    Those are made with what is normally discarded as compost by the wine makers, with water and sugar added to boost the fermentation.
    And that is the fortunate case when they don't just use refined alcohol flavors and food dye.

    Is that not stonewalling those who are not diversifying?

    Surely that is not being inclusive?

    What if they become sheltered from change and get left behind? Is there a system for elevating the progress of the non bio diversified?

    I'm afraid not, there is no system other than canceling them.

    They'll have safe spaces though. They're sorted.

    Well the wine bags maybe a goon in Australia (why not fun bags? ), but one of their cheddar companies' names is worse and has recently been cancelled...

    https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/jul/24/australias-coon-cheese-to-change-name-in-effort-to-help-eliminate-racism

    Considering the company was named after a person, I wonder if anyone with the same name should now be reassigned a new one to avoid offence.

    So, we pretty much wiped your whole race when we moved in, and that's ok, we will make up for it by renaming a cheese brand to prevent us from being concerned that you may get offended. It may look like we're doing it for our own self grate-ification but it's not really, we are genuinely concerned about your human rights.

    Candace Owens, a black American conservative, has a book out, Blackout.
    Apparently woke Amazon workers are spreading Vaseline and walking over the cover before shipping it out.
    She is obviously the wrong kind of black person.

    The Australians banned Noddy in the last century.

    They cancelled him ( and Big Ears ).

    It was always considered an offensive term when I was in Brisbane.

    Understandably so, considering how the aborigines behaved, with muggings, drunkenness, violence being directly associated with them, especially around the bus/train station. I didn't have any good experiences with them in the cities. Similar to the way Travellers are considered in Ireland. Racist, yes. Ignorant, kinda.

    They are not all like that, I met loads of decent ones and they are pretty normal. But yeah a lot are treated like we treat travellers, they represent 3% of the population and 28% prison population. Majority of the crimes are committed amongst themselves, murders, child abuse and domestic violence has been part of life for 1000s of years and intertribal wars were common before Europeans turned up.

    A distinction needs to be made though. Aborigines who stay within their communities are generally lovely people, in spite of the poverty they experience. However, aborigines who enter the cities without work/education behind them, lean heavily towards drunkenness, violence and crime. They have the same problem American Indians have with alcohol, which means they easily become addicted and can't handle it well...

    I encountered many aborigines in my time in Brisbane. Some were great, but honestly, many more were either pathetic in their behaviors or outright aggressive with genuine danger being involved. The existence of extremely high numbers of domestic violence by aboriginal males is well recorded. So.. make of it what you will.

    Do they call Aboriginals who use Boomerangs "Boomers" ?

    As opposed to the disgustingly ageist malign terminology used on the internet today? I feel soiled after mentioning the word tbh.

    Seriously, employers should have a few trick questions at interview time to smoke out these kind of asshats.
    Never employ one of these overbearing, excrutiating dimwits - for the health of your business and employees (and reputation)
    Tech companies are full of them and look what they do - be warned.

    I'm now visualizing actual Amazonian natives smearing vaseline on books in Peru, thanks.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I think Candace is what is commonly referred to in the Music industry as a " crossover hit ".

    She is building the bridge between greed, totalitarianism, cross substantiation and transubstantiated millennial wokism.

    She is a pioneer. ( of inclusiveness minorly subjugated )

    Praises Hitler and tweets conspiracy theories and misinformation. Suddenly decided she was a Trump supporter after he won the election after previously identifying as a liberal.

    Only Trump haters talk like that, I am calling fake news and total BS.

    I honestly know very little about her, but I enjoyed many of the "public" debates she had with woke audiences who wanted to harp on about sexism and racism. She and her companions, took the crap, and put it down using logic/statistics.

    Dunno what she's like now. Pretty much everyone who starts that way, ends up a bit of a twat, but that's success for you. All the same, she seems a rather intelligent person, and while I get the Trump hate that is on boards, the alternative choice to follow in the US wasn't/isn't much better.

    That's your bigotry of low expectations. Do you think the aborigines didn't have their own rings and jewellery? Shame on you! :p

    Well, actually.. doing a quick google search and I doubt they were sporting rings like that, traditionally.
