I heard a rumour here in Oz that the aboriginals used to eat the Chinese migrant workers of the 19th century. It is corroborated in this report from Carl Lumholtz in 1908. They were also disgusted at the thought of eating whites but they would eat mixed race children.
@Tom_Rowsell A group of whites avenged the eating of a Chinese man in Queensland in the 1880s. From UP RODE THE SQUATTER (1970) by Hector Holthouse
@BooksBonfire @Tom_Rowsell "All of them [Aboriginals] agreed that Chinamen made the best eating" "The sole purpose of the raid had been to obtain a meal of fresh-cooked Chinaman" Lmao this is absolutely wild
