Then there is not tension between them in the same place, if you understand me.

Why you complain when the nazis did it then?

I was walking through The Rocks once, and an elderly woman leaning on her fence shouted out at me "Go back where you came from".  If i was feeling like an argument, I could have told her that I was Australian and therefore was already where I had come from, but I just kept on walking.  Sometimes I think about that and wonder where she actually thought I came from.....

No, she was a white Australian, presumably of Anglo-Saxon descent and, I would guess, in her mid eighties.  As for me, I'm tall, slim, with dark brown hair and dark brown eyes.  I can't think of anything about my appearance that would make anyone think I belong to any particular ethnic group although, for some reason, I do get mistaken for a tourist from time to time....

About time every Australian learnt an Aboriginal languages.

Speak Aboriginal or Bugger Off !




How many Aboriginals today can speak one of their languages? Should those who cannot bugger off as well?

Although, maybe you are onto something. From now on speaking aboriginal should be a requirement for anyone claiming special government assistance because they are Aboriginal.

Aboriginal
: "I am proud of my culture and hurt by what you white fellas have done to me. Give me money!"
Centrelink
: "Can you speak an aboriginal language?"
Aboriginal
: "No"
Centrelink

Good one.

How about this:

Client
: "I am proud of my culture and hurt by what you have done to me. Give me money!"
Centrelink
: "Have you ever functioned productively in this society?"
Client
: "Er... no."
Centrelink
: "Bugger off"

One of my earliest memories is of sitting with my mother at a picnic table near the beach with my mother, and carload of drive past yelling at "bugger off you wogs"

Disturbing enough to be mistaken for a person from an ethnic minority and abused for it on one occasion. It must be awful for people who have to face that all the time because they actually are from an ethnic minority.

It is odd how some people seem to lack empathy for other people. You have to wonder what kind of parents they had that raised such jerks.

So?  Lots of dickheads, young punks, like to yell stuff at pedestrians or cyclists as they drive past. Stupid, I know, and you wonder if it really makes them feel tuff, but my point is that these dickheads just yell for the sake of yelling.  If you're visibly different, at least they have something to yell instead of just "blaaaaaahhh!!!"  Either way, it's just noise.
