2. There are many examples of non-white people's racism, often to sub-groups of their own race: the Hindu caste system; the treatment of Chinese Uighurs; even racism amongst light and dark-skinned American blacks.

So why are whites always targeted as 'racists'? /3

3. Why is racism often found where clearly none/little exists? As a specific example: a bearded, long-haired and hirsute man being called an ape by a 13yo girl and booed by crowds, but 86 other Indigenous players not being subjected to 'racist' comments and actions similarly. /4

4. Why is it that the Left is so preoccupied with race and racism? Is it simply to be morally superior? Is it to be the guardians of society? Is it to control a narrative? Is it to be the arbiters of good and evil?

Or is it about their own prejudices and insecurities? /5

5. Those who see racism everywhere are those who look for it. The Offence and Outrage Industry thrives on it, if only to put them in the beatific limelight to signal their virtue loudly and clearly.

Does racism exist? Of course. Does it exist to the degree the Left suggests? /6

6. Of course not. Ask yourself when you, yourself, last personally witnessed an act of racism.

In many instances it exists only in the acutely attuned minds of those who look for it.

And that means we should ask why they see it so often when others do not. /7

7. And we should also ask why they demand higher standards of white folk, thereby placing them in a position of moral and intellectual superiority.

For that, itself, is true racism.

Why is criticism of the dysfunction of Indigenous communities 'racist'? /8

8. The criticism is based on behaviour, not skin-colour. Why should criminal or neglectful behaviour be given a free pass from criticism?

Is it because the Left sees them as less capable and, therefore, 'inferior' and, as such, needing protection?

For that, too, is racist. /9

9. As we approach Australia Day, the usual spoilers will as usual tell white Australians how racist they are, whilst unaware of or ignoring the shocking treatment of women and children by their own.

Deflecting racism isn't fixing racism. It's perpetuating it. /10

10. Worse, calling someone or a group of people racists foments dissent, derails reconciliation, is divisive and changes nothing of the terrible plight of remote Indigenous folk.

Let's unite. Let's drop faux racism. Let's move forward, not look to the past, as one nation united.

The notion that only western Caucasians can be racist is, in itself, racist, since it implies that white folk are somehow morally superior and should know better - and judging 'superiority' and 'inferiority' are the basis of racism. /2
