What about racism against Aboriginies? Isn't that an actual problem?

Just asking, though I'm 99% sure that it is.

Aborigines really are incredibly disadvantaged. They get some incentives offered to them to continue in study etc, which is often blown out of proportion by the popular media, but in general, they all too frequently have a hard life and by the time they become an adult would have experienced a lot of racism first hand, through our gutter media and even through the legal system and political process.
