It is clear as day that Bruce Pascoe is a fake.
Genealogists have done his family tree and have found no Aboriginal ancestry. He isn't the only one. There is a federal Labor MP who when pressed has no answer. It was just what he was "told".
In the case of Bruce Pascoe, too many elite people, especially at the University of Melbourne, would have egg on their face of they had to admit they got it wrong. But they did, the family history has been conducted.
Love the video below where Bruce Pascoe was confronted on SBS Insight about his claims!
Bolt: Why does Australia protect race fakes like Bruce Pascoe?
Canada has cancelled celebrated “Cherokee” author Thomas King after exposing him as a racial fraud, while Australia continues protecting Bruce Pascoe despite similar allegations. Why do our cultural elites have such little respect for the truth?

Take Bruce Pascoe, author of the bestseller Dark Emu.
Pascoe first publicly claimed he was Aboriginal some time after a Canberra Times reviewer in 1988 said his novel Fox, imagining an Aboriginal hero, would have been better had Pascoe been Aboriginal, too.
Soon he was, to immense success. Pascoe won a NSW Premier’s award for best Indigenous author. He was fawned over by writers’ festivals and our ABC, which also promoted him in videos for children.
His Dark Emu was even taught in schools, despite citing bogus sources to claim hunter-gathering Aboriginals were actually farmers. Melbourne University even bought into this nonsense by hiring Pascoe as its Enterprise Professor of Indigenous Agriculture. Governments gave him grants to grow Aboriginal crops.
Yet for years I’ve shown that Pascoe is a fake Aboriginal spruiking fake history.
He kept changing his story about his supposed Aboriginal ancestors – first, they were on his mother’s side, then on his father’s – and to this day refuses to give any proof.
Professional genealogists from the darkemuexposed.org website have since confirmed his ancestry is 100 per cent British, and Pascoe even admitted on SBS that “many” of his own family didn’t accept they were Aboriginals.
So why do so many institutions still cover for him?
The ABC still promotes Pascoe as a Yuin, Bunurong and Tasmanian Aboriginal man, as did Books & Publishing, the biggest journal in our publishing industry, just this week. The Nine newspapers also don’t admit he’s just a white guy, and nor does Melbourne University.
This refusal to confront race fakes is typical in Australia, unlike Canada.
I’ve publicly identified two Labor politicians and seven prominent academics who claim to be Aboriginal, but have no Aboriginal ancestors in their genealogy, as confirmed by darkemuexposed.org’s genealogists. None would prove to us they were Aboriginal, yet none were publicly disowned by their party or their university.
No NSW premier has even demanded Pascoe return his premier’s prize for best Aboriginal writer.
Why do our cultural elites have such little respect for the truth? Shouldn’t Canada’s example shame them?
