The national identity of Australians has been one of the controversial issues in the region. Fair go, camaraderie, egalitarianism, multiculturalism are national identities commonly accepted by Australians. Nevertheless, since the arrival of the British in 1788, Anglo-Saxon heritage has inevitably led to the development of “Britishness” and “whiteness” as one of the fundamental national identities of Australians. This essay will focus on how Australian national identities of "whiteness" and other identities have been constructed by silencing and exploiting non-white "Other" stories politically, economically and culturally. Examples will be given to support the point of view of this essay. “Whiteness” is one of the fundamental and crucial national identities of Australians. The construction of “whiteness” as an identity is seemingly linked to Australia’s colonial history. Robinson (2004) suggests that “whiteness is not a fundamental categorical object nor an object of social construction. Instead, the concept “white” refers to nothing other than skin color. It is the indigenous “other” who is at the center of racialization and its effects. (page 145) His statement implies that Aboriginal people are the main silenced and discriminated against community in Australian society. There is a prevailing belief among Australians that "White represents the norm, the natural order of things or the self while non-White represents the Other who may threaten, degrade, pollute or contaminate the White race" ( Kamp, 2008, pp. 413). ). Who is considered “white” is primarily determined by sharing common interests and culture with the British colonizers. The British invasion of Australia in 1788 already symbolized the beginning of non-white histories in the middle of paper. .....y, economically and culturally, Australian identities have developed on the basis of the silencing of non-whites.
