Abstract
Ethnocentrism and orientalism have been part of the landscape of the Australian press since its inception, so in some ways anti-Arab and anti-Muslim racism has always gone with the territory. Since the early days of the White Australia Policy in 1908, the masthead of the Sydney magazine Bulletin bore the motto: "Australia for the White Man" until it was removed in 1961. Arabs were not white, though some struggled strategically to accumulate the measures of this whiteness (Monsour, 2002; Hage, 1998.)
