I understand that all this nonsense was aimed at parts of the Aboriginal community, which almost beggars belief. I'd like to now nominate myself as a liaison officer for the gradual re-introduction of politicians to the world of Actual Human Beings. One of my first acts will be to shove a copy of American humorist Fran Leibowitz's article on race right under their noses. That's something white people almost never think about. And what it is like to be white is not to say, 'We have to level the playing field', but to acknowledge that not only do white people own the playing field, but they have so designated this plot of land as a playing field to begin with.
White people are the playing field.
This is ludicrous. Getting in the door is pretty much the entire game, especially in movie acting, which is, after all, hardly a profession notable for its rigor. That's how advantageous it is to be white. It's as though all white people were the children of movie stars. Everyone gets in the door and then all you have to do is perform at this relatively minimal level.
