gathered in a circle to defend the statue of Captain James Cook in Sydney’s Hyde Park. Australians inspired by American protests, and calling attention to the plight of their country’s indigenous peoples, might have toppled the statue. The moment was replete with historical irony. The “discoverer” of Australia met his end on a Hawaiian beach, at the hands of a crowd of angry natives. The police seemed determined not to let it happen to him a second time.
That is some gloss to the real story of white settlement. Australia’s indigenous peoples have endured land seizures, massacres, servitude and, well into the second half of the 20th century, children forcibly removed by government agencies and church missions in the name of racial assimilation—the so-called stolen generations. An uproar over his comments compelled Mr Morrison to backtrack and clarify that he had meant no legal slavery.
But Australia has made strides to improve the Aboriginal condition, starting with a referendum in 1967 granting full citizens’ rights to indigenous Australians. In 1992 a High Court case over land title overturned the long-held legal fiction that Australia had been an uninhabitedfor the taking. And in 2008 the then prime minister, Kevin Rudd, formally apologised to the “oldest continuing cultures in human history” over the stolen generations and other past mistreatment.
In the past, bottom-up efforts by indigenous folk to improve their lot tended to work only if the political climate encouraged it. The “Uluru statement from the heart” in 2017, which called for constitutional change to give indigenous Australians a special voice in laws and policies that concerned them, was rejected by the ruling coalition, on the ground that the proposed body would constitute a third legislative chamber.
Isnt the word 'Racist' quite ignorant, since it is the Human Race?
Thieves hating their victims.

Just trace them up and you will find a common root origin. Not just an 'aussie' thing.
A recent study found that four out of four Aboriginals have a “racial bias “ against Australians.
cosy?
My best friends growing up where of first people family. I honestly didn’t think or know of them any differently. Problem is everyone sees a couple of ‘ any land’ in the world mucking up and they paint the rest with that view! I’m an white Australian that doesn’t drink!
BLM! Are the three out four Australians of foreign White European ancestry like ethnic Anglo Australian PM Scott Morrison ?
I met an Australian who was one of the most racist people I've ever met in my life. He referred to Aboriginals as a ******** - the sound they make hitting your car. As America examines itself, I think the world should follow suit.
behind their friendly Mates....
Wow
Are any known to say things like this..... ? Because that would be extreme supremacist racial hatred!
Gasp and surprise said no poc ever who has been to Australia.
Does this mean 75% of Australians are racists, or that all Australians are 75% racist?
It's a common theme on all continents with Aborigines with brown skin. It's disgraceful that they have been demonized in every colonized country. It's time for the BS to end ...
Never have so many at Ecomunist been so interested in what's in other people's minds.
Three out of four Australians are Chinese.
I'm guessing they asked every single Australian 🤔
Not surprising... from a nation created the way it was out of outcasts (migrated criminals and societal rejects). The criminal selfishness is ingrained in their beings.
How are economists quantifying the impact? Have the demographic received reparations for the events? How do we entice more economists to take on this type of research?
The fool is swallowed by the smart one !
Media frauds including The Economist create hate and division thru public deception.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!
Pagans have to deal with karma like everyone else.
still the thing
So?
Yup very much alive and kicking
They were too peaceful to foresee the envy enemies plan to take over their land. What could be the offence of the grabbers, killers, murderers, blood sucker, ravenous hoodlum's? Treat that and see peace all over the world.
Sadly a tale as old as time across cultures of the world (our damaged human nature). Wonder whose paying for the over abundant focus on anti-white editorial? Or are the world's most woke and self loathing on a 😂'news'😅 subscription spree? Love the Dr B Evil cover tho
Australia's treatment of Aborigines is abhorrent and a crime against humanity that continues unabated even today. The successive governments lack the will to pursue concrete changes. Canada, New Zealand, US and Latin America are not far behind. Never forget NativLivesMatter!!!
...are still enduring... Present tense. These actions are not behind us, yet.
It's too late to apologize&confess…especially after they bad been robbed&infringed&slaughtered totally.
India and Australia are the most racist
How is this useful? What takeaways? Is there a culture w/out that history or experiences? The point of scientific archeology, paleo-anthropology, geo-archeology... is perspective. Not to prove a claim of liability or debt. Nor a comparative of who bore more or less tragedy.
Don’t tell ScottyFromMarketing Nothing to see here. Move along.
Yes mass migration rarely works for the indigenous people (See England for details)

omg no
But it IS a very dangerous country, with lots of deaths, right?

Aussies are the most balanced people in the world- they have a chip on each shoulder!
Hmm...
You cleared the doubt by saying 'Many Australians'. The very majority are ignoring racism.
Let' s not try to find -isms everywhere.
Aussie say Australia is one of the world's least racist countries🤡
Man, Aussies can’t catch a break. They were in the lead w/ the covid stuff. They stood up to China. I almost forgot that they passed that terrifyingly insane tech privacy law last year. Then, boom- boomeranged back to end of the line! Tag ‘em, people who spray semen: RACISTS!
We spend $30 BILLION a year on 500,000 abos and it's STILL not possible for them to achieve equal outcomes to us. Actually their outcomes have hardly changed. Either that's because we don't do enough out of 'racism' or because racial differences are real. Which is more likely?
They’re incredibly racist against the aboriginals.
TheEconomist: Ignorance is bliss😇 'Those who has not sinned must throw the first stone.'
Wrong! Ask tourists and Asians there...90% of them have faced it sometime or the other. Ask Australians in Asia, 1% may, may not, have faced it.
“l never lie”
HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA After India, Australia is the most are dropping, openly racist country I've ever lived in. If English people think the UK is systemicly racist, give Straya a try
Australia is one of the world's least racist countries but some activists are doing their best to change that and in doing so show that they are racist. Their motive seems to be 100% political.
we bend backward to welcome migrants We print gov documents in 50 lingos How is that for generosity n accomodating?
Not fundamentally, but technically.....
And they are 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
if you have to ask at all... that's your answer.
Bullshit.
Racism is a human condition Rioting is a human condition Come to think of it, this list could be huge. I'll stop with those two.
I'll wait to hear the aboriginals say that. But I hope they would/will.
Stop race baiting everyone it’s getting old...
Where exactly are white people indigenous? WhiteGenocide WhiteLivesMatter
There are definitely issues in my beloved Oz, but seriously gettting advise from the UK on race relations....right. That’s a laugh. How are your knife attacks going by the way....
Stand with BLACK stand with HK
Mr. and Mrs. Justice's Fantasy wish: That Canada, America, South America and Australia be given back to the indigenous peoples and the invader, plunderer and slaver return home.
Of course
Aboriginals are so backwards that the Australian state oil company had to reduce the octane level of gasoline sold in the outback because the aboriginals were drinking too much of it.

Name one ‘country’ where the indigenous inhabitants did not get the short end of the stick
What? bariweiss assured me there was no racism in Australia.
Racism isn’t a thing of the past anywhere
Go away media frauds, people do not want you spreading hate and division.
When White Lives Matters will be in place ?
Ugh let me not even start commenting on systematic racism in Australia. Even Australians will tell you how racist Australia is, that’s why White South Africans feel so at home when they relocate there.
Wish I could read this article The Economist throttle me
Why is it ok to be racist against White people?
