Re: Jackson Jive

Neither have I, to be honest. But I tend to hear it on the Brit shows we get on the ABC, so meh. Same thing goes for Yankee.

Re: Jackson Jive

Yep, 'Paki' is not considered a racist slur here, any more than 'Aussie', 'Kiwi' or 'Abbo' is, although the thought police are now trying to criminalise these words. It's ironic, isn't it? These...

Re: Jackson Jive

In general, Australians don't attempt to justify themselves when foreigners have the audacity to project their own cultural retardation onto us, we just roll our eyes and tell you pussies to *suck it...

Re: Shame on you Australia

Yeah, I know. I'm just pointing out that it seems to be acceptable to stereotype certain groups of people (men, especially aboriginal men, as violent abusers), whereas it is taboo to do likewise to...

Re: Shame on you Australia

Indeed. Whites are often portrayed as racists, and men as violent abusers. Yet there is very little outcry regarding such negative stereotypes. But if I had the audacity to suggest that Muslims are...

Re: Jackson Jive

How is it semantical for me to point out that you failed to provide a citation where I state that 'anything goes' in regards to Aussie humour?

Good. I'll take you posting irrelevant quotations as an admission that I said no such thing.

Re: Shame on you Australia

I don't hear a similar argument when white Australians (or white whatevers) are singled out as racists. Or more on topic, I don't see the same argument adopted when men are singled out as violent...

Re: Shame on you Australia

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. A significant amount of funding and numerous services are provided for the Aboriginals, but delivery of those services to remote areas is logistically...

Re: Jackson Jive

Even assuming it was a joke about race (*speculation*), why is it 'unacceptable'? Racism will no longer be a problem the day people of all races can laugh at jokes over such trivial differences,...

Re: Jackson Jive

Who made fun of black people's skin colour? More importantly, how would that qualify as racism?

Let's not forget that racism is defined as:

Re: Jackson Jive

Witness the concept of 'original sin' and 'white guilt'. It's more acceptable to patronise and belittle the white people of today, because some of the white people in the past were assholes. Thank...
