Boaz, I / we know your religions, your customs and traditions, we speak and write English better than most, I'm educated in both worlds, I ignore most white rednecks because they just bore me to tears, I've lost my inheritance that my parents tried to provide me (land, stolen wages, large parts my extended kin) but still you want us to absorb? How many whitefellas speak an Aboriginal language? (there were at least 350 here)

Are you sure you're not confusing this with asking as to be white?

You know this is not possible but still you hold the bar up high as if we actually want to jump over it and you have the right to order us to jump?

We didn't die out and you guys didn't go home, but we're the ones who have to absorb?

Puleeze!
