The show is inherently racist and exceptionalist. Aborigines are good, noble, wise, and with the right to override everyone else. The "white" humans are racist and evil. A revolution by the non-human minority is good. The ideology behind this is more extreme and racist than the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
shareEvery show like this has racist elements. That's the point. People, throughout history, do terrible things to people that are in some way different (of course that's when they're not doing terrible things to their own people). It's just using our own history of violence and racism as a basis for a plot in a parallel universe (or wherever or whenever the show is set)
This show doesn't portray any particular group narrowly. There are many decent white people in the show. Just as there are some terrible aborigine and harry peoples, and many things in between.
To the OP:
I really don't get how you could claim the show is racist when it's clearly a metaphor about the racism that Aboriginal people have always had to deal from their fellow white Australian citizens for a couple of centuries now. A show is NOT racist merely for bringing up the subject of racism---only racists say that dumb s***. Y'all are just pissed off that anything brings up the subject at all.
And bringing up and dealing with the subject of racism is NOT racist in and of itself---I'll say it again. If you can't figure out the damn difference between the two, look it the hell up. Also, since it's always been the other way around--white people being presented as the good, perfect people or victims, and people of color being portrayed as the evil villains or the dangerous one throughout movie and TV history, nothing wrong with finally flipping the script every now and then. Having seen the whole series, it's a little more complicated and disturbing than that, but all this bull**** you're claiming about the show being racist is just that---bull****. You're just not used to seeing anything about racism from the point of view of people who have actually had to deal with racism as a devastating part of their lives and history. And, of course, you probably haven't bothered to actually watch the whole entire show, like I did.
You're a f^cking idiot. Then don't watch it.

Actually they didn't have to make this with Hairy's just the real story. The story of how white immigrants invading Aborginals' lands, took their children away from them, and put them in institutions. This was legally done to assimilate them. They even married them to whites beacuse inn a generate or two their children appeared white. Basically, they were attempting to wipe them off the face of the earth.
You know like what whites fear from brown and black people?
I suggest you hold your nose and watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252444/ Rabbit Proof Fench. The two stories of two little girls who were taken, escaped and crossed a desert with no food or water to get back to their people.
Yeah, I know the truth hurts.
Suck it up and deal with it and stop whining about the truth.
