"Speaking to an assembled audience about aboriginal scholarships to Shoalhaven High School, John Dyball, former deputy principal at the School, said that the scholarships were not based on academic results or sporting ability, but on "resilience" - "someone who is willing to test the edges of their capacity".

LEGO,

Here's something about White Privilege as it applies
to Australia:

Thank you, Foxy, I love picking apart the logic of leftist propaganda, the sort of propaganda that seems to have influenced you to despise your own people and your own culture. Of course, I was subject to the same nonsense when I was a young lefty, but I was smart enough to see right through it. I was working class, so peer group pressure from academia never affected me.

I could just pick apart the logic of the whole article, but that would take too long.

So let's try pure logic. Hitler blamed the problems of the people of Germany on the Jews, didn't he? And that is definitely racism, right? OK then, if you and your lefty friends blame the endemic problems of dysfunctional minorities on the white race, then you are doing what the Nazi Party did. You are committing an act of racism. If you can't see that, then you are not looking very hard.

The charge of "white privilege" is racism. It presupposes that white society is doing something insidious to dysfunctional minorities that prevents them from getting ahead. And as I have pointed out previously, it is not only racism, it is a charge that does not seem to affect Asians, who do better in white society than whites.

Lefties like your good self have convinced themselves that all races are equal. But the problem with that unproven theory and child like act of faith, is that quite self evidently, in a competitive society, most of the members of certain races and ethnicities always inhabit the lowest class, and never cease being a problem. "White privilege" was dreamed up by lefties to do two things.

First. To explain why their belief that all races are equal never pans out in everyday reality.

Second. To suck up to the dysfunctional minorities who's numbers keep rising through immigration and birth rate differentials, to get their votes.

This is fuelling racial hatred against the white race, Foxy, which I presume is your own race. And it is also destroying your own civilisation, the one you live in.

My privilege is gained by:

Being smart,
Working hard,
working long hours
Being frugal,

My kids are privileged because:

They value their education,
They work hard at school,
They have a father who helps them with problems.

Everyone else is privileged to have them as compatriots as they will:
Pay taxes that support others,
Not be dependent on the state.

Shadow Minister,

What makes you think that you're the only one with
those values? Many other Australians share these values
(and much more) as well
but because they are "different" they have to do so
from a lower base than you and their progress in this
country has not been the same as yours.

Look at the demographics. The previous cited
link tells us that - Very few older Australians
beyond their 50s are of non-European descent and this
demographic feature is now hard-baked into politics
and policy debate.

It is nothing less than embarrasing that in Modern
day Australia, almost all senior roles in government
and business are held by middle-aged white men who
have grown up and prospered at a time when Australia
was etnically homogenous. They grew up to trust and
work collaboratively with those " just like us."

These men never had to compete in a wider pool and
continue to behave to restrict competition in
order to maintain their privilege. Many mediocre white
men have been excused from competing as a result.

Australia's reputation for fairness will be eroded in the
eyes of future generations. Young, educated, liberal, urban,
white Australians just may object to the discriminatory
practices going unchecked and call for tougher
actions by government.

The true extent of Australia's "fair go" mantra will not
depend so much on the transmission of older values and
symbols to newer more diverse Australians, rather it
depends fundamentally on their experiences in education
and employment being free of white privilege.

This will determine whether they truly believe there is
a level playing field.
