This is him trying to help If we’re honest, most of us would accept that a bad envoy is a little bit like a bad father or a bad husband. Not withstanding all his or her faults, you find that he tends to do more good than harm.

Do you think it's like a brain dead cop tactic? Like just go in with a folder full of blank pages and dick drawings and hope it intimidates?

I read about an Aboriginal-built observatory. I figure if someone was watching the sun's movement closely enough they needed an observatory, they probably knew about the structure of the solar system too

It is interesting to me that the paper is complaining that we are slipping in science scores but is also complaining at an attempt to fix that by making classes more relevant. Its not like you couldn't teach physics in the way I was taught using examples from indigenous culture anyway. When I did physics heaps of the questions were about bullets and elevators and cars. What difference does it make if its applied to an area that the students feel is more culturally relevant

Hang on, was he annoyed that Chinese people were at a theme park in China? Or that a popular theme park in one of the worlds most populous cities was crowded with tourists was noteworthy? Coz basically he just said "Shanghai Disney is popular, and therefore crowded.", (which is not news), but chose the most racist possible way to say it.

bell jar posted:https://www.buzzfeed.com/joshtaylor/home-affairs-didnt-give-peter-dutton-any-files-for-tony That seems a suspiciously precise statement. Presumably Dutton didn't ask for papers to put in a particular folder, but for some other shenanigans. This reads more like the bureaucracy being bureaucratic and wanting to not release something unless you use the right magic words, than the folders being filled with old telephone directories or whatever

This Junkee post gives a bit more context, for those who were baffled: https://junkee.com/sky-news-outsiders-racist/180366 As I expected, it’s along the lines of “The superiority of our culture is proven by these Extremely Orientals wanting to be white like Mickey Mouse!” Though apparently he was in the middle of praising the Chinese for adopting so much Superior Western Culture, therefore the Chinese government is not to be feared but loved, etc. — something along those lines. So I wonder if, by laying on the slurs, he was (like Cartoon earlier) attempting to convey, “This is how SOME think about these people, but you SHOULDN’T.” Ya know? “You picture the Chinese as yellow demons, but I’m telling ya, they love Disney! So shame on YOU.” But obviously in a confused and ham-handed way. But it’s possible I’m giving him too much credit. I have basically no idea who these people are. Anyway he’s clearly a racist fuckhead no matter how you slice it, so whatever.

snoremac posted:He was arguing that fearing the Chinese is bogus because they embrace Western civilization. It was a non-racist argument put very racistly. Yeah, this is it. People are saying “Slurs!” and I believe his counter would be, “But they were ironic slurs in an argument AGAINST racism!” but his argument against racism was actually totally racist anyway, in a different way. So, uh... layers and layers, huh.

Getting my primary schooling in the 80's, Social Studies units were all about Aboriginal culture, Dream time mythology, how bullshit and brutal the white folk invasion was, field trips to learn bush living and survival and language. About 4 years worth and this was Geraldton WA, of all places. Don't they do that anymore? Or, is that news article just recycled umbrage bait?

My Victorian public primary school in the early 90s we did this for as much of it as I can remember and it was great. For my siblings who went to school in the early 2000s they did nothing of the sort. It was the only time I didn't skip school and showed up early and I was so proud of it.
