• Episode #38 Are Australians racist? With social researcher Neer Korn

  Tami and Dash sit down with social researcher and author Neer Korn to explore the big question: Is Australia actually racist? From synagogue attacks to very public displays of anti-Zionism, Jewish Australians are feeling less safe since October 7. Neer explains why that fear - while understandable - might not reflect the full story. They cover antisemitism, institutional racism and why your average Aussie doesn’t think much about Jews at all.Articles relevant to this episode: https://thejewishindependent.com.au/are-australians-racist-ive-been-trying-to-bait-them-for-yearshttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/australias-last-antisemitism-crisis-was-differenthttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/survey-shows-protests-are-hurting-the-palestinian-causeSubscribe to The Jewish Independent's bi-weekly newsletter: jewishindependent.com.auTami and Dash on Instagram: tami_sussman_writer_celebrant and dashiel_and_pascoeX: TJI_auYouTube: thejewishindependentAUFacebook: TheJewishIndependentAUInstagram: thejewishindependentLinkedIn: the-jewish-independent
