That's because the aborigines are not niggers. They are abos.

Have you considered that 'equality' may no be such an objective thing as you make out? I would argue that its highly subjective and what some people may regard as 'equal' others regard as ridiculously 'unequal' and offensive.

It seems from your arguments that you see 'equality' and a black and white issue (pun intended in this case) - whereas for the rest of the workd it more complex and subtle.

Take a gander:

Denying that there is no issue, is like denying that climate change has not been exacerbated by man.

I don't see it a simple issue, but simply put, I think that equality is having the same rights and freedoms to do whatever anyone else does in a certain area.

Read my post properly - I never mentioned SA. If you want to do so then that's your issue but irrelevant to my post.

Here's free American society in action. Let it be a lesson to all of us and a shining example to aspire to.

I suppose if it is done that way in America, then the rest of the word must accept that, as, after all, America is always right...

So if it is OK for an Italian to call a Greek a Wog, or a Greek to call an Italian a wog, then using your definition we can all do the same.
