Australia

Okay so you spent some time in some communities experience a small part of a culture, and latched onto the first thing someone told you?

It is in contention and continues to be in contention because it still leaves a mark on the lives of Aboriginal peoples in Australia today. The majority of which might I add live in cities, not remote outback communities. And these things do hold meaning for them, and they are exactly their lived reality. Why don't you go listen to their voices when they say they want the date changed, when they say they want a treaty, when they say they their words? Why do you subject them all to the opinion of a person living out woop woop? Do you think they are less 'authentic' or less worthy of listening to?

Aboriginal people live the same lives the rest of us do, they own houses, raise families, go to school, go to work, follow the Gregorian calendar, and so on and so forth. And they have said time and time again that they want the date changed. But you know what's best for them?

And no, you downvoted this image long before I started commenting and calling out the racists. Many of which are the same names I've called out previously or seen them subtly express their racist views before and now exactly why they downvoted.
