Why do people make generalised comments about people making generalised comments? Smacks of generalisation to me. I'm drowning in a sea of introspection and yoghurt mixed with jelly babies.

Dont know much about aussie rules or goodes but it seems some aussie yokels are actually saying that calling him an ape and telling him to go back to the zoo are not racist just crowd banter. The mind boggles.
booing by opposition fans is part and parcel of any sport calling someone an ape has not and never should be.

http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jul/30/adam-goodes-should-apologise-says-mother-of-girl-who-called-him-an-ape
You couldn't make this up. The girl's mother is calling for an apology. He didn't press charges, said she wasn't to blame to begin with and was pointing it out because of the fact she was a child and it wa indicative of the environment she was brought up in. If anyone should be apologising to the child, it's her own f**king mother, for bringing her up thinking it was okay to call Goodes an ape, and for using her as a pawn in the media. F**king hell, the mind boggles. |

On the subject of Aussies, they have reality tv show about the perception of refugees and asylum seekers in Australia and are trying to get people to look at them in a different light. They're bringing reality TV to a whole new level.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

I loved this comment: “She’d only turned 13 five days beforehand. She was technically still 12. She had no idea what she was saying.”

Indeed. And whose f**king fault was that? Her comments cannot be doing anything other than making her daughter, and others, think it is alright to call Goodes an ape. She's a complete disgrace as a mother, as a person and as an Australian. |

Christ. And I used to think Eddie McGuire was alright.
* May 24, 2013: Goodes stops playing and points out a young Collingwood supporter in the crowd who called him an ape during Sydney's clash with the Magpies at the MCG - the opening game of Indigenous Round. The 13-year-old girl later apologises to Goodes, saying she didn't understand it was a racial slur
* May 29, 2013: Collingwood president Eddie McGuire fans the flames of the controversy when he suggests on his morning radio show that Goodes be involved in the promotion of a visiting production of the musical 'King Kong'. He quickly apologises for the gaffe |

You're right there. When the travellers who run channel 4 commission programmes from the travellers who run the independent production companies they're really letting themselves down |

Travellers are not a race. They are just a bunch of people that choose to live in caravans. And because of their lifestyle choice their choice of mating with settled folk has diminished so much that they inbreed and share genetics.
If we are going to start calling them a race then we might as well start calling the Royal families of Europe a race. |

Being home from oz 2months ago i dont mind tarnishing them as an openly racist lot. They will admit it too. Their fed up with the majority of indigenious people raping the system and being looked after. But also the irish, the lebs, the chinease, the muslims they all get it. All down to the fact that australia has a country is still quite young and struggles for its own identity

I have met only about 5 australian people in my life. But I will say that I haven't liked one of them yet.

The indigenous (note the correct spelling) population "raping" the system is really so much worse than the system and population that figuratively and, in certain instances, literally raped them and their ancestors. Oh no wait, it's not. They're (again, note the correct spelling of "they're", as in "they are") kind of entitled to be upset. The indigenous population, I mean, not the White Australians.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.... Thousands of years later the empire sent forth it's subjects and they created a whole raft of new countries in the east, west, north and south.... Edited by eire77 - 31 Jul 2015 at 2:23am |
