Dark Emu is really a support vehicle for his attempt at cultural appropriation. The various tribal clans he lays ancestral claims to have disavowed him, but not the ALP and ABC ; they know better than to listen to the VOICE of the aborigines who think him a Melbourne inner city bred white fella with zip connection to Tasmanian natives and elsewhere.
However you always get those albino donkeys who hee haw at the prospect he is a X-breed and to suggest otherwise,unconscionable. As if he's some kind of meta-God of the dreaming (see The Castle; Kerrigan).
Some people obsessed with pixies at the end of the garden too, but sensible grownups know better.
