As a black person I think I kind of understand what Europeans must have thought about Africans when they arrived in Africa.When I look at Aboriginal Australians I don't feel any kinship with them. They might as well be fauna. I'm sure if I actually met an abo and we could converse etc that would change and my paradigms would change. But shit, I understand why blacks were dehumanised and othered. It's not about being evil, it's a genuine struggle to try and expand your circle of empathy to those outside of your tribe.

Well, it is pretty much that. Until you meet someone and converse with them you will be inclined to feel detached and wary of them, that's simply human nature. Onl after establishing some mutual bond can one start to feel moe relaxed around another group. Take African bushmen fir example. On the surface they may seem like a primative group, completely distant to us but listen in and join them for a bit and you'll see that they're a harmless, usually happy and fun loving people.
The difference is that black people look human. White people always saw black Africans as human until recently (the past 500 years), Greeks respected black Africans, the Japanese thought black skin was cool, since they portrayed Buddha in black.
But aboriginals don't look human. What other race is there where all the people look exactly the same?

>What other race is there where all the people look exactly the same?
Depends on the maturity/education/cultural exposure level of the person you are asking
hmm is 4chan really a place for such discussion?

Let me tell you something, everyone likes to say all Asians look alike but even they have more variation in the face than aboriginals

I was going to mention Asians actually, but Asia is a big place with so many different ethnic groups. Its a shame that the MSM has brainwashed people into thinking Asian = Chinese, Japanese etc.
Central Asia is virtually ignored in the western world and that place is so culturally diverse its not funny
Why do aboriginals look like this in the first place? Native New Zealanders look like Polynesians, don't they?

not the same lineage

Abos aren't Polynesian. If the Maoris had bothered to go to Australia the abos would have been genocided like the morioris

So where do aboriginals come from? They look vaguely African but that's only because of the dark skin and the large noses.

Homo erectus about 20000 years ago when land bridges through Indonesia led to Australia. After the bridges disappeared they were isolated for several thousand years

from Wikipedia:
A comparison between Aboriginal Australian, European, and Asian genomes indicated that Aboriginals are more closely related to Asians than they are to Europeans. The comparison also showed that Europeans are significantly more similar genetically to Asians than they are to Aboriginal Australians, indicating an extended period of Aboriginal genetic isolation.

Aboriginals are from south east asia. Polynesians are from Taiwan

They come from the human lineage
Whites and asians split from blacks a while ago. But abbos split even earlier.
