I think anyone who lives in Australia (whether you migrate or are born here) needs to be educated that racism is unacceptable, regardless of colour, sex, religion etc. It needs to come from the top down...and sadly while J-ho bumbles around swinging the lead baton of power, nothing will change.
But if change were to happen, everyone would need to come to the party. Attempting to educate the yobbos and not the gangs wouldn't achieve much; a broader aspect of the community would need to be involved, from parents to religious leaders to journalists etc.
But is change on this scale possible, or is it purely a Utopian vision not viable in today's political climate?
