But it's not about Majak Daw, or Liam Jurrah, or any individual. It's about the attitudes that this sort of stuff represents and reinforces within the community, and the flow-on effects that it has on a broader level in society.Race is merely a social construct in the "real world". If people understood this there would a lot less "offence" being experienced.
This is first and last will ever say this: more people should study a little post modernism. there I said it.
Majik Daw doesn't need Malifice or Demetriou being outraged on his behalf. I bet he is doing fine.
What is 'racist'/'racism'?
what is not, 'racist'/'racism'?
I'm Macedonian. I have been called serbian, bulgarian, greek, albanian. I have been told I don't exist. I have been told I am a figment of someones imagination. I have been told I am deluded into even thinking I am anything resembling Macedonian. A Greek acquaintance said he pitied me because I am confused about my identity. I have been threatened, sworn at, ridiculed. One guy said my mother is a slavic whore. I usually reply that I consider myself Australian, and my mother has never accepted money for sexual favors.
This has all happened in Australia mind you. 99% of the time it comes from other 'wogs'. Oh and in primary school I was called a wog by a few aussies because I wasn't born in Australia.
Having traveled overseas I can honestly say your average 'aussie' is one of the most tolerant groups of people in the world. If you want to see racism fly to Greece with a passport surname that ends in 'ski' and you'll witness what real racism is.
Get over yourself Australia. You skippy fish n chip eating NTTAWWTtas arent racist
'Racist'/ 'racism' are words. All words other than these also qualify as words. The serious concept of 'racism' has been rendered meaningless by its overuse and flagrant abuse, to the extent that it's become just another word.

Emotional manipulation.
Rational thought.
sad you feel that way os.
i hate being called a b.... whatever.
The problem is there is always at least two people in any conversation. So there is the teller and the listener.
What a joke!
Btw, does anyone know what that guy said in his tweets about Fabrice Muamba that got him convicted? I never saw the tweets and am curious what he said.
He's clearly a cretin, but how does that "incite racial hatred"? Aside from the "cotton" comment, what there was racist (unless there are tweets which are not posted there), and even including that, how does it incite hatred?
Nothing worthy of being put in jail for.

Until last week, that is, when The Economist magazine looked at possible Scottish independence and decided to have some “fun” at Scottish expense by printing a map of “Skintland” on its cover with the Capital renamed “Edinborrow”.
I understand what The Economist was trying to do, but there is no doubt in my mind that the cover is racially offensive and possibly a criminal act.
For the avoidance of doubt let me quote you the exact words from the Act: (1) A person who publishes or distributes written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting is guilty of an offence if (a) he intends thereby to stir up racial hatred, or (b) having regard to all the circumstances, racial hatred is likely to be stirred up thereby.
The Act helpfully explains what is meant by racial hatred: ‘in this Part “racial hatred” means hatred against a group of persons . . . defined by reference to colour, race, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins.’
I don't think you understand. It's only racism if it is directed towards black people, because all black people carry the burden of their ancestors being slaves and need to be handled with kid gloves. That's what I've been taught by the enlightened ones on these forums.
