All of the above is way too deep and thoughtful and political for my liking.

I like simple.  I dont see their background, creed, gender, colour or disability when I look at Olympians.  I see a bunch of Aussies who have dedicated their lives to be the best athlete they can be.

A white can be a role model for black and vice versa and all that matters is how they conduct themselves on and off field when competing.

If we focussed more on that, and less on the rest of the crap we'd probably have happier people more often. 

No Thry, it's just how our First Nations people define themselves.  We've taken everything else away from them so why not let them identify themselves as they choose.

Of course, I don't include Cambage's outburst in that, and her disrespect of Maurice Longbottom is appalling.  Her ignorant comments play into the hands of racists like Andrew Blot who focus on skin colour and stereotypical behaviour rather than cultural mores.
