You're not helping anything. Shit like that just builds resentment.
Anything that challenges the status quo is inevitably going to make some people uncomfortable.
Only in people who would resent others for wanting equity and equality (in their country!!!), so you're saying much more about yourself there than you are about me, while helping absolutely no one (apart from perhaps the people who published that article, because you do prove them right, so not entirely useless I suppose), so as is always the case with bigots, your stance seems to be projection all the way down.
Editing here because I can't seem to respond further - in other words what you're saying is indigenous people advocating for themselves and explaining in depth and with great sensitivity why they would appreciate you, a coloniser of their land, celebrating in different ways that perhaps take in to account the centuries of continued marginalisation they endure, are in fact making themselves the other.
Not you, literally resenting them for "ruining" your "fun day" while wilfully choosing to completely ignore them speaking up for themselves (I guarantee you didn't read through the linked article or put your bias around the subject aside for even a millisecond) in favour of maintaining your own comfort in the way things are.
I'll give you one thing - that mental gymnastics would almost be impressive, if it wasn't the same bullshit every bigot pulls when faced with even the slightest request of change to the status quo.
It's a shame you can't see how pathetic you look from the outside.
I'm done engaging with you, bigot.
