The obvious reason that most Australians do not know of Australian Kriol is that it is, like true indigenous languages, spoken by relatively few people – on one estimate, perhaps 30,000, most of them in northern WA and the Northern Territory. However, that makes it easily the most popular non-English language spoken among indigenous people in WA and the NT, and that is probably why Macgowan was using a Kriol translator.
OMG, that way of putting it will not convince anyone that Hanania has really given up being a racist. I spent several nice hours this Shabbat with Aaron Robertson's "The Black Utopians" mostly about the Shrine of the Black Madonna in Detroit which is so uninfluential today that Henry Louis Gates, Jr. did not name it in either his Black church book or show but which hosted almost every Black Power/Black nationalist person that came through Detroit in the 1960s and 1970s. Malcolm X's "Message To The Grassroots" was given there. One person's "oppositional culture" can easily be another person's utopia. The point that MAGA people may be convinced that they need radicalism by the at least rhetorical radicalism of the identity-politics leftists of all races that are their enemies may be sound.
After Trump was elected Glenn Loury wrote about what he feared Trump would do in terms entirely appropriate to the Stoltz Professor of Economics at Brown and he really cannot consistently defend Amy Wax and not stand up to what Trump wants to do to American universities and academic freedom.
