Unfortunately for the Black and Asian communities, this hasn't been surprising as we've often faced such behaviour in the past, though usually on a lesser scale and less publicised by the media.

I’m trying to understand the above sentence structure.
Should I understand this way?: though usually on a lesser scale and usually on less publicised by the media
 
Should I understand it this way?: as "... though usually on a lesser scale and usually on less publicised by the media"?

No. "Though usually" goes before "on a lesser scale" and "less publicised by the media". It's not "though usually on" followed by two separate phrases.

The behaviour in question has, in the past, been on a lesser scale and has been less publicised by the media.
