They are the oldest living culture in the world. There should be a lot to learn from them. Australia does have a extensive history of racism against Aboriginals, so posts like yours easily roles of the relays.
Learn from them how exactly? They didn’t have writing.. All of their knowledge was passed down through oral tradition and pretty much all of their languages are dead.
And learn what exactly? They were primitive peoples who evolved very little technology and culture. There is no architectural history, no agricultural history, no ruins, no artefacts, essentially nothing but some cave art and a few tidal fish traps.
They could navigate by the stars and understood localised climates and other than that, fire was their most advanced technology.
They were nomadic hunter gatherer tribes people subsisting off the land - not fucking scholars pondering the nature of the universe who have some hidden mathematics that the colonisers missed.
Why don’t you go spend some time in these communities as they exist today? Go see what a 50% DV rate looks like. The 7 year old girls being treated for STIs. The 90%+ unemployment rates. The drug and alcohol fuelled 3-day benders they go on when their welfare checks come in.
You wouldn’t last a week. You’ve got an idealised vision in your mind and zero grasp on reality and when someone whose been there and done it comes with an opinion you revert to the bog standard call of “racism” because you’re an intellectual midget with nothing but your feelz to back you up.
