I hope you can appreciate that there is a but more subtlety to this issue than you seem to give it credit for.

The reason I (and most people who aren’t green haired devils in melbourne) don’t give it much credence is because any subtle effect of being Indigenous is overruled by other brown/black/asian people who are also impacted by the same issues and often coming from worse situations improving their lives drastically simply by working hard, studying hard, and doing their best to integrate.

You live in Australia, not Africa, playing the victim card only works for so long, people get tired of hearing about it.

Hence the no vote:

You can’t blame whitey when literally every demographic is represented in that 60% no vote and there wasn’t even a no campaign, all the pink haired melbourne devils like /u/Taleya’s running around screaming if you don’t vote yes you’re racist!!! somehow didn’t seem to impact the majority of the electorate that again, includes whites, blacks, browns, asians, and everything in between.
