Stop xenophobia
Xenophobia is the fear of that which is perceived to be strange or foreign. This curation collection also includes all the 'isms' in the world; racism, sexism, etc. Including homophobia. When are people going to realise that this behaviour is not right. Please stop it now and be inclusive in your world views. Reduce the hate in the world and stop all forms of violence against people.

What if Aboriginal people helped all Australians to connect to country? | #IndigenousX | Stop xenophobia | Scoop.it
Picture this: every time Malcolm Turnbull addresses the nation, he acknowledges the Aboriginal country he was born on. @IndigenousX host Charlie Jia imagines a new kind of united Australian identity

Via Kim Flintoff
Kim Flintoff's curator insight, November 23, 2015 1:39 AM

It's not that hard to acknowledge country.  We all do it regularly at work:  

 

"I acknowledge the Nyungar Wadjuk people as the traditional owners of country on which this campus sits. 

I wish to acknowledge their continuing connection to land, sea and community and I pay my respects to them and their culture; and to elders, past present and future."

Some lessons here for Australia as well. I often hear the "if you don't like it here, go back to where you came from" comment in Australia. But don't you want constructive feedback to make your society better?
