it is not 'all' about context. Context has to be looked at.

But, in the main - it's 'got to be racist' because you're inquiring about race

now - ''Realise that, somehow, our Gov accepts that just because somebody states they are Aboriginal, there can be no question. Also understand that when Aboriginals claim there is cultural recognition to a certain place, there can be no question. ''

you head off and prove without a shadow of doubt that by including that lot = you're as racist as it comes

In Australia - I'd rather see nothing to do with race at all - zip.

No 'aboriginal' areas, towns - 'gaps' - nothing. No forms, zip.

What I'd rather see is government by location.

So the country is split up into - whatever we want to call them - maybe 'councils' 'departments' - whatever

and in those areas - there are needs --------- on area - Area 47 maybe - has a high homeless rate - so that area is funded with more funds for homelessness

another area might have a particular eye disease - that is then especially funded.

There are some things that one just can't get away from - some kinds of research - which shows that aboriginals get such and such a disease and Europeans don't - etc etc.

these kinds of things do exist - but, management of them - doesn't have to be by race - it can be by location.

It gets around all kinds of problems that really have no reason to exist - they exist exactly because it's a racist society
