Lol why is it still surprising that Europeans don’t give a shit about the atrocities they’ve committed, or the land they’ve stolen? Come on y’all, they’ve been at it for like 600 years. It’s like expecting the methhead to stop doing meth.

All the non european migrants i work with are voting no. They see the voice as racist and, like you, view indigenous issues as the fault of white people and therefore not their problem.

I have the exact same experience. Most of the people with an anglo saxon background are voting yes, most of the people from other backgrounds are voting no. Some of the reasons given is because they think it will privilege one group over another, they don't like the idea of one group being identified for "special treatment", etc.

And yet when I say it suddenly I'm the racist, because of my skin color, despite being from a refugee family. Its stunning

Europeans? Do you call Americans Europeans too? How long ago must a nation be established before they become their own entity to you? You might as well call us all Pangeans!

Well I’m not gonna call you Native Australians. You’re European Australians. Or if you want me to put it differently, people that look like Europeans are from Europe, doesn’t matter if your mom birthed you elsewhere, you’re still European.
