I wonder if Goodes is going to get another little girl interrogated and thrown out while doing his victory lap?

Depends on if 13 yr old girls who really are old enough to know better, yell racist epithets at him.

She was 12 and called him an ape which isn't racist. Ever called a red haired person a ranga??

OK, a 12 yr old who is old enough to know better.

No, usually just call them skin cancer risk.

Calling someone an 'ape' is not being racist.

Really? I always thought offence was on the part of the person who received the comment, not some 3rd party.

Some people just aren't happy unless they can feell offended by every little thing. That doesn't make it a racist comment. Just because Goodes perceived it to be does not make it so.

the word "ape" is a racist term in Australia B.O... it really is - it is used only toward Abl pp.

Wrong, that is the very nature of discrimination or harassment. I could grab you on the boobs in the best of intentions, but if you don't like it, its harassment

Many words have more than one meaning/use.

'Ape' is one of those words.

So you've never heard a white hairy guy called a "hairy ape". You must lead a cloistered life.

I used to play football against a WASP, ex-league player. He was commonly called ape-shape.

And if he takes offense at being called a hairy ape, its offensive.

Wrong. That would be physical assault and nothing to do with the discussion.

If a spectator grabbed Goodes physically that would place a whole new slant on things and make it a totally different 'ball' game.

Ok, replace grabbing you on the boobs, with me saying you have terrible bags of boobs. It may be a joke, but if you find it offensive, its offensive.
