Unlike what happened to the native Americans and the blacks, the form of slavery that the Brits and Irish did to the Aboriginese was much less abusive, oftentimes letting families stick together in a less well furnished part of the house they served. Raw whipping was extremely unheard of but not entirely unheard of. They preferred to be more gentle and used a paddle or tassled miniwhip and it was more about making the slave submit than retributively hurting them. I'm not saying it was okay, but I am saying it was closer to okay than what you're trying to relate it to here. Raping them was very, very rare. Side: Australia Day
