That's what I have been actively saying all of my life. They were treated horribly, we get it. The English were opressed back in 1066, do you see them demanding anything from france? The past is history. Don't forget it, learn from it, but don't hate an entire people because of it.

But isn't this with the Aboriginals not so far away and aren't there still issues with racism?
I know not much about Australia, but I think, I remember some documentary, where this was shown.
If that would apply, I could understand, why they still complain.
Nevertheless, I didn't want to insult anyone and I would also agree with Ausstan, that one should learn and remember of the bad things, the ancestors have done.
