The indigenous population of Australia is very small, numerically (like around 1%), but in a lot of the places where big Australian movies are set, there should be more indigenous people around.

Then you get things like the Mad Max movie where there were roles for indigenous actors and...Americans didn't recognise that and complained they were all white.

...didn't recognize what? That indigenous actors had roles? Or...i'm confused about what you're saying. There are two characters with spoken lines with some Maori ancestry in MMFR, and one other (Toast) who is a person of Black/Jewish/Russian decent.

They didn't recognise that any actors apart from Zoe Kravitz weren't white.

I think it's actually more like 2.5%-3%.

I agree, places where Aussie media is set should have more representation - like media set in Sydney. (NSW has the highest Indigenous population of the states and territories, with IIRC a large proportion centering in Sydney.) (That may have been what you meant, but I am choosing to be sassy about it for those who may not have known that).

Not quite sure what you meant by the casting comment. I assume something about how people identify as Indigenous in Australia is different to, say, the US? But that doesn't change that there weren't Indigenous Australian actors in Fury Road as far as has been reported... so, confused.
