Well, pretty sure that joking about denying service to Chirnside park, while pointing out obvious racial stereotypes is racist, even in jest.
You may not see it that way and you might not even care if you do, but I'll stand by my comment. It was meant in the same silly fashion that the original comment was, so if you blow it out of proportion, you only have yourself to blame. Care or don't, just pointing out how I see it.
As Uber drivers, we all make racist decisions about where we go. It's always racist but it's only an issue when you announce it publicly - because you're trying to rally support for the stereotype. Just because you think it, doesn't mean you have to publicly advocate it. Exercise some self reflection.
Anyway, I really don't care to be honest. It's not like the white bogan crowd in Chirnside Park is a model of social acceptance anyway - I just think that flaming an entire town, on a forum of mostly immigrants, is a bit ironic in the absurd.
My, my.... I feel like you may be responding as this was a little close to home.
"I've" never seen you comment on anything else in our forum that may have slightly resembled racism when it involves items that may effect the "mostly immigrants" you describe in your response.
If you did, screenshot or it didn't happen.
And how is it ironic at all?? "Please explain" lol
How is it racist? I didn't mention skin colour.
Anyway, I'm a born and bred Aussie. So if I want to have a bit of a laugh at my own kind, who are you to tell me.
The Australia / Melbourne, and the people that grew up with me, and even the majority of aussies I meet or know now, are sick of all the bloody "PC" police.
Also, I'm not an old man who grew up in the olden days when immigrants were few, and misunderstood.
Have a sense of humour. The Aussie way was / is to have a laugh at yourself and others.
I agree there is racism out there. But if believe I was being racist, you are incorrect.
Too many people in the world using the racist card for every little thing these days.
I bet you thought the cartoon of Serena Williams was racist too. Did you?
Fair Dinkum Mate get over it.
Just kidding as Bert Newton said 'i like the boy'.
