An Indigenous elder and activist has defended Sydney Swans star Adam Goodes' controversial and spontaneous performance of an Indigenous 'war dance' on the field and declared that Australia is racist against its Indigenous population. During his appearance on ABC's Q&A on Monday night, Jack Charles, also an actor and musician, made the comment when asked if Goodes was being 'too sensitive' after being racially discriminated against following his traditional dance. 'No, he's not being too sensitive… you don't know it, but we see it: Australia itself is uniquely racist against Aboriginal Australians and I can't put it any more succinctly than that,' Charles said.Indigenous elder and activist Jack Charles made the comments on Q&AHe defended Sydney Swans star Adam Goodes' war dance as 'celebration'Goodes performed the 10-second Indigenous dance after a goal on FridayIt was dubbed 'aggressive' and involved simulating a spear-throwing actCharles said it was a 'joy' to watch and it helps people 'accept our culture'Racist vandals changed Adam Goodes' Wikipedia page in online attack
