Perth Influencer Slams Store for Racial Profiling Over Cleaning Sponges!
A social media personality from Perth has criticized a local discount retailer, alleging that their employees have engaged in racial profiling against her.
On Saturday, Fallon Gregory, a proud representative of the Kija/Bardi and Nyul-Nyul tribes, publicly criticized a specific store to her 26,000 Instagram followers.
In her post, Fallon asserted that she was falsely accused of shoplifting when she and a companion dropped by the store together.
She claims she was accused of attempting to steal a packet of cleaning sponges.
Ending my week on a bittersweet note, I encountered an unfortunate incident of racial profiling while purchasing a three-pack of Scrub Daddies en route home. It’s disheartening to experience such bias in today’s world, even over something as seemingly innocuous as a cleaning product.
Continuing, Fallon said that her experience was evidence that Australia is a two-tiered society.
As a committed follower, I would encourage anyone to shop where they please; however, it’s important to note that if you belong to a certain group (like us), there are unique sets of rules that apply to our lives, and this place seems to follow those same guidelines.
Rounding out the post, Fallon said that she was shocked by the alleged accusations.
‘A member of a legal team and a Trinity student,’ she wrote.
‘What in some lil busted $5 and under store would we be [sic] need to steal?’
The vocal social media personality has been encouraging Australians to refrain from sharing photos depicting Australia Day festivities on social platforms, for reasons they should consider.
‘It shows support and lack of sensitivity,’ she told news.com.au.
The mother of two proposed that Australians demonstrate their solidarity with the Aboriginal community by disseminating information on social media explaining why Australia Day should not be celebrated on that particular date, and by participating in “Invasion Day” protests.
If you truly want to demonstrate your solidarity and backing, attending marches and rallies to boost attendance, sharing and broadcasting live from these events is crucial, according to her.
For quite some time, Fallon has been championing the idea of shifting the date with the aim of establishing a national day that embraces all Australian citizens.
As a lifestyle and cultural advocate, I’ve noticed an increasing wave of change in recent years, particularly surrounding the annual calendar event that falls on January 26. This day, often referred to as ‘Invasion Day’ by supporters, has become a focal point for protests across the nation, rallying thousands to voice their support for a shift in our national calendar.
Fallon expressed that she’s deeply committed to instructing Australians on the importance of being considerate and aware of Aboriginal culture, yet finds it exhausting.
She shared with STM her journey, discussing both the positive and challenging aspects of being a Native woman, as it’s something she has often talked about.
As a fervent enthusiast, I recognized the power within my voice and the support of my audience. It was clear to me that I must harness this influence to shed light on such important issues, capturing the attention and sparking awareness among us all.
To put it in my own words as a devoted admirer, I’m finding it exhausting to consistently remind folks each year about the reasons why we should refrain from celebrating Australia Day.
The activist and influential figure mentioned that certain individuals have suggested she should either feel appreciative or move past a particular situation.
She stated, “It’s deeply disregarding of our standpoint and our perspectives, especially considering our history with colonialism, to make such remarks.
It’s ethically wrong to commemorate a day that doesn’t honor the diversity of all Australians and label it as Australia Day.
Australia Day, celebrated on the day when British ships hoisted the Union Jack in Sydney Cove, historically known as Warrane to the Indigenous Australians who fished and inhabited it, continues to be a contentious topic for both younger and older communities.
