Since I was very young indeed I have observed that a strong indicator of bigotry is when ALL the members of a particular demographic are tarred with the same brush when one or some of their number transgress, where if the transgression is by a member (or members) of the bigot's own group, it's just 'that guy...'

It may amaze you all to know that sexism, misogyny, rape, sexual harassment, domestic violence etc etc are all alive and well in every ethnic demographic in this country, including your own.

It would do us all a lot of good to look at the way our society in general treats and marginalises women, so we can educate our young to respect women rather than remember about the existence of sexual predation only when it suits a bigoted agenda.

ozzie,

"You try to deny facts....."

Where did I deny facts?

I asked for definition of "Swedish parent" (which you have just furnished) which apparently means a parent (of any race) who was born in Sweden.

(If you bother replying, don't forget to include the passage where "I denied the facts")

jcro,

Well said.

(I'm sorry to say that if you wish to experience a goodly dose of consisitent Oz-flavoured bigotry, you've come to the right place:(

You are right of course jcro. Poirot is a good example of one. If you are not all for importing as many Muslims into Australia then she dislikes you immensely.

I’m a special breed. I’m Simple Minded Bigot. Poirot told me so. Have a closer look at what Indy said. I agree with him.

Indy: The imported variety however does not have individualism as a general rule (of course they have intelligent exceptions) which is bound by a culture of religious fanaticism & not individualism. I rather have to deal with a few isolated criminals than a whole horde of hate indoctrinated. That is the crucial difference.

Jayb likes to refer to himself as a "simple-minded bigot (who am I to argue:)

Far from actually calling Jayb a "simple-minded bigot", I do recall referring to simple-minded bigotries...and it seems Jayb recognised himself in that description.

Who'd have known?.......

Dear SOG,

We should wait until the man's court-case is heard
on Monday, 5th August 2013 before pre-judging him.
There appears to be more to the case then was
originally reported in the Daily Telegraph.
The man went around shaking hands with people and
trying to greet them - on the beaches of Dee Why.
It could well be that perhaps a misunderstanding
took place. I'm not trying to excuse the man's
behaviour, don't get me wrong. All I'm doing is
saying - let's wait until all the facts are in.
According to the man's son - his father is a good man,
and totally denies that he did anything wrong.
Lets wait and see what the court decides. He's only here
on a tourist visa and plans on returning to Egypt.
