Seen a few journalists and their cameraman get hounded by police, sadly. Australians just like saying 'good on ya'. We say it about everything, it's kind of one of those phrases that is just an automatic response. To me it sounded like she was saying 'good on ya for putting up with shitty pale skin that burns when your sister has a nice complexion', but whatever. It's probably why only foreigners are mad about it. 1 Quote

She was a country girl so may not have had the same level of multicultural upbringing as me. Below is the clip I was talking about. Quote

Are we as a nation fucking Phil's bald head or something? Spineless creeps, shit for brain pigs that are more concerned about a foreign nation that what is happening to their home and compatriots. I guess I spoke too soon, there are protests happening for Aboriginal custody deaths. Good, I'm proud of them. Quote

Saying "Good on her" about a twin who is white after also praising a twin who is dark skinned is an absolute non story.

It isn't an inheritable trait .You, and I everyone on here probably have rapists in our familes as well. So? What does that change? Didn't stop the Cronulla riots from happening in multicultural Sydney. Edited June 7, 2020 by Spike 1 Quote

Didn't stop the Cronulla riots from happening in multicultural Sydney. I'm saying I don't have any issues with people from the country I spent half my school holidays there as a kid. But I do believe it's fair to say that someone who grew up in the country may have been less exposed to multiculturalism and therefore may have more of a tendency towards ignorance than people who grew up in urban areas. The comment was at worst racially insensitive. Very different from Cronulla Quote
Toinho Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Hard to say how she meant that to be taken but that program isn’t worth watching. The bloke is a tool. It’s trivial in comparison to how much crap is going on in the world right now. Quote

Typical thought process of an urbanite, you can’t see past your own biases, and spending a little time in the outback doesn’t change that. I’ve lived through years of people spouting the same argument, ignorance isn’t defined by geographic location or exposure or non-exposure to different culture. Quote
