Take a second and look at the people around you: we are all so different.

There are tall and short people. Some people are poor, while the others are rich. We are born with various gradations in skin, eyes and hair color. Nevertheless, we are all born equal. Unfortunately, discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity continues to exist in various forms. Racism has a long history and an Australian drama, “Rabbit-Proof Fence” directed by Phillip Noyce, reflects the issue of cultural racism and discrimination, demonstrating the inhuman policy of colonizers towards the Australian Aboriginals.This film depicts a true story of three half-castes girls (mixed race of Aboriginal and European), who were forced to leave their home in order to be grown up and get education in Western society, which was considered to be more civilized (Bullimore). Back in the year of 1931, on the order of “devil” Chief Protector of Aborigines A.O Neville, under the Aborigine Act, displaced these three girls and forced them to enter the Moore River Native Settlement in Western Virginia. However, in an attempt to find their way back home to Jigalong, Molly, Gracie and Daisy ran away from the settlement to travel by foot following the longest fence in the world (Bullimore).There are a great number of obvious and subtle traces of racism, discrimination and ethnocentrism, which are depicted through the contrast between the whites and the Aboriginals. It goes without saying that there is internal tension in the film, which is emphasized by the portrayal of two opposing groups of people- White men and the Aboriginals (Hassanian). It is clear that these two groups of people have different values and lifestyles. The whites have everything they need for the comfortable life. White men have horses and cars to get to any place quickly and comfortably. The Aboriginals have to walk with bare foot. Moreover, they need to have a “permission to buy some new shoes” (Rabbit-Proof Fence). It is necessary to highlight that the whites establish their superiority over the aboriginals, controlling and rationalizing their daily life necessities (Hassanian). However, the greatest contrast between these two groups is the way they are dressed up. Mr. Neville and his men wear clean clothes, while the children and women are dressed in dirty torn rags. Another example of this contrast is the language in which these two races speak (Hassanian). Mr. Neville and his men are courteous, have good manners, and act punctually. At the same time the Aboriginals speak in broken English and they do not have any life plans, living their simple lives. Finally, the highest point of such a contrast was the events that gradually developed when Molly, Gracie and Daisy were brought to the Moore River Native Settlement (Hassanian). The girls were washed clean, groomed, given new clothing in order to fit a new western world. Moreover, they got a number of rules what they should do and what they are forbidden to do. It is important to note that this is a bright example how the Westerners tried to establish their superiority by imposing …
