There are clearly many underlying assumptions/myths/ uninformed BS in your questions that would take me more than the wordage I have here to deconstruct and unpack just for your benefit.So I won't . Sorry.
I've addressed white privilidge and racism many times here in this discussion. If I didn't provide some historical context to these points I apologise.
But lets just start with one fundamental fact. We did not cede nor has it been declared that this nation was conquered. We have been gainfully fighting for a treaty for over 200 years.
Canada, New Zealand and the USA have all entered in treaties with its first nations people.
We are NOT immigrants. We are not 'ethnic' people. Is over 40 000 years enough time for us to declare ourselves 'the first ever Australians'?
I think it is. We have much in common with the Irish republicans for political and civils rights.
Being a "pom' I thought you would know something about the illegal occupation and invasion this continent. Apparently not.
Why not some basic research and then get back to me with modified questions. I know your intentions are good, but you really don't know what you don't know.
That said: here is one link to some basic reading:
