Gorth Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Apparently it's perfectly fine to use the Queens English to accuse people of being Australian.Sentence overturned A British woman convicted of racism after calling her New Zealand-born neighbour an Australian has had her name cleared.Last November, Petra Mills was arrested after calling her neighbour a "stupid fat Australian" during a drunken tirade on her front lawn.The neighbour, Chelsea O'Reilly, says Ms Mills knew she was born in New Zealand but used the term "Australian" to offend her.Ms Mills was charged with racially aggravated public disorder and fined $162.However, the local court in the city of Chester has overturned the decision, ruling that using the word "Australian" is not a racist slur.Ms Mills has since moved to north Wales to escape the embarrassment caused by her conviction. Bloody Poms, watch who you call an Aussie, yes? 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

Janmanden Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 that's like calling a Canadian an American! No, that actually makes sense geographically. It would be like calling an American an Indian.. (Signatures: disabled)
alanschu Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 The real issue is "Why is it insulting to be called an Australian?" Perhaps it's the New Zealander that is the racist! 2

HoonDing Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 A true Englisman doesn't differ between an Aussie and a New Zealander when making sheep jokes. 1 The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Gorgon Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 Worked in a resturant when I was just starting UNI and one of the Chefs was similarly very offended at being called an Australian, which would naturally make us all forget on purpose. It seems to be especially important to white Europeans who moved there a couple of hundred years ago. I guess everyone wants to belong somewhere. --- Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Blarghagh Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 To see the label "Australian" as offensive is offensive by itself. Seeing "Australian" as a race is downright retarded. Oh no, now I'm ableist! Damn those women, always forcing me to be politically correct just for the sake of their porchmonkeys (don't worry, I'm taking it back).
Rosbjerg Posted March 11, 2013 Posted March 11, 2013 To quote Ben Croshaw, "But it was made in Japan and we all know what xenophobic d*cks they are!"(irony) I was talking to a couple of students in a cafe in Kyoto when the subject reached robotics and I asked why they Japan seemed to be so naturally gifted with robotics.. to which one of the guys replied "It's 'cause we hate foreigners so much" and went on to explain that why it was an elegant solution to the problem.. so yeah.. Fortune favors the bald.
Bos_hybrid Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 This thread is racist! Of to court with the lot of ya. Crocodile Dundee is nice, but the quintessential Australian male actually looks like this: Close but not quite.
Nepenthe Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 Well, at least she managed to confuse Austrian and Australian, eh? You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Oerwinde Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 that's like calling a Canadian an American! No, that actually makes sense geographically. It would be like calling an American an Indian.. No, I meant that many Canadians take offense at being mistaken for Americans, much as Kiwis take offense at being mistaken for Australians, despite being pretty much identical in general appearance and speech. As in there isn't any way really to differentiate Americans and Canadians aside from Americans with a southern drawl, same as there isn't really any way to differentiate a kiwi and an aussie. Culturally there are many differences, which leads to one group taking offense at being mistaken as the other, but it has more to do with shared history than anything else.

Zoraptor Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 There are many ways to differentiate, I'll have you know. We say "Ud like sum fush und chups" while those horrendous convicts with their adenoidal whine say "oil loik sim feesh ind cheeps". Plus Aussies mistake the number 6 for an Indian religion originating in the Punjab. 2
