fake hate crime

Look in the mirror, dude. You are describing yourself, not me. Whenever you feel that you are 'losing' an argument you engage in absurd personal attacks such as this. This is about the 5th time now in the same number of threads.

Then report me. If I really am doing what you claim - which I'm not - then I will be infracted for doing so. Now, kindly answer my questions, or admit you don't know what you're talking about, as I strongly suspect.

If anyone should be talking about being victims of crimes it definetly isn't the minorities.

Help! We whites are being oppressed!!!

And I suspect you both dont know what you're talking about.

Back it up or it's trolling.

You can have it both ways. Say, "The government forces you to be a blacksmith, with the pay as much as other employed blacksmith." You're both being favored (if you can't get blacksmith job normally), or cursed (if you don't want to be a blacksmith in the first place).

I was merely referring to this specific instance. That being the fact that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people receive many benefits as a result of various pieces of legislation, but sometimes complain at other bits of legislation that try to solve their unique problem by restrictions, like the banning of alcohol. Note that this is a very big generalisation and stereotype that probably is not true in the vast majority of cases. Just my slightly unsubstantiated gripe.

And perhaps I should've worded it as, "You shouldn't be able to have it both ways", as opposed to, "You can't have it both ways."

@Camikaze: Yep, that's what I agree with. Just give them one-off benefit for the handicapped starting line they have.

Yeah, you would know what that looks like, wouldnt you?

I enjoy plenty of music from the 70s. I have no reservations about this. This is not like an "Oh dissed" moment.

Everything. Apparently, you disagree. Oh, well.

What part of "it is still happening" do you have difficulty comprehending? While I agree that affirmative action quotas don't make much sense anymore, the rest is simply untrue.

Very well, if it's still happening then these policies are stupid, misguided attempts to make up for unpleasantness in the past and present by punishing innocent citizens.
It doesn't change my point that the people who suffer from affirmative action are not the ones who acted such that affirmative action needed to be put in place.
Hate crime is still a joke. Motive doesn't matter; intent does. It was a great man who mentioned not making windows into men's souls, and it's a point LordRahl has brought up in this thread, but he skipped a few of the intermediate stages when he compared hate crime directly to thought crime. I'll spell it out:
the difference between a hate crime and a normal crime is what the person thinks. If we can judge criminality on the basis of what a person thinks then we implicitly agree with the concept of thought crime. Thought crime is a horror that forms the central feature of many dystopias.
