SBS Fails to be Woke Enough! By James Reed
Consider this: "On SBS's World News Bulletin, the Australian weather map is shown first with English names for each capital, before changing over to Indigenous titles.
Perth becomes Boorloo, Sydney becomes Warrang, Brisbane is Meanjin, Melbourne is Naarm and Adelaide is Tarndanya."
Now Melbourne refers to the city, not merely the land place, and the city did not exist prior to the British Australian people building it. But no matter.To be fully multicult, there also needs to be names used of every ethnic group in Australia, such as Greeks, with Melbourne being one of the largest "Greek" cities in the world, outside of Greece. "Melbourne" in Greek is Μελβούρνη. That needs to be done for the tens of thousands of ethnicities, otherwise …racism!
Or just go back to English!
