I was not aware not following the afl

 

[Bobby DIGital]

tell me

which nation should Australia aspire to for its lack of racism?

Serious answer: New Zealand.

Yothu Yindi sang of an Australian treaty which was broken. We have a real treaty in NZ (although controversial to some).

Got to love throw away comments like this... And what research have you completed to say that, hand on heart, 50% of this country are racist...? That's a massive generalisation

I don't need to research, it's for all to see in the media and for people defending.
Just because you refuse to acknowledge it doesn't make it so.

New tagline???

VFL: the White Australia Game....

:lol:

No need for facts. You 'feel' 50% f Australians are racist.

 

[Shorty]

my point is that racism exists in every country and as an immigrant myself I can tell you Australia is probably the least racist country that I know of\

so you implying Australia has some sort of unique problem with racism is quite incorrect

Immigrant? From where?

The important thing is her feelings trump yours because she's more of a minority voice.

Guess this thing is a big deal in Australia. Go to a schoolboy rugby game in NZ and you see about 4 hakas by the time you leave:lol:

So you were guessing..? Got it

Just because you say it, doesn't make it so

 

[Canard]

OkAfter living in the UK, well London, for many years it was noticeable upon my return how "casually" racist we are.

Now that's not to say Poms aren't privately, but Londoners definitely are more guarded in there every day behaviour when it comes to race and religion.

 

[adamkungl]

I think we should consider the fact that war dances are super f**king lame and non-intimidating also.

And what evidence do you have that rebukes it? Cause...I mean we have all indigenous spokes people and sports stars standing by Goodes, or are they wrong?

 

[chrisD]

Ugh, don't wade the NRL into AFL bullshit.

 

[God-King Dean]

Pmsl


Someone has to rebuke YOUR claim?

 

[ACTPanthers]

I don't, hence why I never made the claim that ALL Australians aren't racist - You're the one making claims without evidence - To say 50% of Australians are racist is a generalisation, IMO.

I haven't said anything about the validity of Goodes claim he is being booed because of race, I merely pointed out your generalisation of Australians being 50% racist, which, IMO, is wrong (notice how I threw in the IMO part...?)

 

[God-King Dean]

No need for research

Excellent initiative by JT who I ordinarily don't have a lot of time for.

What really grinds my gears are the tonnes of people doling out advice to Adam Goodes about "getting on with it" and "let your game do the talking". I wonder how exactly it is that you would react if you were a black man who had publicly been called an "ape", "King Kong" and told to go back to the zoo. Imagine what's been said to him outside the public forum over the years?
