When I first came to class last week and begun watching the movie, I could not help but think of how sad that story was. I thought, "wow, this writer really made up some sad stuff". By the end of the movie, I realized just how naive I had been to think that this was something that was fabricated. As I continued to watch the movie, unable to pull myself away from the story, even staying late just to see the ending I googled to see if this was true. When I found out that it was I way appalled. I could not believe that this was something that had happened and that had continued to happen until the 1970's. As I thought back to the movie, I could not help but remember how the main male lead would constantly comment on how what he was doing for the aboriginal people was for their own good. How is it even possible for someone to think that wanting to wipe out a group of people is okay? This took me back to a class I took last semester when we learned about how the Nazis were practicing eugenics. It seems that situations like this happen and have happened more often than people wound think and are never really presented into mainstream society. I had never even heard of eugenics until I came to college and I never believed that people thought their race was so "superior" that they would essentially breed out different races. This cartoon really reminded me of how ridiculous it is to try to make a "perfect person".

Yeah I agree with a lot of the points that you are making. History does repeat itself a lot, and sometimes when we think as a society. Even now we can't escape history, because there seems to be one "ideal" race. That image has historically and remains to be "white."A lot of cosmetic surgeries and genetics and other products produced in are society seem to be geared toward helping people create the "ideal" image. It sucks, but I think we are still a long ways away from resolving these things. There are too many underlying stereotypes, and cultural norms that dictate what everyone thinks and feels.
I also didn't realize that this was based off of a true story until the end either. There were some parts that really amazed me. I couldn't believe that those girls walked hundreds of miles back home twice! Unfortunately, I have to agree with what you two are saying - history does repeat itself and this discrimination occurs all over the world today. This treatment isn't okay, quite unfortunately, although we're beginning to move forward, it is going to take a long time before we see complete change.
I find your picture funny, how they have put in graphic trying to make a person to became perfect. Well, defining perfect by races or people that think that they are the best or that everyone should be like them or they should be the only one existing.
"I had never even heard of eugenics until I came to college and I never believed that people thought their race was so "superior" that they would essentially breed out different races."
I think this is a very interesting reflection of what high schools leave out of history. There are places like Texas where history is deliberately altered to fit a certain ideology (if you haven't heard, the textbooks make capitalism--excuse me, the free-enterprise system--look good and the slave trade is referred to as the triangular trade: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/13/education/13texas.html?_r=0). Knowing that eugenics is also cut from middle school and early high school curriculum doesn't surprise me, but you'd think that higher level classes would step it up. My AP US HIstory and Euro teachers weren't afraid to tell us the brutalities of both sides during wars. Why do other teachers think eugenics should be left out of the mix?
