OHPI discusses the use of Social Media to expose racism with SBS News

OHPI’s CEO, Dr Andre Oboler, discussed the use of social media to exposes racism with SBS News. This discussion takes place in response to a racist incident on bus, which was videoed through the use of a smart phone and later released online. In the UK similar racist events on public transports have led to arrests, as have racists tweets resulting from such incidents. Social media can be a powerful tool to spread messages against hate, but the message need to be crafted so it not only presents the racist incident, but also promotes the idea that such behaviour is wrong and unacceptable. Dr Oboler explained how this can be done to SBS news.
