Pauline Hanson’s One Nation (PHON) has reaped just over 20 per cent of the vote in Saturday’s South Australian State Election, proving racism is alive and well in the State.

    Given how shitty humanity has historically been, I would be happily surprised if any large population isn’t at least 20% racist. It’s more a matter of how loud the racists think they can be without getting in trouble.

      20% is way too low. Plenty of people aren’t outwardly racist, but they’re racist.

        And on top of that, many people have racist tendencies they aren’t even aware of.

          IMO unknowingly holding a bigoted opinion applies to everyone but that doesn’t make you a bad person in itself. Failing to correct those beliefs when challenged is what makes you a bad person.
