You are doing it again, throwing the racist tag around.

Some Aboriginals burn the aussie flag, you call them australians ?

Some Aussies burned the Aussie flag so you want to what? deport them? kill them off? what exactly?

No, not Freeman, what I thought she did was good.

FYI, an Aboriginal flag hangs near where I sit up in the NT so I get plenty of exposure to it.

I thought the black had a different meaning to blood.

All I know is if I went to live in China and had a child there, that would not make me, nor the child Chinese.

 

And if that child stayed in China and had several generations of descendants, when can they consider themselves Chinese?

 

Am I supposed to consider myself something other than Australian after my family has been here for 200 years?

 

I don't consider myself any more or less Australian than a person whose family arrived 20 years ago or 20,000 years ago.

All due respect, but what a sublimely stupid thing to say.

 

If this is what you beleive I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there are many (billions) people who have a mixture of blood -

 

So if my mother was Swedish and my father a New Zealander, what be I be considered according to your 100% theory ??

 

 

Note to say fully expecting some smartash names LOL

Now that is my point - how much of a percentage of blood do you need to be considered a particular race? 100% 50% 25% ?

No -  I am a citizen and consider myself Australian, but I know I am not as I was not born here to Australian parents.

If your ancestors are all from the first English Austrlians (as in the convicts first sent out here, with no other blood lines etc) then I guess you qualify. Kind Of

Well Done

Good for you, I never suggested you should.

A damn sight more than some who claim to be have in them !

 

And I am particularly talking about "Aboriginies".

Australian is a nationality, not a race.

Now I am going to show my ignorance...........

 

What is the difference ? Seriously, not being a SA, what is the difference between a race and a nationality?

 

Does that mean soemone of a 'race' does not have a country?
