Australia today is a culturally diverse nation with people from over 190 different countries claiming 300 different ancestries. But despite an official commitment to diversity, contemporary Australian society continues to experience tensions between multicultural policies and a legacy of Anglo privilege and cultural dominance. To assess this, the Challenging Racism Project conducted a national survey, commissioned by the Special Broadcasting Service, to gauge the nature and extent of racist attitudes and experience of racism across Australia during July–August 2015 and November 2015. Results show that sociodemographic characteristics show little contemporary relationship to racist attitudes. Age, once associated with “old” racist attitudes, is no longer significant. On the other hand, Anglo privilege is empirically linked to racism through notions of social dominance. We conclude that it is to the media, and to public discourse generally, to which future research attention, using critical discourse analysis, should turn in efforts to make Australia a fairer, more tolerant, multicultural society.

种族主义态度，外来群体和澳大利亚经验

今天的澳大利亚是一个文化多元的国家，来自190多个国家的人们拥有300多种不同的祖先。但是，尽管官方对多样性做出了承诺，但当代澳大利亚社会仍然在多元文化政策与盎格鲁特权和文化统治遗产之间经历着紧张关系。为了对此进行评估，具有挑战性的种族主义项目由特别广播服务公司委托进行了一项全国性调查，以评估2015年7月至8月和2015年11月整个澳大利亚的种族主义态度和种族主义态度的性质和程度。与种族主义态度的当代关系很少。曾经与“旧的”种族主义态度相关联的年龄不再重要。另一方面，盎格鲁特权通过社会支配地位从经验上与种族主义联系在一起。我们得出的结论是，对于未来的研究，使用批判性话语分析，应该是对媒体和一般公众话语的努力，以使澳大利亚成为一个更加公平，更加宽容的多元文化社会。
