A #reactionary #crypto #techbro (but I repeat myself) has self-funded his own unofficial #NoCampaign for the upcoming Australian referendum on the #Indigenous #VoiceToParliament. To that end, he made various online video ads fearing an algorithmically-generated person of colour expressing their concerns about listening to #Aboriginal people when they say they want to be listened to.
Faced with the predictable backlash (and #FreePublicity, who would have thought it?), his response (only slightly translated): "how could you possibly think my ads opposing listening to Indigenous people would depict an Aboriginal person? Don't you realise that I'm targeting people who *don't* want to hear from Aboriginal voices? Why would I pick a fake Aboriginal person to make a #fearmongering claim about people falsely claiming to be Aboriginal? And anyway, I can always tell at a glance with 100% accuracy whether someone is Aboriginal or not, can't everyone?"
