Re: Americans object to racist aussie ad

Does an aussie even know what constitutes racism:

a quote from the above article

The controversy over the ad puzzled many Australians. On Friday, the Australian newspaper The Age posted a survey online asking if the ad was racist. Of the more than 6,600 votes, 86 percent selected ``no.''

And on Saturday, columnist Rebecca Weisser of the national newspaper The Australian penned a tongue-in-cheek piece mocking the suggestion that the ad proves Australia is a racist country.

``Australians, clearly, are just too pig ignorant to realize just how offensive was this ad,'' she wrote. ``A full 85 percent of them couldn't see what was wrong with it and claimed it was all a misunderstanding, that Americans don't understand anything about West Indians or cricket.''

Weisser pointed to a comment posted on the online video by a user named ``TrueUSMarine'' who wrote that all Australians are ``morons'' if they can't understand why the ad is considered racist.

Americans are like subis . . . they are consistently looking for faults elsewhere to justify themselves.

That's it, final conclusive proof that your brain has decamped permanently from your skull.

An ad, made in Australia, referring to West Indians, is racist because in the USA, there's a stereotype that African Americans in the the southern states eat fried chicken.

So is Australia part of the US? No.
Are the West Indies part of the Southern States of the US? No.

You freaking deluded nobgobbler.

tac, I'm becomiong more of the opinion that the sooner there's a major nuclear accident wiping out the USA, the better.

Also, if the militant forces in Pakistan could step things up a bit, meaning India had to focus more on what's going on in their own backyard, it might be a good thing as well.

it's the same old story . . . I like many americans and subis (even poms) on an individual level, but get more than 5 of them together and they become absolute cockgobblers . . .

So Trev has more than 5 personalities?

Did I get this right? Farky, king of the USA/CIA conspiracy theories, and massive hater of the great US satan, takes the opinion of a US Marine (no less) as gospel.

Farkin gold, Cletus. applause

Here's one Farky will really relate to. The 50 second mark is pretty amusing.

Except when it's Aussies speaking, in which case you're happy to brand us all liars, cheats, racists, anything that suits you. You're worse than Mudge in that. You still haven't found proof of the various allegations you've made against me.

Oh, shit, is that a helicopter?

by buckSH on Fri 08 Jan 2010, 23:20

well there are plenty of aussie posters that I find reasonable.

tac?, Gordon, Mick sawyer and a few others.

G. Wood is also a good sport.

embee also seems to be a good person. Wozzies cop a lot of flack but they are softies inside.

Probably zim too falls in that category.

It's the Victorians and Queenslanders who are the most racist of em all.

horrie, you, skully come from typically liberal states of australia but you folks are some of the most conceited, racist, ignorant and arrogant folk I have come across.

by Zat on Fri 08 Jan 2010, 23:21

You find tac reasonable? You are unhinged.
