[Amanda L.]

I take it your friend is also a white, middle-class (thus privileged) male who has not considered the reasons people of repressed backgrounds haven’t just slotted into the white man’s way of life. I’m not even from your country and am aware of the race relations and slave history of African Americans. Australia is no different in the discrimination and judgments projected by white ruling class on aboriginal people (traditional inhabitants of this country). Alcohol-related behavior is often singled out to demonstrate their supposed moral inferiority, as is their limited success in achieving the goals of whites, i.e. having a neat house, impressive annual income, car and 2.3 children. My final point is in the form of a quote that I can only hope you will consider in your opinions on this matter: “The joy of creation is in its infinite diversity and the way in which our individual differences combine to create meaning and beauty.” – Mr. Spock, Star Trek.
