An Indigenous woman talked about the explicit and implicit racism she faces as someone perceived not to look and act like a “typical” Aboriginal woman (despite the diversity among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people). The show explored listeners’ experiences of sexual fetishisation and prejudice in relationships, as well as what it’s like being partned with people from minority backgrounds.Ī few minority background callers described feeling reduced to only one facet of their identity due to sexual racism. Last week, I was interviewed on Triple J radio for the program, The Hook Up.
