I always thought Dipper was a bit harshly dealt with regarding his 'abo' remarks. Sure, not the wisest thing to say, but given when he was young he would have been called all things under the sun, I wouldn't have been surprised if racial epithets were used between him and other people who were called names out of solidarity.Multiculturalism is really only a temporary thing if you ask me. One or two generations and the Italian/Greek/Vietnamese/etc. kids for the most part consider themselves Australians (or Italian-Australian or whatever) with cultural heritage.
But now he is seen as part of the accepted majority, he can't say stuff like that, lest social media twits be outraged.
