Liz Cambage is rallying against the White Wash of the Australian Olympic team promotions.

Firstly, some of the reports put this in an indigenous platform, is Cambage indigenous?
Secondly, given the photos have 7 and 10 athletes respectively, to keep things proportional we have to have 0.23% of an Indigenous person in the 7 athlete photo, and 0.33% of a Indigenous person in the 10 athlete photo. Or combined 0.56% of an Indigenous athlete across both photos.
The use of a whole disabled athlete in both is ridiculously over-representative.
Just a few weeks back I listened to a Indigenous activist from Vic Western District argue you are indigenous if we say your indigenous, and skin colour makes no difference. The debate is so full of hypocrisy I can't pretend to be interested anymore. The Cambage article asserts she tweeted that fake tan doesn't cut it, so true skin colour matters!
There is a lot of absurdity in this debate from all sides even my own! :o
