Students of Color in Australia

Posted on February 28, 2020

Abstract

Australia is generally accepting of people of various cultures and ethnicities. Students of color should be aware that Australia is over 92% white. You may experience stares simply because people are not used to seeing many people of color. Australia has a history rooted in colonialism, and this has had a lasting impact on the experiences of indigenous people of color.
