You spent some time making posts condemning me for not taking Boris to task about his supposed racism. You claim that it implied that I agreed with Boris. I would like to turn the tables on you to say that you are much the same, but in regards to needing to defend minorities at just about every turn.
I made posts to provoke you into making your personal position clear, to make you to recognise where you sat on the question - where you disliked Indigenous people or you liked them. You finally declared yourself, unlike many here who hedge around it, rather than admit themselves because they are cowards. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Your posts are very provocative. Your posts are also demotivational. The number of times you want to defend indigenous people every time someone makes a criticism about an indigenous-related issue is enough to wonder if you really care about people who are non-indigenous.
Seems you are projecting, there, Unsub. Unless I say something, I think you can understand that I hold a negative view about it. I do not dislike White people, I do not dislike Indigenous people/Muslims/Asians/Migrants, unless they personally attack me. In all my years I think I've encountered one bad Asian person, in a carpark at Dickson, ACT, when he turned around and insulted me for no reason. Perhaps he had a bad day but it was nothing to do with me.
Quote:I spent much of my day interacting with people of varying backgrounds. I did not have a problem with any of them. The problem I have with racial discrimination is when it is applied at any time. And compensating racial background for historical injustices that happened to other people is just another reason why I hold my views the way I do. It is not like I can pick out WW2, or how my ancestors from 150 years ago were low-income earning farmers in England and Wales that were not treated fairly by the landholders, as a reason to justify a "what about me?" need for compensation.
Claim it, if you like, I'll join with the majority of other people and laugh at you. Does that make you feel better? I have an ancestor who was transported for being a Highway Man and he was thankful for it because it gave him a new start in a new country. I have other ancestors who were Irish poor people who decided they liked the new country they ended up and stayed here. I generally get on well with most people when I first meet them, white, black, brown or purple skinned. I dislike Racists, I dislike Xenophobes, I hate Tories. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
