I got as far as "Gatorade bottles labelled in Mandarin" in the summary to know that it's shotty journalism lmao

The facists and racists have existed before Canada was a country but people just keep conveniently forgetting. Except back then they were the ones in power.

Of course, literal records of Parliament don't.

You are correct except for calling the white colonizers "settlers".

Settlers in this context typically means immigrants who came over after Australia became a British colony. Usually non-white but there are plenty of Scottish and Irish families who are settlers because of the whole British enslaving them part.

I think the term you're looking for is covert racism.

I'm Canadian and yeah.... Even IRL a lot of people refuse to admit it.

I've been forced to educate people about the Chinese Head Tax and the 2 very distinct Chinese Exclusion Acts and how that on top of Yellow Peril still affects Chinese disapora today in government regulations including immigration and social programs, which is super traumatic as a Hong Kong diaspora who is also trans, queer, female-bodied, and neurodivergent.

I'm not sure why you're confused because the first sentence of the article literally says:

Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in the country’s constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.

Which sums up why they were trying to make this happen, which also sounds like they don't have an official group of Indigenous peoples advising the government on anything that is an Indigenous issue, which is super bad.

Also, from the article:

Opposition to the voice seized on this ambiguity, adopting a campaign slogan of “if you don’t know, vote no”.

I know the Western world still isn't into it, but kids should be allowed to wear masks if they're sick or trying to prevent illness. Like they do in Asian countries.

Especially by the point they're in high school.

Not isolated at all. Black kids (especially girls) get targeted all the time. It's usually ignored or doesn't make the news.

Or the Japanese army during WWII.

Really? My Google Sheets has so many formulas and conditional formatting. There's so much I can't do in Excel that I can do in Sheets :/

Also, adding checkboxes in Excel is a pain lol. They made it so difficult.

Sure. Just abort. Because it's not at all traumatizing for his wife to get an abortion.... Abortions are so easy on the body.
