Well Valkie.
Having a 'different' way of existence, doesn't make one superior or inferior.
Just because the Yellow people of Asia formed up the most established concept of the 'city' (hence 'Citi-Zen') and feel most secure in them.
While Brown people of the Middle-East formed the concept of 'Temples' as the prime achiever of these.
Because Black Africans preferred to remain as 'Farmers' and basically kept a 'Garden of Africa' sustained.
Because the Green South Americans formulated 'Military Warfare' into a ceremonial act of entertainment (and culling).
etc.
etc.
Everyone is different.
Hence why the hapless Colonialists who came to Australia couldn't believe that the entire landscape of Sydney was 'manicured' as a 'Park-land' to easily provide sustainable living.
Ever notice Yellow Asians find it hard to live outside a 'City'?
The Western Europeans focused their empowerment on Speech and with it came 'Politics'.
So to dispel Aboriginals or Koori or Coons as uncivilised, is unfair, considering many 'civilised' people couldn't survive 2 days in the wild.
Africans are creating a 'Tree Wall' north of West Africa to help stop the spread of the Sahara. With 80% of Australia deforested, I don't see us doing something so 'common sense'.
Each to their own.
As for 'sticks & stones'?
Well Coon is a justified word in the Aboriginal vocab.
Coonamble and other towns with 'Coon' in it.
Just like the countries of Niger and Nigeria were the basis of the world <N_.igg..er> (which is blotted from this Forum's vocab).
Just like Khaffers were from Khaffaria where 'Caffeine' was a popular export.
Then you have Nips from Nippon
and Aussie from Australia.
But how dare you call me the 'derogatory' Aussie.
It's how you throw the word at the other person.
Any word can be an insult or a compliment.
