When this kind of effect happens to a certain group or population, it could have harmful consequences towards their identity. It is because indigenous Australians economic status, sex, race and ethnicity area affected by the change and became the target for racist comments and ruined their “identity”, in fact, they did not have to face situations like this (racism) prior to the Assimilation Policy, putting them at a higher risk for developing mental problems, that greatly affect the total well being of an individual, tribe or culture (AIHIN 2013). Racism, one out of five Australians experience it everyday (All together now 2014). And it has brought varying effects to people in Australia, especially the Indigenous Australians.

Is Australia a racist country? Many believe that Australia is a racist country, but what is the true definition of ‘racism’? Dictionaries have a common definition which is “the belief that people of different races have different qualities and abilities, and that some races are inherently superior or inferior”. Racism is a sensitive subject, where language plays an important role and even though some people in Australia are racist that doesn’t mean that the whole country should be labelled as racist.

In reporting hostilities between the Indigenous and white settlers, referring to the natives as “pitiless barbarians” clearly shows reporter’s bias towards the settlers. Furthermore, by noting that “[the white settlers] requesting to know [the Aboriginals] motive for the barbarous assault, was answered by a flight of spears,” it depicts the settlers as non violent and civilized in juxtaposition towards the violent savage Aboriginals. Social problems like these are treated in such a way that they leave viewers with the impression that they are caused by something innate within Aboriginal people, rather than by colonial impositions. This systematic misrepresentation indeed influenced the dominant culture in Australia to view Indigenous peoples in a negative light, and was a major cause of the racism and discrimination experienced daily by Aboriginal people across the
