walk out, go around and ring the same place and say

applying for the position I see you have

advertised”; ”0h yes, do come in”. Then you walk
back and confront them. Now they have to offer you
a job. Either that or you start suing for
discrimination (Michael Anderson,in Tatz,1975:18-19).

Housing, employment, ordinary socialising - all are situations
structured for'rejection.

The handicapped (including, and especially, the Aborigines) are
to be encouraged to internalize the goals of society, but the means
of reaching these are denied.

Discrimination against minority groups does not appear to be
a factor allowed for in Berger’s scheme. His typology allows for

-⅝
choice, not rejection.

The identity offered to Aboriginal people is perceived by them
in negative terms.

The research findings of the present study have shown that this is
consonant with contemporary typifications of Aborigines by non-Aborigines
in the school situation.

Nevertheless, the typification of the Aboriginal self in the
research findings was positive.

The research results have shown that interaction for the self
has not taken place with the negative typifications of the peer group
in schools, and the negative typifications of the wider society.

Negative typifications were internalised for Aborigines in general,
but not for the self.

It is posited that, in the multiple ’worlds’ offering identity,
students have interacted with the positive theorizing of the schools,
and the positive theorizing of Aboriginal adults; the latter, in
turn,was seen as the result of interaction with positive theorizing
of governments since the early seventies.
