That is POSSIBLY true. I am going with probabilities here with only the data I have. statistically probably heās probably not racist against his own race.
My point isnāt to make a claim, you made a claim. I just wanted to point out that there is not enough information based on this one post to claim that.
What does oil have to do with humans? If someone asked me to define my type I wouldnāt put someone who is morbidly obese. Doesnāt mean I think less of them. I respect and appreciate them as much as the next person but that doesnāt mean I want to fuck them.

Like, not even close.

Maybe thereās less racism in your country than where Iām from. Iām from Australia and thatās what Iāve been told by the black people I know around here.

Iām from diet Australia with guns (Texas. Former coworker from Australia described the state as such) and that upsets me.
Iāve taken several of my fellow melanin-deficient (now ex) coworkers to management for saying unacceptably stupid shit. The idea people could be dumber over race in todayās abundance of knowledge is just upsetting.

The government was taking black children away from their parents and putting them on missions to be raised by nuns until the 1970s. Many werenāt citizens until the 1967 referendum on Aboriginal rights. They werenāt counted as part of the population in the national census, and werenāt required to vote.
Itās very similar to how America treated its Indigenous people, except the Turtle Islanders had treaties. As far as I know, we didnāt have any treaties with Aboriginal people here until the late 20th century. We still donāt in many places.
I think the biggest reason for that is that the Turtle Islanders built a lot more permanent structures that were obviously humanmade. Thatās not the case in most of Australia. Aboriginal people made their mark on the landscape by using cold fire to terraform the natural environment into an ideal habitat for food species. It was a form of agriculture fully integrated into the natural environment, and thus invisible to early white people. A lot of colonisers had no idea that the land they were stealing was inhabited, until the locals showed up months later asking what these foreigners were doing in their homes.
White people had no fucking clue how to even perceive the advanced structures the First Australians built, so they viewed the people as akin to animals and barely bothered to treat with them.
