Ok I am interested to ask people who see all racism as bad (black and white no inbetween) a question. No one seems to made clear statement on my other examples so I’ll try another. I don’t really want to focus on particular groups but it helps to investigate a point so here goes.

The government has all sorts of policies specifically aimed at aboriginal people doing all sorts of things giving them extra funding, trying to give them extra access to education. There are education scholarships for aboriginal people only, aboriginal people are allowed to hunt various animals other cannot, go to restricted places others cannot. The list goes on. To me this clearly involves racism but I don’t necessarily see it is bad. Do you see this as racism? Do you see it as bad and should it be stopped? Can you recognise that it is plausible to view this as racism and plausible to not see it as bad?

I would be interested for people to specifically address the above questions.
