Well it would make sense for biological to be the only way to claim it then.
Otherwise you get grifter politicians trying to claim NZ bikies are Aboriginal.
I dont care what Politicans say. In the absence of self identification, mutual acceptance by Aboriginal people, and descent, your 'NZ Bikie' is not Aboriginal.
Grease the palms of the right people and hey presto, you're now an Aboriginal.
How does 'greasing palms' lead to anyone magically having Aboriginal descent, and being accepted as Aboriginal by other Aboriginal people where they didn't before?
Race is a social construct. I know you cookers and conservatives like to live in some kind of fantasy land where reality doesnt count, but that's the reality of it.
If race is a social construct, then having a 'DNA test' to prove it, doesn't necessarily establish a damn thing (although seeing as most ethnic groups claim a biological basis to membership, such a test is usually sufficient).
A DNA test proves you are or you are not of a specific group.
Identical twins have virtually identical DNA. So you’d think if a set of twins both sent in a DNA sample for genetic ancestry testing, they’d get the exact same results, right?
Not necessarily, according to a recent investigation by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. In fact, the journalists demonstrated that twins don’t often get the same results from a single company. And across the industry, estimates of where an individual’s ancestors lived can differ significantly from company to company.
In one instance, the consumer genetics company 23andMe told one twin she was 13 percent “Broadly European.” The other twin’s test, meanwhile, showed she had just 3 percent “Broadly European” ancestry, and had more DNA matched to other, more specific regions in Europe. What’s more, when the twins had their DNA tested by five companies, each one gave them different results.
Being "accepted" as Aboriginal is peak cooker nonsense.
Yet 10 posts above you posted about 'Obama not being African American because many other African Americans dont think he is African American'.
Are you ****ed in the head?
On a more serious note, who would Russia and China prefer in the White House?
It's safe to say that Israel would prefer Trump - he can't seem to say "No" to Bibi
In a discreet, high-tech lair, far far away, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping huddled together.On a more serious note, who would Russia and China prefer in the White House?

I had a uni lecturer who studied language extensively in the Pilbara. He was treated as a member of the tribe and considered to be 'uncle'. There was no aboriginal ancestry. He would comfortably meet your definition.Only if they have some form of descent. There are three criterion remember (not just self identification, and mutual acceptance).
The element of descent is usually (almost invariably) biological (as in having an Aboriginal parent or grandparent) but it could also be via adoption or similar.
It's theoretically possible an Aboriginal family could adopt a non Aboriginal child, treat and raise that child as an Aboriginal person, and then should that person consider themselves Aboriginal (and should they be accepted as such by other Aboriginal people) they would be legally Aboriginal, despite not having a shred of Aboriginal 'DNA'.
I don't think its ever happened, but it's a possibility.
True, but she was astute enough to not attend Netanyahu's speech. Could be a winning move?Kamala is establishment Democrat to the core. She'll tow the same line as Biden has.
That will be forgotten,but the bookies are warming to Kamala.True, but she was astute enough to not attend Netanyahu's speech. Could be a winning move?
Did I say anything other than that they are gatekeeping a term?
Ok, take a dna test so we can see what you are.Being "accepted" as Aboriginal is peak cooker nonsense.
A DNA test proves you are or you are not of a specific group.
Does not matter one single bit if someone does or doesn't accept you.
The fantasy is thinking it does matter.
Ok, take a dna test so we can see what you are.
I have taken a DNA test. It's already been stated.
This is what happens when you enter a conversation you weren't a part of.
