And this is how you lot react when someone writes a book.
Christ on a bike you're pathetic. It's an absolute pile-up of twisted zimmer frames in the race to the bottom.
Who taught aborigines to read and write? Red in claw wacistislamophobeopressivecolonialistevil whitey.
Just one of the many, many boons and blessings of civilisation. You know, the civilisation that Abo activist spend their lives repudiating and blaming for Abos being like wolves to each other.
That's what all the Zimmer frames are chucked at here and on other threads like this.
You do realise that the3 expectation that they preserve4 themselves in cultural amber so as to not be hypocrites for utilising modernity is the reasoning of a child, don't you?
And seriously, not a very bright one.
The expectation, as with immigrants, is to assimilate. Not to cultivate parallel societies.
I am not the one who is constantly bringing up their ancient superstitions as 'proof' of spiritual connection to 'cuntry'
I am not the one who constantly talks up 40 thousand years of stagnation as a special achievement.
I am not treating ragtag bands of primitive, stunted, naked hunter gatherers as "nations" with whom you can treaty as legal equals.
I am not the one blocking development because of water spirits and magic bees.
And I am not they one constantly demanding more and more compo for being brought out of the primitive Stone Age into the light of schools, medicine, showers, libraries, Toyotas and green slabs (VB). Nor am I the one who brutally mistreats his wife, neglects his children and is pissed by midday on western grog 9 but is told to blames it all on people thousands of km away in big cities.
No but you are the one endlessly spraying spittle on us all because everyone is not just like you.
And speaking of you and assimilation, you know we prosecuted nazism in WW2, right? You lost. Your ideas are not only odious in the extreme, they are traitorous to the country that you sought to make a life in.
In Australia, we don't take too kindly to people saying things like "slavery ended too soon". If you don;t believe me, go say it at happy hour in any pub in the land.
If, for a moment, you stopped spraying spittle about about different to you, you may start noticing ways in which you are alike with these people. The more attention you pay to that, the more the observations will multiply. It is possible that with practice, you might stop being such a miserable bastard.
And before you know it, you'll be a real live boy!
Look Fruitbat, it is indeed possible to be multicultural. The absolute best we can hope for is that our First Nations people are embraced by us as a country and that within both ethical and actual law, as much of their culture is preserved as much as possible.
If you cannot find within yourself the impetus to actually look for a single aspect of their culture that you find interesting or even admirable (who am i kidding), then you can think of it as purely academic. We have a unique opportunity to grow in understanding with the oldest contigunous population of people on the face of the earth. And we are here at a time when the sciences and humanities that seek to learn are better equipped to do so than ever before.
Indeed this is a remarkable opportunity.
And then there's you lot. Lost in you fart dust.
