Iβve often heard it asked, βIs Australia a racist country?β only for the question to be railroaded by a series of semantics: βWhat does that even mean?β; βHow can a country have a collective mindset?β; and βYou canβt confer a universal attitude onto a population of 24 million, surely?β
Politicians and commentators tell us there are such things as Australian values. The same quibbling arguments about whether Australia is collectively racist apply to so-called national values.
