WRT RK's post #66, "Abo" is considered derogatory and offensive. Please use "Aboriginal" or "Indigenous".

And as a white college-educated 35-year-old male, I believe their IS racial advantage and disadvantage and since I care about social justice I want to see that addressed.
The best way to address it is at the education level, not at the job selection level. If that means tailoring education systems to the needs of disadvantaged minorities, then we should do this. I'd certainly like to see more black teachers, and I wouldn't mind trying black-only schools, but I'd like to see these schools have regular "mixer" events where students from different backgrounds do things together.
