sorry sorry , I confess my error.

"Like the Christian Brothers, more than 20 per cent of Marist Brothers and Salesians of Don Bosco have been the subject of child sex abuse claims to the Catholic Church in Australia.

For the St John of God Brothers, it is 40 per cent."

The clergy may not have advocated child abuse, however
the cover-ups, the protections of abusive clergy, and
the refusal to admit egregious mistakes are unjustifiable.
The sexual abuse of children is horrendous and intolerable
and the failure of the churches to deal with it effectively
has done immeasurable damage to victims.

Roughly 14% of the First Fleet personnel were black, from Africa, America, and Jamacia, so, "....Picking at the scraps of non-European elements does not change the overall result.
The 99.99999999% of the early settlers who were European...."

I do suggest that you read up on the First Fleet.

"Most of their "descendents" are probably mixed so much, they look like regular Aussies, or have blended into the "indigenous" mob.
Neither probably made any significant contribution. They were criminals, remember."

Why put descendants in inverted commas?

Obviously you didn't bother to read the link that I gave, otherwise you might have noted that John Randall got a lot of mentions in the records of the day and,

"John was in the Corps [Rum Corps] during the only two dramatic events that occured during it's existence. They were the convict insurrection at "Vinegar Hill" (5/3/1804) and the coup that removed Bligh ("Rum Rebellion", 26/1/1808). Analysis of the records of the Corps suggest that John was stationed at the Sydney Barracks. The "pay sheets" for the Corps are held by the Mitchel Library in Sydney. They record that John received an allowance for playing in the Corps Band for at least a year (1806).

In WWII the US jailed its Japs as security risks but few Germans .
.001 Germans mostly not US citizens and a few Germ-US citizens were jailed.
.6 Japanese not US citizens and .4 Jap-US citizens were jailed in west USA ( or 1000 times the rate ).

But US war deaths from Germans were 106,000 - 130,000. War deaths from Japanese were 57,000.( half the amount).

Japanese in US army won many medals in WWII and have joined the Yank race which appears on the surface like the human race.

Dear nicknamenick,

Here's a link providing information on internment-camps
in Australia:

Nicknicknick,

Maybe I'm wrong but I think there was not one Japanese-American act of sabotage during the War, whereas there were plenty perpetrated by Germans. Japanese men volunteered for armed service and formed at least one battalion which stormed Monte Cassino, and maybe other units as well.

I think quite a few German and other 'alien' citizens were interned during the War in the US. My step-grandfather, a Hungarian Jew, was interned out here, I think at Hay, along with many other 'aliens'. He'd scrimped and saved for a block of land but lost it. Many Jewish 'aliens' (i.e. citizens of - refugees from - 'alien' fascist countries, were sent up to the NT to help build the Stuart Highway.

By the way, the term 'creole', used by some fool above, originally meant 'native-born' in the colonies'. 'Of the soil'. 'Criollo' in Spanish. The aristocratic family of San Martin, the liberator of southern South America, was 'criollo': their family colours were pale blue and white, i.e. those adopted for the Argentine flag. So 'creole' didn't necessarily mean Black, or mixed-race: but being the term used for people who were lower on the Spanish/French colonial totem poles than the Home-country-born, once those native-born whites took power, the term was probably adopted by the people who were lower still.

Cheers,

Joe
