How can Australians be racist if we have given so many Aboriginal names to our towns and suburbs?

Answer 1

Ok so some place has an Aboriginal name that does not mean the people living in it are not biased in some way now does it?. If the town has an indigenous population but are all in a slum on ''that side of the tracks'' and all the other residents live in nice well cared for homes in the ''right part of town'' then you could ask this question.
You can name a place anything you like but that will not do anything to the demographic or social structure of that place.
What you would need to do is build a brand new town. erect X number of houses then import a cross section of the Australian community. Give them (each family) a key to each house. Tell them all as a group, now go select the house you want to live in--it is yours.
I bet you all the tea in China the group will look around, all the same ''types'' will congregate together and will go in smaller groups and select houses all side by side each other forming mini enclaves. Dont for one moment tell me it would all be split up. or where in hell does Cabramatta for Vietnamese, Leichardt for Italians, Lakemba, Puchbowl, Wiley Park, Belmore for Arabs, Campsie for Koreans,Strathfield for Asians and all those places come from?
Multicultural Australia? My butt .,

Answer 2

Racism is defined as the discrimination of a person/group based on their race, religion, culture etc.

Naming towns and suburbs does not negate racism. The only way to "eliminate" racism is NOT to discriminate against someone based on their race, religion, culture etc.

Answer 3

I am sure they are very grateful especially as most have been given a European surname in return.

Maybe people should give up their grandfathers name and heritage just see how that feels especially Jay D.

EDIT dear mai the towns were built on stolen land..DURRRR! put your brain into gear before asking ridiculous qs

Answer 5

"Racist" is an epithet used to stop people from having an opinion on immigration, because the rich prosper from them and we, the working class, are subjugated to all the perils of living around thirdworld scum.

Calling places in our country after abos is racist towards us. How dare they give our towns names of a useless subhuman retard race!
