I think overall these posts have raised awareness to the fact that the struggle to combat racism is still well and truly alive.” “Some of my gay friends were particularly astounded and told me that they've not received any form of abuse like that in their entire lives. Some of them couldn't believe that I, who am light-skinned and consequently privileged in that regard, receive racial abuse at all,” he says. When Mangatjay started public-shaming people on his Facebook page, he started to receive the kind of traction he’d hoped for. In my experience, people need to be taught from a young age that racism isn't acceptable.” I remember when I moved to Darwin and students in my class, who were barely 13 years old, were making offensive racial remarks about Aboriginal people. “I’d like to say surprises me in this day and age that so many negative stereotypes exist regarding Aboriginal people, but it's something I've grown up with. Mangatjay says that he gets called anything online from a ‘petrol s******’, to ‘filthy’ or a “wog a** c***’, as he is also part Greek. I've also noticed that the people who say these things are usually white men, and while I think it's perfectly acceptable to be more attracted to people of a certain racial background, voicing your preferences using offensive language is not.” “The line ‘no rice or spice’ is a common quote on people’s profile description and I'm regularly calling people out on Grindr for promoting these comments.

Like many young gay men, he has been using dating apps like Grindr since its inception. He moved to Darwin when he was a teenager and currently lives in Adelaide. Mangatjay grew up on Milingimbi, situated in North East Arnhem Land. It's disappointing, as you might think that an oppressed group would help lift other marginalised people, yet here we are beating each other down." “When in reality that's not necessarily the case. “From my experience people that are looking from the outside see the gay community as one ‘big happy family’,” he says.
