Rabbit Proof Fence

This image is 86% bullshit. The car is historically accurate, though.

Rabbit Proof Fence is a film based on a true story about two young Aborigine girls running away from an evil and scheming white man who in reality was deeply concerned when they went missing and searched desperately to find them. It's the sort of film loved by those who thought Boys Don't Cry was one hundred percent accurate and unbiased.

Australians Hate Historical Accuracy

It's a well documented fact that filmmakers from Australia generally have no regard for truth or accuracy, and as such glorious ex-pats have shat all over the facts in films like Braveheart, which was full of shit and starred Mel Gibson, and Gallipoli - utter bullshit which blamed the British for Australian fuck-ups, and also starred Mel Gibson. Seeing a trend here?

The truth of the matter is white people did lots of bad things to the indigenous population - things which were so much worse than condemning white people to a life of misery and enslavement in Australia for stealing a loaf of bread.

Rabbit Proof Fence's chief antagonist is historical figure A. O. Neville, the Chief Protector of Aboriginals in Western Australia, a man who was loved by the Aborigines he cared for, and was determined to preserve their arts, history and culture. The Aborigines burned with a deep and passionate hatred for this man, one so deep that when he died, they tried to troll his family by sending hundreds of letters of condolence and thanks for all his hard work.

Neville wrote a book titled Australia's Coloured Minority, in which he proved he was a racist who NEEDED TO BURN.

“	I make no apologies for writing the book, because there are things which need to be said. So few of our own people as a whole are aware of the position [of the coloured people of Australia]. Yet we have had the coloured man amongst us for a hundred years or more. He has died in his hundreds, nay thousands, in pain, misery and squalor, and through avoidable ill-health. Innumerable little children have perished through neglect and ignorance. The position, in some vital respects, is not much better today than it was fifty years ago. Man is entitled to a measure of happiness in his life. Yet most of these people have never known real happiness. Some are never likely to know it. The causes of their condition are many. Mainly it is not their fault, it is ours, just as it lies with us to put the matter right.	„
—That's right. Taking responsibility for your race's crimes and wanting to make things better makes you a RACIST DOUCHE.

He should have tried to be more like the paragon of unracism, Abraham Lincoln:

	“	"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.	„
	—Honest Abe, hero of Black People everywhere.

Trolling Rabbit Proof Fence Fans

Since denying that Aborigine children were sometimes taken from their parents is easily countered by historical evidence they were, you're better off suggesting that Rabbit Proof Fence might be slandering the reputation of a hero to the Aborigine people. Expect foot stamping and screaming lulz.
