Sadly a lot of Australian Aboriginals (particularly younger generations) still living out west in places like Mt Isa, and rural parts of the Northern Territory are extremely alcoholic and there are numerous cases of child molesters. The Government still struggles with ways of helping them and addressing the numerous issues which has been damaging them for so long. Everyone I've known who has lived out there, worked out there, or passed through, sees the same shit and has the same stories. It's bloody horrendous. Besides the odd racist fuckwit, most people want to help and see the communities integrate and thrive. (Most people I know went out as teachers wanting to help etc, came back disillusioned with the whole situation) Sadly, the common theme seems to be a toxic mentality towards outside help and because they are reluctant to branch out this toxic mentality only thrives within the communities.
Probably the worst part which I find disheartening, is the original culture and customs are dying out with the later generations. There are some beautiful historical traditions, culture, stories, and languages which are fast disappearing due to a break in relationships between the younger generations and the elders. (Potentially due to the abuse and other issues)
I don't claim to know all about it, but it is quite sad to see them slowly destroy themselves despite a lot of effort from modern society to reach out only to have the hand bitten and then silently retreat. To see certain communities burn through the goodwill and golden hearts of some of the most generous and caring people I know is quite depressing.
The few Aboriginal mates I had growing up have either committed suicide, ended up in gangs, or fallen off the radar completely. It's just fucking sad. To me, I felt like the younger generations were fine getting along with each other without interference, but both sides are eventually weighed down with the history of different cultures which don't exist any more. I've never seen a truer realisation of "The sins of the fathers, are passed onto their sons."

I just happened to have read a bit yesterday about Margaret Sanger (found of Planned Parenthood). She once famously said that Aborigines were only one step removed from chimps, which resulted in sexual mayhem (paraphrasing).

In Romania we have "cocalari": awful hairstyle, very bad music preferences (trap and" manele", some gypsy shit), mostly dumb. Let's not forget Bieber-like clothes! Anyways, they mostly live in Bucharest (I rarely saw on other regions).
PS: I re-read my comment and it sounds like I'm talking about some animal species, but cocalars are not that far anyways.

People think Arizonans just want to throw beaners in potato sacks and toss them back over the wall into Mexico while we shoot six-shooters wildly into the air.

People from Volendam are incestuous cheeseheads who snort coke at breakfast.
Achterhoekse aren't Christian at all, they all belong to a secret cult offering dead lifestock to motorcross bikes.
Brabanders drink too much.
Nijmegenaren are borderline anarcho-communist.
People from Amsterdam never leave their town, accept through Schiphol to go on holiday.
The national sport is trying to photograph someone in Staphorst, and not get beaten up.
If Fryslân declared it wants to be its own country, the reaction of the rest of the country would be "k bye, have fun lol".
Limburg is awesome, and the rest of the country wants to be just as cool, except for all the rampant xenophobia.
Only farmers live in Twente.
You can drop a bomb on Land van Maas en Waal or Drenthe, and no one would notice for a few weeks.

Hippies are the worst. They dont shower, they have too many animals, they eat organic foods because they are "healthier" yet they smoke a pack a day. I see them in my clinic fairly often and I'm about to start saying "we don't serve your kind here". Then they don't follow medical advice! You have cancer! Crystals won't fix that!
