Negro and coloured are unacceptable terms now, I don't make the rules, it's widely known. I suggest you keep up with the times.
The Americans don't help the situation, with a few organisations still using those terms in their title. It's mostly older black people that still use them. The various terms that changed over time were decided by the whites.
I don't know what is the correct term is either sometimes, it's more about your deep down beliefs. I know I'm not racist, can you really say the same to yourself alone?" ----------------------------------------------
Stu, you are very judgmental. Part of being a mature person is allowing others to have a different take on life from yourself without feeling compelled to label them as 'racist', 'bigoted', etc
You are absolutely entitled to your views about oppression and disadvantage of indigenous people.
My suggestion, however, would be that you try to persuade someone like Noel Pearson to explain to you how the persistent painting of aboriginal people as victims has become a self fulfilling situation.
All of us are ultimately responsible for how we feel about ourselves. Your chastising others on here because they have a different view is imo arrogant and lacking in genuine empathy.
