A lttle off track if you do not mind.
I saw a reference to a US politician as being of colour because he was
black.
I then realised that is a nonsense. If he is black he is not of colour.
Most of us Australians are of colour, myself I am a light cream colour
and those women I mentioned are a definite white colour.
Black is an absence of all colour.

So it is a bit like the unreality of what is a woman, what is colour ?
Oh well Paul & co can have fun with this at my expense, but that is the idea.

Hi Bazz,

The American reference to a person "of colour" is a common
expression for someone who's not white. It refers to African
Americans - and has been around for ages. Not a big deal over there.

Plus - when a person is referred to as being "white"
it also doesn't mean that they're white. Only that they are
light-skinned.

"We're guests in their home."

Are we?
Maybe,
- Maybe some are and some aren't?

That's how you think Foxy because you think of yourself as an immigrant, and have many stories from your family in Russia and Lithuania.
You see yourself as a guest, because you also see yourself as an immigrant, that's the reality of your identity through family history and stories handed down to you.

But that's you.

Well, my Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather Angus I've traced back to about 1814, but the records from those days become obscure and I couldn't figure any more to try to figure out how my family actually got here.
There may or may not be one more generation, as I can't remember if the records for my Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather Angus was a record of birth or marriage.
In any case I don't see myself as an immigrant, should I?

Just because you identify as an immigrant doesn't mean everyone else does.
And what about my grandfather who married a part indigenous woman, after WWII ended?
Am I permitted to identify or be recognised as being indigenous, despite being white?
I have all the indigenous stories from my grandmothers extensive family in a book, and that goes back to the early 1800's as well.
I can read the stories about what happened to them and understand a small part of where I came from, but I'm sure there's many more stories from many more people that probably came from many different places, in such an extensive Australian family history.

You seem to think everything is simple and clear cut.
- That it's the same for everyone as you think it is for you
Am I right or am I wrong?

Maybe you're a guest in MY home then?
Do you have any indigenous in your Aussie family history?
If you met me you'd think I'm white European, but I don't identify as that.
How many other people might you be wrong about?
How does it work exactly?

[Cont]
In order to consider myself a 'Guest' wouldn't I firstly have to be able to identify as 'immigrant'?
How can I identify as an immigrant if I have no idea how my family even got here?
- Apparently, the stories are that my distant relative was sent here as a convict for stealing a sheep.
But I couldn't seem to find my family name in any of the manifests for the first three fleets, so I'm just not exactly sure.

Things aren't as simple as you think they are, and I bet there's hundreds of thousands of other 'white' people with indigenous connections in their family tree getting around just like me.

... Just sayin

In a Democratic State a constitution should not isolate a distinct genetic trait, otherwise it is not upholding one person equals one vote. It gives preference to a race who has the listening ear of Government to enforce their agenda.

The aboriginals of the past never believed they owned the land; they saw themselves as part of the land. It is only recently that the likes of left wing woke have been pushing the concept of ownership. The woke ABC lovers who hate Australia and are willing to sell it out from those who have built this country - they call out the white supremist.
