Are Aborigines a separate race from, say, Anglo or European Australians?
Do you really not understand the question?
Nope, they are all members of the human race,
homo sapiens sapiens. Even you are, Soren. We all are. None of us is of a separate race, we are all descended from African ancestors. We can all interbreed. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Why have separate laws, deparments, treatment, consideration for them? Why is there a 'them', anyway if they are not racially different?
What IS an Aborighine? Where does it end? Who is an Aborighine? Who is not? Why have a word for Aborighines if there is nothing different about them as they can interbreed? Why do some call themselves "proud" of something that doesn't exist? Are they stupid?
You have a dotorate, you could easily explain it to the rest of us. You are more educated th a n most, after all. Well, explain.
It looks like it might be about... er.. colour
