Here's my experience right, I knew one aboriginal girl in high school and one elder aboriginal bloke in my neighbourhood.

Starting with the girl in high school she started off like everyone when we all transitioned from middle to high so you had a bit of nervous, bit of timid until she made friends, I was one of them for awhile. As she became more comfortable she became more open about her extremist views and openly blamed white people for ruining her life. It didn't make much sense to us because frankly she had it pretty good, better than I did at any rate so we all got a bit sick of her.

The bloke in my neighbourhood is a totally different story, he is charismatic, funny, open and charming as hell. I've never heard him speak a bad word to anyone and I swear he's about as quality a friend as you could hope for.

When it comes down to it this reflects a lot in my own personality and that of my friends in a lot of ways. When we were young we all had our phases, for awhile we didn't like the Japanese because we were being taught about their whaling. At another point we weren't happy with the Chinese because we didn't like how they were very rude tourists.

Anyway long and short we're older now and those things just don't come up anymore, we became more mature and less extremist with our views. You'll find exceptions, adults who just never grew up but for the most part you can always expect teenagers and young adults to be a little bit stupid but we all grow out of it.
