You are totally right unfortunately. I was trying to give the individual who called someone rasist more information. Online, knee-jerk reactions are all to common. The individual calling someone out is an American and unfortunately many individuals there equate criticism with racism. I've seen groups of aboriginal kids at servos sniffing petrol at Moree. Many under the age of 10.

Alcohol abuse is a huge problem facing many indigenous Australians. Depression and self harm behaviours also play a huge role. https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/australias-health/indigenous-health-and-wellbeing The number one cause of death for indigenous Australians aged 5 to 17 is suicide according to this report. A very sad state of affairs.
