Sally you are not the only one and proof that it happens in other countries.
I have never fought someone, smeared someone or bullied someone based on their race but i have been on the receiving end based on that alone.
I hear a lot about systematic racism and about white oppression but i don't see it. Not here and not overseas. Certainly there are racists who have white and there are racists who don't have white skin.
Equality of opportunity IS fair but equality of outcome is not and only strict and damaging social engineering will bring that about. If one people do better (on average) than another, it is not indicative that they do not have the same protections, opportunities or are discriminated against.
Well what about the slaves from Africa bought to America against their will? Don't their ancestors deserve reparations or extra special treatment?
Nope this is a good old dose of spoonfed Progressive white guilt.
My ancestors were bought to Australia in chains, in a hull of a ship, on a six month voyage, with pestilence rife in those unsanitary conditions, to a hot rugged unspoiled bushland, isolated half a world from anyone they knew, having to work to build all the public buildings and prison from which to keep them, while in sunburning temperatures they'd never experienced, for no pay, whilst being driven by threat of violence, serving their sentence under such harsh conditions where insubordination was often punished with whipping, and then on release these ancestors were discriminated against and harassed and often locked up again for offence minor or imagined.
When do you hear ancestors of Aussie convicts cry about the past or beg for special treatments or reparations ?
