You can self-identify (by definition) with anything. The question is: should this self-identification be taken seriously enough to warrant legal recognition?

This seems to indulge in a double-standard.

Someone can self-identify as a Siberian Husky, but should they, by that, have the right to squat, hands behind feet, and take a dump on the neighbour's lawn?

It's obvious that some people here have missed a
relevant point about so-called "race".

Modern scholarship views racial categories as
socially constructed, that is, race is not
intrinsic to human beings but rather a
created identity, often arising from socially
dominant groups to establish meaning in a
social context.

The concept of race has no basis in biological reality.

This is an interesting site explanation of "speciation".

Speciation- Evolution and the Fossil Record.

D'oh!

"Modern, scholarship, science" - ALL socially constructed concepts.
As is "socially constructed concepts".

But Dutton wants to "show respect" (regardless of whether blacks are a separate race or not, you wankers):

Sky news: "Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has revealed that if the Voice fails, he would be committed to holding a second referendum on constitutional recognition for First Nations people.

“I think it’s right and respectful to recognise Indigenous Australians in the constitution,” Mr Dutton told Sky News Australia.

what does constitutional recognition of boongs even do

besides provide some meaningless symbolic SOB to them in writing

why bother wasting money on a referendum for that

sounds similar to the rudd apology

it's telling that in the john farnham voice promo commercial that showed generations of the same family watching pivotal boong moments on tv the rudd apology wasnt included in the montage, simply bc its been 15 or so years after it happened and absolutely nothing has changed for abos since

including it would foreshadow in the minds of watchers the future trajectory (and inevitable failure to achieve anything) of the voice so they were prudent to keep it out
