Hi! Today, I want to talk about a topic that I've experienced multiple times in my life, in this country. And that's racism! How do you view racism? Is it still alive in this country, in your opinion? Have you ever experienced racism in your life? How did you handle your racist experience?
In 1987, a sensational discovery was made by a Sydney University team, led by Australias most celebrated pre-historian, Professor D J Mulvaney. They reported that the Australian population in 1788 was 750,000, or three times the previous estimate. They concluded that more than 600,000 people had died as result of white settlement
What had happened in the Americas and Siberia happened in Australia as well. When the Europeans colonized these regions, they noticed that the natives had no immunity to diseases such as small pox and measles. And they found extermination by disease much easier and inexpensive when compared to extermination by warfare.
