Australia racist? Well, der! : Comments

By Bill Collopy, published 30/8/2010

Australians like to think we left xenophobia behind with the days when we couldn't buy bok choy at the supermarket.

If Wyatt is "aboriginal" them I'm chinese.

It's about time we looked at 'looks' to help determine race.

If a bloke looks more 'white' than black....safe guess he is predominantly 'white'.

Er, tell me again Boazy, why exactly do we need to 'determine race'?

Bill,
Name one race that isn't racist.The very nature of our humanity is insecurity,thus our tribalism seeks the security of a common identity.

You Bill,are guilty of being an intellectualist.You have a select group who feel superior to all the ignorant racists,thus are guilty of the very crimes of your perceived inferiors.

You are using the moral high ground to gratify the very same insecurities of the racists.You want to be something special by labeling racists as a lesser class to yourself.By definition, an intellectualist is no better than a racist.

AlGore,

"It's about time we looked at 'looks' to help determine race.

That's not much different from using looks or skin colour to determine social status, intelligence or tendency toward criminality is it?

If you only see things in those terms, maybe you've been hanging out with those BNP Neo-Nazis too long.

Even Jesus probably looked more like Yassur Arafat than some matinee screen idol.

Have you ever been on the receiving end of continual racial prejudice I wonder. Not the cheap "reverse-racism" all-purpose excuse but the real thing?
