to look after her grandchildren. Initially she did not know what I meant by “Racial Bias”, but then her granddaughter Melly stepped in and explained it to her as “other people being mean to you because you are Korean”. Melly is only 5 years old. Since the she and her brother are biracial they look predominantly white and more often than not when Sofia is with them in public, people automatically assume she is a nanny and make fun of her when her grandchildren translate English sentences to Korean to help her in her day to day life. “It is very derogatory but I will do anything for my family. Steven is 52 year old Australian. He is now retired and loves travelling to South East Asian Countries. He has visited Malaysia, Thailand, and India multiple times and agrees that they are all wonderful countries with wonderful people. But the wonderful people is a front they put up to extract money. As soon has he turns around they have made comments about him in their native language that later a tour guide translates for him. He feels that the judgment we give and receive from people based off of their looks is the most unnecessary and hurtful thing he has ever experienced. So far we have seen the stories of 6 out of 8 people that were interviewed. The reason only 8 people were counted in this experiment was that out of 15 only 8 were clear on the concept of racial bias and the others didn’t know what it was or whether or not they had faced it. 5 more were not willing to talk about it. Whether it be the Australian Education system or any other countries’, its sad to see people still unaware of the concept itself. Anybody can be a victim. As per this experiment, the conclusion is that 6 out of 8 people have faced this in their life. Irrespective of their race. 7 out of 15 people do not know what it means and 5 out of 20 refuse to talk or acknowledge it. And that my friends, is the sad state of affairs of this world.
