Stan Grant says he always dreamed of being a journalist. And last week he walked away from his dream after facing a systemic racism and vitriol thrown at him.
It's not a new thing. Adam Goodes and Yassmin Abdel-Magied have also experienced overwhelming hate, leading to the pair both stepping away from the spotlight.
In this episode of The Quicky, we take a look at what happened to Stan Grant, how his employer handled a wave of racist trolling and how every Australian is part of the problem...and can be part of the solution.
