Why are AUSTRALIANS so god dang RACIST
G'Day. I think the idea of racism is really built into our culture more than a lot of others, specifically because of the colonisation stuff & the fact that there is a commodity of information directed at Indigenous Australians & there are too many of us that aren't willing to speak up about it.
I took a required subject last semester @ Uni that talked all about this stuff, & it was really amazing to be in a room of people all willing to speak up about this kind of thing.
I was even in a call with a friend while studying for it, & I don't remember the specifics, but I mentioned something like "I probably wouldn't choose to do this subject, to me it's boring & not helpful for my career path, but it's interesting nonetheless."
& he responded with something like "It's pretty stupid you have to take it, no one cares about them Abbos [sic] anyway."
& I was just gobsmacked...
But yeah, it's pretty wild here, I can't dispute it, but like, those of us that aren't racist notice it too, so ur not alone.
