Between July and August 2015, and in November 2016, the Challenging Racism Project team conducted an online survey to measure the extent and variation of racist attitudes and experiences in Australia. The survey comprised a sample of 6001 Australian residents, which was largely representative of the Australian population. The survey gauged Australians’ attitudes toward cultural diversity, intolerance of specific groups, immigration, perceptions of Anglo-Celtic cultural privilege, and belief in racialism, racial separatism and racial hierarchy. In this paper we report findings on respondents’ views on cultural diversity, nation and migration. The majority of Australians are pro-diversity. However, we also acknowledge conflicting findings such as strong support for assimilation and identification of ‘out groups’. The findings paint a complex picture of attitudes towards cultural diversity, nation and migration in Australia. The attitudes reflect contradictory political trends of celebrated diversity, triumphalist claims about freedom, alongside pro-assimilationist views and stoked Islamophobia. This is within the context of a stalled multicultural project that has not sufficiently challenged assimilationist assumptions and Anglo-privilege.

2015-16年澳大利亚人对文化多样性,民族与移民的看法

从2015年7月至2016年11月,到2016年11月,具有挑战性的种族主义项目团队进行了一项在线调查,以衡量澳大利亚种族主义态度和经历的程度和变化。该调查包括6001名澳大利亚居民的样本,这在很大程度上代表了澳大利亚人口。该调查评估了澳大利亚人对文化多样性,对特定群体的不容忍,移民,对盎格鲁-凯尔特文化特权的看法以及对种族主义,种族分裂主义和种族等级的信仰的态度。在本文中,我们报告了受访者对文化多样性,民族和移民的看法的发现。大多数澳大利亚人是赞成多样性的人。但是,我们也承认存在矛盾的发现,例如强烈支持同化和识别“外面的群体”。调查结果描绘了对澳大​​利亚文化多样性,民族和移民的态度的复杂图景。态度反映了著名多样性的矛盾政治趋势,胜利者对自由的主张,亲同化的观点和煽动的伊斯兰恐惧症。这是在一个停滞的多元文化项目的背景下进行的,该项目尚未充分挑战同化假设和盎格鲁特权。
