[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 175984"] Bravo to the admins for the anti-racism stance. Some thoughts on the aborigines at the moment: Lots of poverty and low social status which is secondary to their previous treatment. unfortunately as they have partially taken a western lifestyle in some parts they have joined the lower socail classes and there are many aboriginal communities with significant poverty related problems including alcohol/drug abuse and neglect of children. Unfortunately when this does happen it gets seen in the press and reinforces the anti-aborigine messages many Aussies have been taught from a young age. Part of the problem of all racism is that it takes a long time to grow out of a culture. Older generations may have had racist views drilled into them and this is unlikely to change. All that can be done is to minimise the effects of this and to prevent those views being taken on by younger generations. [/QUOTE]
