Filmed at the launch of 'Growing Up Asian in Australia', acclaimed Melbourne author Alice Pung criticizes the notion of 'model minorities' and takes a dig at Australia's national hero.
Asian Australia wil inevitably contribute to our folklore. It's just a matter of time. We are a very young country . Ned Kelly's story and folkloric position is complex. The Bulliten stood for race predudice no more than the vast majority of publications at the time. Aparthied, Segregation, that is how the world was. Australia is a living multi cultural experiment, and the greater percentage of people from white European backgrounds are content to be part of it. This was disapointing.
We love you Alice! Represent!
