WTF?
Why is it that those opposed to the voice are the ones that use the terms "race" "racist" and "racism" when referring to this topic? Indigenous Australians do not claim to be a different race they identify themselves as Indigenous. "Race" is only brought into the discussions by opponents of the voice and this says a lot about them and how they view Indigenous Australians. No wonder Indigenous Australians want a Voice in Parliament when many people appear to want to label them as a different "race". Posted by WTF? - Not Again, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 2:16:20 PM

Ethnosciencec recognises 4 different races: Caucasian, Mongoloid/Asian, Negroid, and Australoid, which most Australian aborigines belong to. Aborigines are definitely a different race from all others in Australia.

Once again the races topic rears its ugly head when
it comes to our Indigenous people. What is the genetic make-up of modern Britons we may well ask? Or of any ethnic group and their descendents currently living in Australia and elsewhere? Why just stick our Indigenous people with labels, and time after time continue to question their ancestry. Why not look to your own ancestry? It's a way of trying to demean people - and is extremely unfair and bigoted. But hey, our Indigenous people are used to this sort of BS.

The so-called purity of the British race?
When you look at the genetic make up of modern Britons you begin to realize what a mixed group they really are. They are one of the most invaded of nations. A variety of ethnic groups have settled on the British Isles. Celts, Picts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Norse, Normans, Liverpool has the oldest Black British community, dating back to at least17305 - during the African slave trade. The oldest Chinese community in Europe dates back to the arrival of Chinese seamen in the 19th century. Then we have the Jews and the Irish - the cockney dialect and since 1948 - West Indies - and so on. The complex social framework that is Britain has been created over the decades - and of course as Seinfeld would say- "There's nothing wrong with that!"

There is no such thing as a British 'race'. White Brits belong to the Caucasian race, just like white people of any nationality. British refers to nationality; and there are different races making up that nationality. Same here.

Everyone is equal, but one race is more equal than others?
Martin Luther King would turn in his grave:
“Judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.”
