Ramesh Thakur, a Brownstone Institute Senior Scholar, a former United Nations Assistant Secretary-General, and emeritus professor in the Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University, has published at Browntone.org, his view that while America, at least with recent Supreme Court decisions, has moved away from a racialized legal system, Australia with the Voice referendum, is embracing racialism. Only the brand of racialism is centred around indigenousness. The Voice explicitly singles out a racial group, the Aborigines, however defined, distinguished from all the rest. This indigenous group will be given special privileges and powers; that is the bottom line. It is completely contrary to the rhetoric of anti-racism which was pushed in the post-World War II world, to allow Replacement level migration. Clearly there was no real moral basis to this, as it is all ideologically driven.
The big question is how exactly is “indigenous” to be defined? If there is some supposed physical basis to it, and it is not some totally woke social construction, then what position does mixed-race people take? If some distant relative was indigenous, is that going to be enough to receive the reparations? It is the same question being raised at present in the US, as Western countries begin work on deconstructing themselves, and all that was fought for, and paid for with blood, sweat and tears, is lost, if the globalist Left are not defeated.
