Can't help noticing your a nice middle class white boy.....
So many first world problems to deal with...but that's alright you have mummy and daddies money to fall back on if things get tough.
they might even find you a nice safe seat. mores the pity that we don't have a house of lords that you could stump up to for the rest of your days.

The post above was an exercise in stereotyping, I'm sure the author was troubled by it. After all it was just a bit of fun.

Thank you to the author for another excellent article.

I notice that one poster has already done his/her best to prove what the author has said. There will be more along no doubt.

The term "Invasion Day" and another "Survival Day" have been around longer that Adam Goodes - both are in common use by Aboriginal people and are heartfelt, not throw away lines.
Race is an issue alongside the common denigating terms used for Muslim people in this country most of whom are good law abiding citizens.
Quite simply unless you have walked in another man's shoes you will never understand his travails.

What a shame! So privileged, so young, yet so blinkered, perhaps even bigoted. Same sort of blinkeredness and self-righteousness of Andrew Bolt, but the cleverness of Alan Jones.

It is an artifice of dis-ingenuity. Might get H2A in a Law subject though, depending on the lecturer.

Remember how Charlie Teo got publicly reprimanded, from high and low, for saying in his Australia Day address that racism is still alive? In short, a Chinaman should know his place, never mind what an outstanding citizen he might otherwise be.

You see, the Chinese became tolerated aliens after Federation in 1901, an imposition from the Imperial Empire dictated by its international interests. (Otherwise the Chinese would have been deported en masse like the kanakas.) A century on the remains of that mentality - those unwanted but tolerated aliens - still shimmers from time to time. Metamorphosed with the tide of time of course.

The Chinese in Australia are okay now,provided that they know their place, as they provide fountains of money (and professional expertise, thanks to our immigration policy that harvests those with brains and money) to keep our economy boiling.

We have moved on! Most successful multicultural society in the world! Yet old habits die hard. We have found other undesirables for public vilification, not too dissimilar from what our forbears did in days now past when Aboriginal peoples were killed for "revenge, convenience and sport". Descendants of some of the dynastic families in rural Queensland have been known to gently allude to the habits of their founding forbears.

Mostly agree with Chek, and can only add that not all racially motivated denigration appears on the sporting field, but sometimes in print, as evidenced by this "carefully nuanced" article!?
Rhrosty.
