No it is racism. It’s always based on skin color , just ask black people if you know any. Not many in Oz and you did not exactly treat them that well , cobber.

I think they are two different things really, jingoism can be misinterpreted as racism and vice versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in posting on an empty head, same as drinking on an empty stomach. You're not posting cos Roxanne told you off for being a knob and having an appalling attitude towards people with some hope and heart? Haha, giving a fuck then. That's hilarious.

Anyone Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I disagree. If anything they are the same and based on skin color. We white folk need to realize that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will concede, however, that white Australian settlers did not treat the indigenous Aussies well at all and the injustice of that remains still to be righted and perhaps never can be.

But I do believe you don’t . To be honest. There is nowhere near enough airtime given to the need for greater focus on promoting diversity and inclusivity within society. Dare I say it but the Isle of Man is one of the most backwards countries I have ever set foot in in terms of the racist and non inclusive attitudes I have witnessed since I have lived here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every programme seems to have an LBGQT and/or BLM theme to it, and if not there is always a twist thrown in t some point. But that's the BBC for you.

When I first came here the Irish in particular were hated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that you as a currently standing Ramsey Commissioner yourself would be a little less likely than others to join in and engage in this type of unsubstantiated salacious gossip mongering.

How far do you go? Seriously, how far do you go? Make all the whities kneel on one knee every hour on the hour and raise a clenched fist. That'll teach 'em though. Not sure what for, but it'll teach 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
