But what has racism to do with whaling, fishing, shooting and whatever?
Are Canadians racists too? They kill baby seals just for the fur.
I have a question: "Do Norwegians eat whale meat?"
As I read the bbc news that centrajapan cites, I fail to see what the fundamental difference is between hunting millions of wild kangaroos (commercially) and hunting whales in a sustainable way. Both are mammals (seems that matters to some people, I don't know why), both are wild, both are eaten and other parts used effectively, both are adorable creatures to many people (if you poll Japanese kids for popularity, I bet kangaroos would win 9 to 1), both are valuable as tourist attraction, and the list goes on.
Could someone present a convincing argument that would justify one type of hunting over another? If you say you oppose both, I think that's an opinion that I can respect.
Nobody cares to answer my question?

Your statements are the most racially motivated on this forum. I have no respect for you or what you say. Your arguments are steeped in anger and aggression, maybe too much mercury in your diet. Your show disrespect to past indigenous Australians by comparing them to kangaroos you are no better then the racists that perpetrate such horrendous acts.
The symbol of Australia. Kangaroos are getting the same treatment as the Indegenous Australians. They are killed for fun.
You call me an idiot you can't even spell. And well done on the 3 languages, but maybe you need to brush up on your English.Rose.
I think you are an idiot with simplific double morals which would be good on a comedy show. I hope not all Aussies are as dumb as you are but listening to the Oz government I am not holding my breath.
I never said anything about Indegenous Australians killing kangaroos. But you are against the indegenous Japanese killing whales.
Get the difference? Get a clue.
Go home. That is a prison in Hull.
Don't you see how much disrespect you are showing to those people who have died? Australians don't use the term 'nigger' as you so thoughtfully blanked out, so even though you think you know it all you don't. You don't know the halve of it. Aboriginal people are still dying today, you have no understanding or empathy for humans, so I can see how you would have no empathy for whales. You think by googling Australian Aboriginals on the internet will get you all the information you need for an argument, but you need to know more then mere facts to sustain a good argument.When you are able to speak as many langaues as moi until then you should clap it. I agree with you though. My spelling sucks. I understand 5 langauges. How many languages do you understand? I don't need to brush on my English because I am able to out debate you in your native tongue my 3rd language. Actually I am brushing up my English with this constructive discussion.
Australians used to go n.... hunting into the 1960s. Today they go kangaroo hunting. Its barbaric and they are against Japanese eating whales. Please. I hope you see the double standards.
Yes yes yes. If Aborinagal people still are dying why not make a better effort for them instead of using energy on stopping Japan to eat non endangered ecological whales?
I have never been to Australia. Id like to. But I have read a little Australian history and it is not all sunshine.
No it is not all sunshine, but a new kind of history is beginning to be written in Australia in an attempt to include indigenous Australians into the historical record. The stolen generations are finding their people again and this can only be beneficial to all Australians. The efforts I make to improve the lives of indigenous people in Australia I do every day, the first of which is zero tolerance of any sort of racism.
