The obvious question: Why would non-indigenous artists
purportedly "paint over" original works of Aboriginal artists?

Incidentally, this topic header using the racist term "abo" has
been allowed to stand, by moderators here. Why is that?

One of the forum's rules says "...politically correct language should be used when making criticism of racial policies or groups."

Is the term "abo" politically correct? Is it derogatory? Is it racist?

This is ANOTHER example of the piss-weak moderation that
fails to work as it should, due—apparently—to the laziness of
the site's various moderators.

Not good enough. Angry

Depends how you view it...... it's a chummy way of using a short word - like firie or ambo or cop... you know... could be chummy in a couple of ways...... just being friendly or calling the sharks ......

I don't believe that it's meant as a "chummy" term at all.
It's been used as an inherently derogatory, racist term for
as long as I can remember.

As in "those bloody abos" or "slack-arsed abo".

From Dictionary.com:

abo, noun, plural ab·os. —a contemptuous term
used to refer to an Australian Aboriginal person.

If Australians are Aussies, Polish are Poles, Americans are yanks, those who hail from Britain are Brits, from Switzerland are Swiss etc etc etc there is no reason Aborigines can't be Abos.

It's just the shortening of a word which Aussies are prone to do. You can find 'disrespect' or offence in anything and everything if that is how you are wired but there is nothing wrong with the shortening of words, including Abo.

Don't be culturally frigid Geoff.
You call English as 'Poms'.
You call the Nihonese as 'Japs'
You call Americans as 'Yanks'.
Australians as 'Aussies'
...so get off the onion skins in the 'abbreviation' of Aboriginal/Aborigine because you're just a Media ***** **** **** ********** **** and ****** ****!
Do you know what Nigerians and people from Niger are called in abbreviation? You know they call themselves the abbreviation too. Wink

Stop trying to be a cafe-latte sipping, black skivy wearing, closet trans homo, lefty, Media sucking, democrat voting

WANNABE INTELLECTUAL SNOB.

PS: Everyone can call me Xav for short - except you Geoff. You offend me. Cheesy

But if the Archibald is predictably disappointing, the Wynne Prize, nominally devoted to landscape painting, is even more egregious. For years, this exhibition has been progressively invaded by Aboriginal dot-paintings, and this year it has finally reached the point of almost total saturation, including many appallingly commercial pieces from the APY art business in South Australia which has been the subject of allegations about the involvement of white assistants.

This work is at best a hybrid that has developed in the last half-century, with questionable roots in Aboriginal culture and no Indigenous audience, since it is produced essentially for sale to a white market of investors and speculators. Allowing it to take over the Wynne Prize is not only deeply insulting to landscape painters of all kinds in this country, but amounts to an erasure of what has always been the most central genre of Australian painting, and ultimately an implicit denial that 97 per cent of our country’s population can imagine any authentic connection with our land.

That be Abo Reality art, that be..... tall ship she come - civilisation followed behind.... now all they have to do is follow behind..... get in phar ken line with the rest....

Wouldn't even waste time arguing this garbage - state elections are coming up along with Labor 'treaties' and other lies told to the Australian people..... I'd be more concerned with how many years Labor will spend in the wilderness for lying to the Australian people and riding rough-shod over them.

Get down and herd those Hamas-luvvah students out of the unis instead... show some balls....
