Fairfax is gutter journalism.

True journalism can be seen in pieces done by Sky, The Australian etc.
& That is why certain people despise the journalism published by Sky/The Australian because it reveals the truth, doesn't stump to new lows of political correctness and doesn't turn journalism into novel creation.
 
was only a couple of days ago i googled yellow peril cos i heard it was racist and thought wtf?

Means about as much to the average 21st Australian as black face. Wheres Harry Connick Jr anyway? Prick put a massive sour note on Hey Hey its Saturday reunion with his American history which none of us should be associated with.

I'm just staggered this actually happened... who thought this would be a good idea?

Yellow peril!??

Does anybody check the work experience kids work at WCE? Amazing.
Don't know where my first post went but anyways...

Does anybody check the sports science kids work at Essendon? Amazing.
 
Saw it took less than 10 posts for someone to bust out the term SJW...colour me surprised.

Obviously an innocent mistake, but I despair at the lack of education more than anything. Plenty of people claiming they had no knowledge of its racist connotations. It's hardly obscure, read a damn book occasionally.
 
Lion Dairy & Drinks is a massive company. I am disgusted that the Eagles carry the brand logo of one of its products on its shorts. Masters milk. Saint Kilda also has its Dare brand as a major sponsor. Coon Cheese is another of Lions brands. So racist. I am boycotting all AFL games until this horribly racist company has its logos removed!!!

Ok, what was the story line behind this :eek:

Yeah because trolling Essendon over their drug thing is really relevant to the topic...
 
haha I've been seeing this "yellow peril" shit all day, and only just now realised its apparently meant to be racist.

Everyone please forgive my ignorance for not knowing the obscure term and feel free to label me as an out and out racist.

"My football team wears navy blue" - said the Carlton supporter.
"My football team wears red and blue" - said the Melbourne supporter.
"My football team wears yellow peril" - said the Racist.
 
I hope the club personally apologized to all the people they offended from the 1890's. 150 year old people shouldn't have to put up with that
The term might have been coined in the 1890s but its use increased during World War II, the Vietnam War and even during the influx of immigrants from the South-East Asian region in the 1970s. It's disingenuous to suggest it has no relevance outside the 19th century. A little knowledge would go a long way here.
 
1% of Facebook commenters not agreeing with something doesn't require an article, and if you're going to trot out the racism angle then it's probably best you haven't used the term in headlines yourself.
The article wasn't written by an Age reporter though, it was picked up in syndication.

Is it a strange coincidence that during the Adam Goodes saga, news of racism outside of the saga seemed to go down.

Yet after his retirement there seems to have been an increase in news of racism.
 
As a Chinese Singaporean, can I just remind everyone that Asians are also hella racist themselves? We have loads of derogatory terms for foreigners (Black, white and anything in between) and even for other Asian ethnicities. As a Singaporean, I don't even like Chinese people from China!

To be honest, to the average Asian whose first language isn't English, they won't even be aware of what "peril" even means, much less what the term "yellow peril" is!

Everyone just needs to quit being so damn sensitive. I call my American bro-in-law "cracker" and tell him to go shave his hairy white ass, while he loves pretending he can speak Chinese by saying "ching chong ting tong" alot.

The whole world is going overly PC and precious about every damn thing. I will continue to call the damn thing "Yellow Peril", and no one's gonna tell me otherwise.

Never met a SEA Chinese who likes mainlanders.

Bullshit - you are required to be offended

The middle class white male heading up some unheard of multicultural organisation said you should be

Yield damn it - be offended!
