HeliX Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Just now, Anyone said: Maybe I’m stupid and you are super clever. I don't think either of those things is the case, but if you can't see the sense in the second half you might well be being a bit obtuse. Perhaps it'd be more clear if I rephrased it to the difference between "He's a Jew" and "He's Jewish". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really , I understand colored is a racist term but people of colour is not ( perhaps because they own it and say it). last sentence lost me I’m afraid unless you are saying the former phrase is racist and the latter not.

Is that maybe like saying for example, "she is @Anyone" rather than saying "she is anyone's" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s extremely wrong and positively nasty with that comment. From experience of Australia having visited on many occasions - realatives - and having visited or holidayed within many differing parts of Australia, I would say that the people I met were nice, friendly and very hard working. Yes it could be said that Colonialism could have caused some aspects of unpleasant behaviour and sadly negative views of the British. However, the U.K. has very little empire now, it’s voice on the international stage is diminishing. By all means use the past to shape the future, but let’s not keep dwelling, and using the past as a big stick in which to bash the U.K. and its Colonial past. Midnight Oil a good Australian band, no complaints there. Edited September 22, 2020 by 2112 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the stinking enigma Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Did they ever end up giving the land back to the natives? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Australia had a pretty strong 'White Australia' policy for 70 odd years, and while that ended in 1977 it raised it's head again under John Howards 'One Australia' politics. There are no doubt many who still subscribe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who or what was there before them ? How far back do you go to see what land was run by who or what. Maybe the Japs will eventually take over anyway, then what ?

TheTeapot Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 So the case that kicked this all off came to an end today (barring appeals) and the murdering cop has been sentenced to an astonishing 22.5 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
