Didn’t know Australians still had slavery so late in history.
America still had slavery in the 1940s when the last slave was freed (might've been later than that) and it still has slavery in the form of prison labor
And we still have slavery. It is legal per the 13th amendment. Disgusting.
China still has slavery today.
I mean sure maybe idk anything about china. What made you bring it up?
Also India, many places in Europe, the Arab states, South and North America. Or do you mean China is specially “slavey”?
Can you tell me more about that?
Here's where I got this information, it's a long watch but well worth it. video
His videos are really detailed, fact based and eye opening for sure.
They didn't even class indigenous Australians as people, until late 1960's. They were considered fauna.
Is it ? Australia hold a référendum this year to give a bit more rights to native people. They voted against it.
You can use the wording you want, Australia is a racist country that shows no respect to the native people.
He, it is not a contest. I never say Europe was less racist than other country/area. Just I don’t hide by using some words to softening the reality.
I don’t try to move away the initial discussion : we don’t care if it is true or not that native people where considered as fauna. The point was native people are considered as second class people, that do not deserve respect, unfortunately.
hahahahaha you think this is late???
Aboriginals we’re even denied a seat in politics just in the last few months. I remember being shocked they voted in Tony abbot ..who for years screamed about women’s menstruation in parliament. Australia is super backwards.
Abbott was also appointed Minister for Women.
The Voice which, if I understand correctly, wasn't an offer of a seat in parliament, it was a constitutional amendment that would allow an advisory board for Aboriginal and Torres strait islanders. They wouldn't have had any actual power any way.
It was a British penal colony up until 1840
