haha... yea I hear a lot about the racist stuff coming out of Australia. My friends there say it isn't so bad, but some do complain.

Recently the South African cricket team had a three month tour, and during their matches they were startled by the racial abuses hurled at them by the crowd.

On another tour, one South African cricketer caught a batsmen out, and the Aussie commentator said,"The terrorist gets another wicket."

He was fired.
