How Racism Still Prevails in Developed Countries

One in-depth case study

A while back, my husband and I while watching daily news on Youtube came across this video titled ‘Cash Cows: Australian universities making billions out of international students’ by Four Corners. It picked our interest, and so we started watching the video.

Five minutes into the video, and we were shocked at their findings and remarks which were distasteful and demeaning to a specific Indian community.

The video shows universities are taking international students to cash in on the revenue deficit that they are facing since the last few years. Funding cuts have put pressure on the universities to cut costs and increase income streams.

There are several flawed arguments in the video, and it raises some serious concerns with the direction, messaging and intent of the video.

It is racially provocative and is created in quite a distaste for the Indian student community.
