HAWTHORN star Chad Wingard has revealed the toll of the daily discrimination he faces as a First Nations Australian.

Speaking with AFL.com.au's Damien Barrett, Wingard shared a story of visiting a car dealership only to be ignored by the staff.

Despite no other customers being at the dealership when Wingard arrived, none of the three staff members approached Wingard to offer assistance.

"I wanted to see how long it would take," Wingard said.

"I sat there for an hour without getting acknowledged. There were five people [who arrived afterwards] that got served before me ... I got to the car and I broke down."

Wingard said it was a regular occurrence. 

"Jake Neade and I have gone to shops before... and they straight away asked us to empty our pockets like we were trying to steal something," he said.

"This is the stuff that happens everyday that you don't see... Nothing's going to change if people think this is acceptable."
