Do you understand that the white conquest of Australia is probably the reason you are a healthy human being walking the earth in a happy existence Stratos?

Regardless of whether this is true or not (it's completely unprovable) are you seriously saying that makes it OK to slaughter thousands and thousands of indigenous people?

I know this for sure- if you were not safe and snug in Australian society eating your 3 squares you'd have a totally different view. You view is born from comfort.

Personally I couldn't have total disrespect for a system that keeps me alive. If I thought like you I'd go live out in the bush and turn my back on it all. Think about it. Starve yourself for a week and then re-evaluate.

As long as you acknowledge it happened and it is a tragedy. I don't hate white Australia, but you have to recognise it was a horrible thing to happen to the aborigines.

It is. But it's a biological event that's happened countless times that has benefited you.

Both retailers of the product, Adli and Big W, and thousands of bloggers agree that it is rascist.

Click here.

Quote:

A second supermarket giant has ditched a line of Australia Day T-shirts with an identical slogan to the "inflammatory" and "culturally insensitive" shirts Aldi has agreed to abandon.

Big W has confirmed that it has taken two styles of shirts with the words "Australia Est. 1788" off their racks this morning.

A spokeswoman said the department store would not be commenting further on its decision to ditch the shirts and that the reason for the move should be obvious.

"We've removed the shirts from sale this morning," she said.

Another example of the vocal minority dictating terms to the majority!

Or another example of racism nipped in the bud. The irony is that you cannot see it while almost everyone else can.
