Original Note:
The man in the photo is Australian, not British. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jun/19/the-legacy-reverberates-how-a-repulsive-image-reminds-us-of-our-ugly-past 'Aborigines' is a racist and outdated term. The correct terms to use would be 'Aboriginals' (less preferred) or either 'First Nations' (preferred) or 'Indigenous' (acceptable). https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2015/08/why-saying-aborigine-isnt-ok-8-facts-about-indigenous-people-in-australia/
