Title: Australians at it again.
Post by: Pugnate on Monday, November 13, 2006, 02:01:09 PM

I think it is just an inbred trait for Aussies to be racist or something.

Oh and BTW Panesar is English and is only of Indian origin. Well this incident actually wasn't bad though. Some of the other stuff that comes out of there seems to be totally out there.

Crazy.  I would think sports players get shit like this all the time regardless, though.  I mean, there's idiots everywhere.

That's not too bad.. It was just words after all.

I don't know, I don't get offended easily I guess.. If someone called me a "stupid Egyptian" I'd just be like "whatever, buzz off." But if someone said I was stupid because I'm Egyptian, then I have a bone to pick with 'em. I remember once I pinned my boss to the wall (well ex-boss, I was 15 at the time) because he ignorantly dissed a customer by saying "Y'know all those Egyptians they're stupid and stubborn, you can't talk to them, they're idiots." I just turned to him and said "Do you have a problem with Egyptians? You do know that I am Egyptian." We got into a brief scuffle, and I went to the manager. It wasn't a big deal, just a misunderstanding. The customer and I were offended, and he misunderstood.

There, I went to the trouble of fixing that for you.

Lol!

Well, sometimes, when someone expects too much from Aussies, I tell them to go back and study their history.

Aussies talk like that all the time to each other.  sometimes, it's just too much towards other people though and they don't know when to stop.  That's when you bring out your ammo.. they'll shush sooner or later.

I guess it's a matter of the crowd you end up with.  I know some really respectable, wonderful people from there, they can be racist when around other aussies but they don't do it in front of other races.   Anyhow.. yeah..

Someone wise once said.. american women are usually hard and have an expiration date.. aussie women seem really hard but inside, they're warm and soft.

ahahha.. i dunno, thought i'd share that since a bunch of you are single.

"Ta mate, ta." 

It's 'Thanks'  you say 'thank you' or 'thanks' you mother fuckers.

'ta-ta'

What?  Thanks thanks, or goodbye?  What the fuck are you talking about?
