Since when did being racist and bigoted not be something to be ashamed of.

so many strangers talk to me and then say some bigoted point , that they probably heard on Australian mainstream tv, maybe it's my age , maybe I look "Aussie"

I always correct in a way that shows I understand the issue they are discussing, just adding there are other facts ( I don't want to argue, I want to change a racist to a non racist )

mainstream tv did not used to be like this, they might have been anti-union and anti-labour party bastards but they never used to openly use immigration/race/culture as if it was a bad thing

    Media realised they get clicks and money when they "discuss" issues like this. When a company does something gross, it's because of money ultimately.

    And the uneducated get caught up in it, because it gives them someone to point their fingers at and blame, "migrants are stealing our jobs", "illegal immigration!" (No such thing. There's people who come here "illegally" but then they wouldn't migrants), "the woke left are giving jobs to gasp non-white people, race traitors!" Etc etc so on and so forth. It helps them not have to interrogate their own life choices, or see how the education system let them slip through the cracks. Because in reality, it isn't migrants or the left wing hurting them, it's their own parties they support. But they're so caught up in the blame game, it's easier to blame something tangible (like a demographic) over something intangible (like a company).
