I live in Alice Springs. Unfortunately it is a bad place to be introduced to Aboriginals. The nicer ones live out bush with their tribes (don't trespass). They are mean for a few reasons:
- They have little to no education. They each get 40+k per year from the government, many of them get houses and cars that are paid for by the government. So even with all the education and employment opportunities especially for them, their mentality is "I already get what I need, so why should I work?". They are lazy and think they are entitled to everything,
- They are always drunk or high on drugs (stuff that'll make you violent) - That's what 90% of them spend their government benefits on.
- They come from abusive, drug-addicted families. Their parents were poorly educated, and they are constantly high on drugs, so they are neglectful, angry, and violent. They are poorly disciplined and they grow up by that example. So they see no issue with assault, vandalism, or just being a prick.
