One criticism quoted in the article is this:
> "When you’re building 30, 40-storey high rises out of concrete, there’s a big gap between that and an Indigenous way of building."
Which is indeed literally racist. Like White can build towers using concrete but other people should stick with small wood structures or whatever. Spoiler: technology is spreading among people around the world, and Chinese, Arab, Japanese, etc. built skyscrapers despite it not being their traditional way of building.
