I love subtlety Darwin, but it would be fair to assume that at least some would have let that salient point fly straight through to the keeper.

I have told the story before, but will do so again, because it reinforces the point you make.
My nan came from scotland as a teen, and when she was in her 60's, had a lady try and put her down as a 'New Australian', to which said, "my you are the palest aboriginal I have ever met"

It is especially worrying when people who are only second or third generation cannot see that they are seeking to treat people in a way, which they would not like to see their own families subjected to, perhaps they did not learn from the tales their antecedents passed on to them, of what it is like to be unfairly persecuted.

Well chuck in some jokes Darwin, everyone enjoys a good joke.

Just recently a few posters said how much they enjoy fart jokes, so here is an old one, that every one may not have heard.

The teacher walks into the room and says... "OK class today's word is DEFINITELY, can anyone use the word in a sentence."

Little Susie stands up and say "The sky is DEFINITELY blue."

The teacher says; "Not necessarily Susie, it can be blue, gray, or black, but nice try."

Little Johnny is in the back of the room and is waving his hands back and forth.

The teacher says " Yes Johnny, What is it?"

Johnny says " I have a question."

OK lets hear it, says the teacher.

Johnny says "Do Farts have lumps?"

The teacher says, "Well no they don't."

Little Johnny says "Well then I DEFINITELY just pooped my pants!!!"
