When is Racism not racism.

I've seen this ad a few times now. I don't think the ad gets its point across. How is it discrimination against just indigenous is a stretch? Just cause the person feel like they've been discriminated because they're indigenous doesn't make it so. You can look suspecious with your hands tucked into your sleeve regardless of your race. Plus that woman frankly just look white to me. And some women simply prefer not to sit next to man on a bus. The last guy just look mediteranian to me even though the only bit related to the indigenous is the "ab0" joke. 

I get the point they're trying to make on the ad but it just ends up mocking the indigeous for being cry babies. I don't like this ad.

They can access extra services that are just for indigenous but that is to ensure their health and that they feel welcomed, comfortable and will spread the word throughout their community that it is a culturally safe place for them. Which is the main aim.

Any other extras I do not know about but assume that it is only for their well being and they do need that extra care.

It all seems so easy to me ... judge a person based on how you find them ... accept them for what they are ... treat them like you would like to be treated ... (how many here remember Mrsdoasyouwouldbedoneby?)

We all bleed red.  We all hurt if insulted on the basis of race or other irrelevant issues.  We all really want the same things out of life ... peace, education, food, housing, health care ...

Absolutely agree

Get down off the cross and use the timber to build a bridge my relatives were persecuted by the British for hundreds of years , the British them selfs were persecuted by the Romans , if the things you talk about happened directly to you then I am all for supporting the individuals involved, if they didn't then you are no different than the rest of us

I assume it's for their well being as well as many of them have a severe drinking/drug/anger management prob and dont seem to want to do anything about it to help themselves.

I would have stood beside you with the breastplate on and spear/rifle in hand back then.

This is now and there is not just one heritage with many.
