Links on feminism, race, and australia
I have seperated these out from the post on my panel since I think people might be interested in them seperately without having to wade through several pages of me blathering on :) Some of these are really good if you have any interest in these sorts of things.

Note: These have some very interesting discussions, but assume a certain level of understanding of anti-racist ideas etc (always read the userinfo very carefully!). The last two are designed as places for non-white people to discuss these issues, so if you're white do not join or comment without lurking for a LONG time, if at all.

Final note:
I have used the more common (though certainly not universal) term "non-white" rather than the more internationally recognised "POC" since this is aimed at australians.
Big thanks go to vegetus, firefly and stephiepenguin for giving me ideas and advice on these links and the post that spawned them, plus of course all the awesome creators of all the resources I've linked to.
