I wish one day I could drink as much nationalist kool aid as you to think Australia is a single entity or America is a single entity or any nation is a single entity woth a single set of values or a single set of ideals or a single set of principles.

This is called nationalism and is modern invention. You can choose to not participate but school is designed to make you believe you have more in common with the white guy a hundred kilometers away in a part of your nation you have never once visited than the indigenous person or the immigrant down the road. This is a lie.

You identify with the social norms of the dominant ethnic group of the land called Australia. Let me rewrite part of your comment:

"To pretend white people in Australia are anything like the white people in the US is disingenuous. There are white people who want to give up protesting, framing things like this doesn't help"

Ah there we go. Now we can finally understand your position.

I am so sorry white people are feeling sad in those places. I promise you the white people in australia and the white people in america have tons in common.
