RE: The Australian Stolen Generations.
Thank you for this thought provoking response. I spent a few months working in a outback hotel in western Australia. To be honest I was quite shocked, I felt like I had gone back in time. It is completely racist lifestyle, the 1st nation people are put at a disadvantage, living in a way thats Not their choice. Whilst rich white men can plunder the earth resources for gold and taunt the people not like them.
Thanks for the welcome and the info!
We're from the UK originally, so we had a similar culture shock. One Aussie I met described fitting in as needing to be inappropriately racist. It was tongue in cheek, but it does seem rather accurate. The urban areas are a bit better though so one would hope that we are slowly evolving.
Hmm...one of the richest people in Australia at the moment is mining magnate Gina Rinehart.
