Introduction In the modern Australian society, we believe that we are living in a society where racial discrimination is no longer practiced. However, recent studies show that our Australian society is still characterised by racial slurs that pose a serious threat to our national cohesion. According to Javen, Juad and Nazli (2012), it has been proven in many parts of the world, from the United States to South Africa, that racial discrimination has no benefit to the perpetrators and the victims. To the perpetrator, this may bring short-term satisfaction, especially when the intention was meant to make the victim feel inferior. However, such racial slurs cause a deeply-rooted scar on both parties that limits their trust towards each other. It creates hatred and a desire to engage in a physical duel as a way of fighting for the rights of the oppressed. In our Australian society, new pejorative words are finding their way into our spoken language, sometimes without our knowledge. When this occurs, it becomes almost impossible to have a united community where trust and love reigns over other divisive practices. It is on this background that I decided to conduct a research on the problem of racial slurs directed at indigenous Australians. In this section, I present a reflection of myself and my proposal based on an interview I had with a local social worker regarding my proposed research. My Ability to Draw My Participant’s Opinion I interviewed Mr. John Smith, a social worker in the local community of North Melbourne. Mr. Smith was an engineer at one of the leading telecommunication firms in the city of Melbourne for over ten years before he decided to quit his job. He opted to serve the community in fighting for the rights of the minorities. He did not engage in the activities of the civil rights groups, but was keen on listening to the plights of the minorities and finding a way of helping them in a non-political approach. He was a native Australian and had experienced the wrath of discrimination as he climbed the corporate ladder to become one of the most celebrated engineers in the city. He was, therefore, in the best position to offer guidance to this research and propose ways in which it would be successful in identifying factors fuelling racial discrimination and how this problem can be addressed. His opinions were very important. I had to find a way of drawing my participant’s opinion about this study. Within the first few minutes of our interaction, I noticed that Mr. Smith was emotional towards the issue racial discrimination. The way he explained his personal experiences as a student and junior engineer at various firms within this city showed that he went through discrimination that hurt him in many ways. In order to draw his opinion, I had to identify with him. I had to find a way of making him feel that I share in his pain and belief that our Australian society should find a way of overcoming racial practices, including racial slurs. However, there was a big challenge I had to overcome. I belong to the White majority, the population that had been accused of instigating racial practices in the society (Hargreaves & Fullan, 2012). Before him, I
