I think I can probably accept Muslim women wearing a hijab (headscarf)
If they wish to show others they identify as Muslim;

The hijab isn't too offensive to me, so whatever
Preferably non-black though;
- But only because Muslims in black look like they're affiliated with IS

Dressing in a black sheet with a facial covering and a letterbox slot for the eyes is a bit much though...

No wonder they're identified as looking like terrorists
You're not wearing a suicide vest under there are you love?

If I see a Muslim in a headscarf I'm like:

Ok sign of the times, whatever, smile and be friendly and polite

If I see one dressed in a black sheet with an eye slot I'm thinking:

What on earth are you doing here?
You're not like us;
You don't fit in.

We don't respect extreme religious beliefs here, we make fun of them.

Racists writing about Australia's past wrongs due to a lot of ignorance but accepting the benefits are not the answer either !

Individual.

The startling omission from the guardian article re your link, is the complete omission of convict labour.
It was actually built on slave labour which wasn't inclusive of aboriginals.

Actually, how lucky were aboriginals to be excluded from the real horror story, which was abuse of whites not blacks.

Hi Individual,

To the Guardian, values means food, and dance, and clothes, and special holidays. That's it. Not beliefs, ideology, religion, that sort of thing. So it's the sort of paper that kids be able to might read.

Yesterday, in court the criminal with long term mental health issues faced another charge
He was captured on surveillance assaulting two other women
No mention was made as to the race or faith of that two victims
This case is first and foremost against a criminal maybe too racist
