No one is comparing Aussies to terrorists. The cartoon is show how some people are hypocrites, they complain about refugees arriving here illegally on boats when there is a good chance that's what their ancestors did.
The boat was put as a reply to my post by itself with no comment so it was directed at me.
We came here in 1969 and neither myself,mum,dad or my OH and her family have had anything to do with what happened in any shape or form,(so as I said,everyone is clumped together regardless which I find offensive and unfair)
The British turned up took over without asking permission. Australia was colonialised not settled. No one is personally blaming you, me or anyone else for what the ""settlers" did
I used to have Aboriginal friends and in the 80's that all changed when they started accusing me my family and others for taking over their country,(so yes,I have been personally blamed in the past).
Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islanders want the acknowledgement of what happened in our history. Acknowledgement of what happened is not an admission of guilt. That is not racism
The government has acknowledged what happened in the past,(so what else has to be acknowledged?)
On side note, sick of seeing the words offensive or offend. Everyone seems to be offended nowadays.
Now we can't be offended by what others say or do?
