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.
No projecting is coming from me at all. I treat people according to how they treat me. In fact, the last time an Asian person insulted me, it was when he was out with his friends at an eatery. He was leering at my daughter (who was not yet of age to consent). His friends joined in on the noisy "Mmm, mmm, mmm" nodding away as they stared at my daughter. Not that I would condemn all Indians for his (and his friends) actions. But, I spoke up and was insulted for speaking up.
I read your posts in the context that the Indian guy was justified in his actions because he was, allegedly, suffering the psychological affects of the British giving his grand parents an inferiority complex when the British ruled India.

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...
Do you want to laugh at my insincere idea that I should claim compensation for being part of the descendants who worked as low-paid labourers and farmers in England and Wales in the 18th century? The basic idea of my previous post was to point out that I am not suffering the psychological affects of being a descendant of people who worked as tavern keeprs and farmers, etc. I should not be entitled to being compensated for previous problems that my ancestors endured.
As such, you have consented to saying that you would laugh at indigenous Australians who think that they are owed a living for what their ancestors endured.
