Was in too couple % wage earners, approx in too 5% wealth Australians in fact I would argue being aboriginal has been of great benefit to him, far outweighing any problems he’s encountered which are all trivial Go to a poor country, a racist country, a war torn country and tell people about this name calling and they will tell you that you’ve lost all perspective

What you assert at the end there is untrue. Go to a poor country, particularly one with plenty of blacks and see how trivial they find it when you start aggressively calling them niggers as a racial insult. I think if you take up the challenge and do it, you'll report back that they didn't regard it as a triviality. If you're in a position to report back at all. Reaper
