Context
Would there be value in pointing out to non-australians that this term originates in indigenous australian vernacular, and that blackfella (Sometimes spelled Blackfulla or Blakfulla) is not generally considered slurs or insults? I've had friends abroad be concerned with the term that it might be considered derogatory. There was an essay by Mudrooroo Nungar, oh about 20 years ago that talked about the term and his preference for "blackfulla" and "mob" over the more formal "aborigine" and "tribe" which he felt carried conotations that didn't quite align with blackfulla experience and history. Unfortunately I've never found the essay online to cite and it may well be lost to the memory hole (I read it when I was a student of Murdoch Uni, and I believe Mudrooroo was alumni of the indigenous studies course there. 103.94.51.49 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 04:37, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
