Poms, banned from Ozz!!!
I read last week an article in the West Australian that some group had apealed to the courts to have the word Pom be classed as racism, the premise from this group of ex UK citezens was that although they didnt mind the word Pom being used they objected to the fact that any collective noun for a chinaman, asian, african etc was deemed to be racist but Pom was ok.
Has anyone heard how they did?
