IMO the big issue facing Aborigine people's historic complaint that
they were racially discriminated against due to them being black,
is that of the recent arrival of African & Indian migrants.

Indian Immigrants are climbing the socio/economic ladder by starting
up their own small businesses (aspirationaly middle class)
or being already middle class via the professions (EG: Medicine)

The African immigrants are now migrating ( mainly) from being welfare dependant to
dinky die Aussie working class.

This is why, IMO , there has been an extra push by the Indigenous leaders
to seek advantage via being Indigenous rather than being black.

That said, however, if Indian & African Immigrants were " compelled"
to live in outback Aus with limited job/business opportunities, then their welfare
dependence would likely be no different to that of our outback indigenous peoples.
This would engender a Culture of Poverty rather than a specific ethnic culture, IMO.

I guess over time, it'll be interesting to see how African immigrants who have
favoured concentrating in certain suburbs fair out vs Indigenous people
in say Redfern. I guess time will tell...eh?

I guess to be reasonable about racial/ethnic issues, we have to judge by outcomes;
particuluarly economic outcomes, IMO.

Please explain why the indigenous population is
compelled to live in remote areas and therefore
are dependent on welfare, as you hypothesise.
What happened before the British arrived, there
were no businesses or welfare, how did the
indigenous folk survive then?
