I'm from diet Australia with guns (Texas. Former coworker from Australia described the state as such) and that upsets me.
I've taken several of my fellow melanin-deficient (now ex) coworkers to management for saying unacceptably stupid shit. The idea people could be dumber over race in today's abundance of knowledge is just upsetting.
To be clear, I'm talking about the people that caused the issue to make people feel the need to attempt to "clean" and not those that attempted the act.
The government was taking black children away from their parents and putting them on missions to be raised by nuns until the 1970s. Many weren't citizens until the 1967 referendum on Aboriginal rights. They weren't counted as part of the population in the national census, and weren't required to vote.
It's very similar to how America treated its Indigenous people, except the Turtle Islanders had treaties. As far as I know, we didn't have any treaties with Aboriginal people here until the late 20th century. We still don't in many places.
I think the biggest reason for that is that the Turtle Islanders built a lot more permanent structures that were obviously humanmade. That's not the case in most of Australia. Aboriginal people made their mark on the landscape by using cold fire to terraform the natural environment into an ideal habitat for food species. It was a form of agriculture fully integrated into the natural environment, and thus invisible to early white people. A lot of colonisers had no idea that the land they were stealing was inhabited, until the locals showed up months later asking what these foreigners were doing in their homes.
White people had no fucking clue how to even perceive the advanced structures the First Australians built, so they viewed the people as akin to animals and barely bothered to treat with them.
