You of all people should learn when to shut up about racism, for real...

Garden variety racism is bad enough, but calling for the shooting, murder and genocide of indigenous Australians is something else...

Not too extreme for Ozpolitic.com it seems mind you, but it is for any reasonable person.

Ok Mr Intellect.
Which Racism is the best?
Sydney Racism Puts Internationals above domestic patriotism which exhibits itself like the Housos of Mt Druitt and the Abos of Redfern: violence.
Or
Melbourne Racism which puts Domestics first and internationals (immigrants) as lesser, again Sudanese, etc: violence.

So which racism?

Well - 'land' previously gained by some group under the old Imperialist Colonisation process - where one tribe comes over the hill and vanquishes another and takes over the land and then claims it to be its - are gone.

The old days when a ship or a fleet could haul to off the Heads, send in a small boat, or a wandering group come over a hill fight the locals and drive them off, and claim the land are gone... and it is bizarre that all the criticism goes against White colonisation, when Black colonisation has gone on for thousands of years - and in a much less civilised way.

So how is it not racist to go after White colonisation and land usage, but not after Black colonisation and lack of land usage etc? Is it - like - something to do with what the Indian bloke said about Whites not being able to experience racism?

Is he packed off back home yet?

I reckon the time has come for a reckoning over all this.

When you discriminate against someone because of the colour of their skin or their racial identity, that is racism.

There is no such thing as “good racism”.

I know you will attempt to spin a policy designed to assist one group as being racist towards another (typically the group you identify with, since for many like you, the only thing you lean into more quickly than racism is victimhood), but if anything that behaviour reflects a lack of inclusion, and as someone who has used opposition to DEI to mask your prejudice, you cannot logically claim to support the “I” in DEI when you are the one seeking to be included on your own terms.

That would be hypocrisy. And those like you are certainly not known for that... /s

When you discriminate against someone because of the colour of their skin or their racial identity, that is racism.

Very simplistic. Dishonestly simplistic. Nobody is discriminated against by such a simple, singular marker. Nobody.

If you are dirty, loud, unkempt, uncouth, you will be discriminated against no mater how tinted or not you are. If you happen to be also dark-skinned, you will excuse yourself by shouting wacism.

Conversely, look at all the blonde and blue eyes Aborigines, grabbing all the benefits they can out of wacism.
