Yeah it's a shocking problem in Australia.

most of the pro-indigenous stuff exaggerates their poor treatment and segregates them as a unique or special class instead of treating them like regular people and not making race the major focus of societal issues. Also the majority of those that claim to indigenous are whiter than most albinos you’ve met but want special treatment or benefits and to avoid the guilt based propaganda by being a “victim”

@@chaoz675 Personally I find it hard to say that their poor treatment is exaggerated when people came and were settled in their homeland, encroaching on their very existence.

@@chaoz675 maybe less aboriginal people would be light-skinned if the government hadnt forcefully assimilated aboriginal people into white families and colonies? or if colonisers and the government itself hadnt actively tried to ‘breed out’ dark-skinned people? food for thought! the push to equate one’s indigenous identity to their skin tone or ‘blood quantum’, aka. percentage of ‘white’ vs. ‘indigenous’ heritage, originates from efforts to effectively stamp out and eliminate aboriginal culture and communities. that’s how you end up with situations like in lutriwita/tasmania, where the myth that the palawa (aboriginal tasmanian) people were completely and entirely eliminated is constantly being spread. legally, mixed race aboriginal people over there weren’t considered aboriginal, allowing the government to be able to claim that there simply were no more aboriginal tasmanians, despite that being untrue. the cultural practices and knowledge of the palawa people was and is still being passed down and kept alive, and in the late 20th century was legally recognised again. this situation applies similarly to many aboriginal countries across australia, especially southeastern areas where colonisation efforts were more concentrated. i’m sorry for the wall of text, but this is an important topic and i feel like your comment was kind of disregarding an important part of australian history

Being American.

​@@KittyMeow1984 Actually being American is great. Except for having to deal with all those god damn Americans.

Being British - or more broadly a coloniser, which brings the French back into the mix

Being french

In the history of Australian colonialism, were they not villains?
