My boss, who identifies as indigenous
Are they actually indigenous or are they just like those americans who claim they are native american because their grandmother's grandfather once sniffed a Navajo's crotch?
Eejit-
She has some indigenous heritage, I don't doubt that, it's just her fondness for offensive racist soft toys that I find perplexing given her background...
I foresee some 'cultural awareness' sessions in our team's upcoming training schedule... It's very disappointing, we're a pretty diverse group in our office and I wasn't expecting these kinds of attitudes to be floating around... I won't tolerate it so it looks like we're heading for stormy waters!!

Ah the treatment of Indigenous Australian is really bad, no equal rights till 66? Babies being taken from the Indigenous community to be given to white childless couples.

I got into a quite heated debate with two colleagues today... Apparently, Golliwogs are just harmless dolls... I went to town, obvs, but made zero headway... My boss, who identifies as indigenous, has a large collection of gollys at home and thinks that's absolutely fine, she isn't offended at all...
I left the room for a while to clear my head and bumped into my Caribbean colleague who'd just overheard the whole exchange... We both just stood there looking at each other in disbelief...
Australia, my friends... Where white privilege knows no bounds!!
