And i don't think that Natives are confined with no hope in an impoverished ghetto, but i think that's a hell of a good job by our government and media to paint that picture.
If that's the picture its because aboriginals have painted it themselves. . . . . and, if you read back through your comments, you're essentially agreeing with me while tacking on the opposite conclusion at the end.

And no, that doesn't sound like the government that leads one of the more multi-cultural, racially diverse nations in the world . . . . in spite of its innumerable flaws.

Which might lead us to another point . . . . why is it that a single racial minority in one of the wealthiest and more multi-cultural, racially diverse nations in the world is unable to integrate and take advantage of the opportunities available to the common man and instead chooses to confine itself to fixed ghettos?

That, my opponent, is merely stating a factual observation with a relevant question attached.
