It boils down to: Adam Goodes is the captain of the Sydney Swans and an Aborigine, like many top-rank AFL players. Crouds yell racist abuse at him, because white Australians make Paul Henry look politically correct. Goodes' reactions to this - not just smiling and nodding, but calling out a 13 year old girl who called him an ape and celebrating goal by miming a spear-chuck - just seem to increase the "I'm not racist but that b**ng is too uppity and should f**k off back to the Outback if he can't take banter" reactions.
I say 'Waitangi day should be renamed invasion day'
You tell me if I don't like it, leave NZ
How is that racist telling me to leave NZ?
This is why I think I am missing something here. I don't tolerate racism but I am missing a rather large chunk of the story I think whereby this is viewed as being racist.
Adam Goodies is Aboriginal. His people have been Australian since before the Ice Age, whereas McMasters have been there about 0.5% of that time. To call any Aboriginal person "unaustralian" is like telling Maori to go back where they came from. Racist AND bloody stupid.
