Luke Fagan:

I do not have much more to say. The answer to the Senator's question is educating one another on different topics. It is the exchange of information and dialogue. It comes back to education and Sienna Keane went to that in response to the previous question. Culturally insensitive remarks about food or hair are microggressions, which is still racism. The quicker teachers or others would recognise that it is the better and by educating them, that could be a solution to that problem.
