    someone needs to be a bit more careful with their humour.

    What can I do?
    If you have experienced or witnessed racial discrimination in social media, there are different actions you can take. As a useful tip, before you take any step, make sure you record the discriminatory content, as you might need to present this as proof when you report it.

    Report it to the social media service provider
    You can report the content to the social media service provider, which can put down the publication or suspend the person from using its services.

    Take your case to a federal or state court
    Any matter related to racism can be reported to the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) or other state anti-discrimination bodies. You can click here for more information about how to make a complaint to the AHCR or to a state body.

    After you have done that, in some cases it might be possible for you to take your case to court. As court procedures can be complicated and vary greatly from state to state, we recommend that if you wish to seek redress through the court system, you first seek advice from your nearest Community Legal Centre and/or Legal Aid to get further assistance on how and to whom you should make a complaint.
