- defrost 2y agoIn practice both paths were bad in varying ways, it's just that one was paved with a disregard for others, the second paved with good intentions. eg: Daisy Bates oozed good intentions https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/bates-daisy-may-83 https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/bates-daisy-may-83 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Bates_(author) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Bates_(author) and strongly put the case that: "As to the half-castes, however early they may be taken and trained, with very few exceptions, the only good half-caste is a dead one." and a number of other firm opinions that spawned a regime of hugging "the good ones" to death while abusing the "in betweens". But yeah, good intentions.
