[quote=Anonymous]My impression as a visitor was that it’s horribly racist but the Australians try to cover for it with ridiculous verbal wokery, but no real action. Case in point: at every site you visit, there is signage or some guide saying “We acknowledge this is Aboriginal Land,” but then doing nothing tangible to actually include them in mainstream society, and in fact recently voting against giving them added rights. Very similar situation in South Africa when I visited. A white tour guide tried to tell me how Apartheid was all behind them, and when I commented that I had attended a theatrical performance in Cape Town the night before without a single black person in attendance, the response was “Oh, well, that wouldn’t have interested them.” America gets all the attention, but Australia and South Africa are not great either.
