Reverse discrimination & mythologies about Aborigines
The aborigines make the majority of people, especially in the northern parts of Australia. The mythologies about the Aborigines are the claims that they get everything irrespective of not contributing to society and working. The truth is that they fought in every war since the Boer war. The lands were not handed over to the ancient Australian, instead of a species of land titles that could continue to restrict whites’ settlement. The restriction was the law of the land, and there was no handing over the land tracks to the Aborigines. There is an eight national Native Title Tribunal that was set up to affect the decisions of the high court and the Malcolm Fraser Aboriginal Land Rights Act. The native title cannot interfere with anybody else’s title, and that the laws only apply to selective lands.
The Implicit Association test done by the Australians shows that there might be a negative implicit bias against the indigenous Australians, which is portrayed to be the likely cause of racism experienced by the indigenous people. Most of the ethnicities displayed bias towards the indigenous Australians, but the Aboriginals were unbiased towards the groups. The results, however, may be under-reported since its an optional test for the Australians. The negative view of most Australians towards indigenous Australians may result in widespread racism.
In recent times, however, Native peoples’ interests have been prohibited from bargaining with the bureaucrats in areas that already have legal status. Crown lands personnel asked local Aboriginal communities, in exchange for parcels found during negotiations in which bureaucrats exercised power in disclosing late and disguising details, to forgo potential land claims in some area, including Metropolitan Sydney. All these were done in favor of the indigenous Australians who wished to settle or acquire titles of the land meant for the Aborigines.
