So lame when legitimate points are dismissed as 'racism'. It is absolutely possible to make these arguments, not all of which I even agree with, or present these issues, without having a racist intent.

I was hoping the level of discourse would be better here, sadly it's just /r/Australia2

It wasn't "dismissed". They clearly outlined why these are long-standing racist tropes and why the "inequitable representation" argument is dishonest. Did you actually bother to read the whole comment or did you just get to "racism" and have a mental breakdown?
