      Is it ? Australia hold a référendum this year to give a bit more rights to native people. They voted against it.

          You can use the wording you want, Australia is a racist country that shows no respect to the native people.

            I’ll take solace in knowing we will never be as racist as Europeans. Because we’re a proud multicultural country and you’re the lot who keep toying with nationalism and genocide.

            You would never hear anyone in Australia mutter the vile hate they spew towards Romani. And their treatment of refugees is so bad, that they make us look good in comparison.

            At the end of the day, outside of say NZ/Canada you will not find a less racist country.

            So cry all you want.

              He, it is not a contest. I never say Europe was less racist than other country/area. Just I don’t hide by using some words to softening the reality.

              I don’t try to move away the initial discussion : we don’t care if it is true or not that native people where considered as fauna. The point was native people are considered as second class people, that do not deserve respect, unfortunately.

                That’s not softening reality.

                The recently failed referendum gave zero rights to Aboriginal people. That was never the intention, because they already have the same rights.

                The Voice is one part of the healing process, to misframe it as something else only helps the people who voted against it.

                You’re obviously not equipped enough to understand the situation.
