Video of racist tirade sparks campaign to combat discrimination against Aboriginal Australians

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-12-16/racist-mildura-tirade-video-sparks-aboriginal-campaign/118038...

trespassing onto someone elses property to cause damage then launching into a speech on who can and cant be an aborginal?

i wonder who they vote for, hmmm?

Yeah 'n have seen and experienced it happening the other way around   ......

Do people take a DNA test to determine if they are considered to be "Aboriginal" or not?  The photo of Mr. Knight and Mr. Perry is a bit shadowed, but I thought that Aboriginal people would look more like someone from India?

after 200+ years of being poorly treated i think the aboriginals still have a long way to go to catch up with us white folk on the bad treatment on racial grounds.

i'm so glad i was born to white parents where i was when i was.

i cant imagine what is must be like to be brown skinned in a country run by predominately white folk.

not all whites are racist and not all aborginals are criminals

but plenty of white folk think aborginals are dirty criminals

and plenty of aboriginals think all whites are (when push comes to shove) racist. (i suspect)

if someone wants to say they are aborginal its no skin off my nose, as long as they are good people it makes no difference to me.

i sure wouldnt be going onto their property to try to remove a flag or tell them they cant be aborginal because i said so.

i presume both these white worriors of truth will be suffering for a long time for their actions.

she might as well close her travel shop and he may as well be at centrelink monday morning standing with the dole bludgers and aboriginals he despises asking for a handout.

i know he didnt say anything about the unemployed but with his attitude to aborginals i can only imagine his views of those collecting the dole.

Thank you, Ima.  Interesting link and a good answer to my question.  

It would appear that you can't determine the heritage of a person just by looking at them.  That being the case, a couple of more questions occur to me. Are the benefits offered to those who consider themselves to be Aboriginal great enough to encourage false claims... and... isn't it a bit difficult to discriminate against someone because of a heritage that isn't visible to the naked eye?

Pair of peanuts.
They will have their supporters but both have now lost their businesses due to sheer stupidity.
Serves them right.
My sister has dark skin and was constantly harassed as being an Aboriginal.
A recent Ancestry DNA test showed that we are part Congolese.
There's many people I avoid because they are racists.
One of my ex girlfriends brothers is a racist moron.
He was asked for a cigarette by an Aboriginal in Adelaide casino nearly thirty years ago and he still goes on about as if they killed his family and stole his farm.

I have no idea what benefits are available to those claiming Aboriginal heritage.

But on every Government form that has tio be filled out, the question is always asked -

"Are you Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander?"

Maybe  YouTube might help

I think the amount available is much the same regardless of the claimant's ethnicity, it's how and through which agency it is paid that varies.

i put the 'you dont look aborginal' idiots in the same boat as the 'you dont look sick' people
