Note: for whatever reason this may bring out the ugly in the people. I have no interest in causing a stir. No negativity please. I'm only sharing as I know some here genuinely care and have an interest.

                      Ah, makes sense. You live near the cross and part of the people you're helping are the sex dolls. Are you one of those guys who have emotions for them and treat them like living beings? Sharice, Betty B, Sheryl and Anita are not real Snake. Wake up!

                • What area of work are you in? You say that, in the area of work you are in, Indigenous people with talent (in that area of work) are discriminated against so i'm interested to know what industry you work in?

                  • Ive just had a tip he might be a pimp Kram, running a high end escort agency.

                     

                    • I would seriously like to know what industry this discrimination supposedly exists in.

                      I'm not too sure that, in the corporate world at least, there is any such discrimination - I've certainly never seen it.

                      He says "And not tradesmen. Business men and wom(e)n"

                    • Amongst other things, we have acknowledged that there is a lack of indigenous talent represented in our industry. Discrimination plays its role and most students are discouraged to enter our field.

                      Your industry may be different to mine, but how many indigenous people do you know in your corporate world? How many have leadership positions? 

                    • Plenty. I'm an aeronautic engineer. My company designs in-production performance upgrades for a specific manufacturer for a specific engine family. So I work in the aviation industry. There are no indigenous people at my business, but that's not a result of any discrimination, you need a very specific aquired skill set. 

                      But, I have worked in the aviation industry for 30 years and I can assure you there is no discrimination at any level in any part of the industry - quite the opposite. I have never witnessed and don't believe there is discrimination in any of the peripheral industries either (and there are many dozens of them).

                      As I said, what field are you in? -  where "most (indigenous) students" are discouraged to enter? I'm genuinely interested.

                    • My company is desperate to get more minorities on board, especially aboriginal people. It's a huge benefit for winning government contracts.

                    • Sheet Kram, did you pause to think that one through? I hope not or air travel just got a lot more dangerous! Your argument is a fallacy; specifically, the fallacy of ignorance. The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I could go through several ways you or any of us could be unaware of a truth or of a phenomena or practice that nevertheless exists, but unless you want to deny basic logic you would do well to rethink that line of argument. 

                    • Correct Pou.

                      Indeed ALL corporates are - and it's not just because of government support. All corporates are totally clear on their social (and corporate) responsibility on this and alot of other issues, their employees are well educated in the area and are overwhelmingly supportive - to be anything other than that is simply and rightfully unacceptable in 2020.

                      All companiers have what they would call a manifesto, or a mission statement or similar (and I don't just mean a one line catch phrase) where they outline who they are, what they are, their social and environmental goals and responsibilities, inclusiveness and a range of other issues making up what they want their identity to be. It generally won't involve financial performance. I would suggest that the corporate community is now THE most inclusive comunity in this country.

                      I've asked EAM twice what the discriminatory industry is that he works in without reply. I'm thinking an informative blog from him about that industry may have been more productive than yet another "red neck racist" blog which looks to have been put up simply to get a reaction - and ironically the initial reaction via gif was "this is boring"- as in we've been down this road before. It wasn't even remotely racist.

                      It's not unreasonable to suggest that EAM gets his jollies out of starting this garbage - the evidence is in the blog.

                      So, EAM, for the third time, what is it? What is this discriminatory industry?

          • By prefacing your blog the way you did, you anticipated this potential response. You know what you did, you contemplated the backlash, but put it out there anyway. That’s inciting, albeit cloaked in a pretext of innocence.
