AUSTRALIAN VALUES This is an Australian values question — In the real test, every values question must be correct.
At a football match, a spectator shouts racially abusive comments at a player. How is this viewed in Australia?
- It is acceptable, as feelings run high during a close match
- It is unacceptable, as racism has no place at sporting events ✓
- It is acceptable, because the player is a public figure
- It is a matter only for the club to deal with quietly
Why this is the answer
Racial abuse shouted in public or at sport is exactly the sort of racism Australia rejects.
This question is from: Mutual respect and tolerance for others
