There's racism everywhere you go in the world. It's just part of the human condition.

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?

Technically, she's only a pom if she's British living in Australia...

So, the British don't know the distinction between race and nationality? Good to know. Ironic considering these are a people virulently hateful toward redheads (who are white honkies just like them.)

It's not racism. This is a white person calling a person of one national origin that of another national origin, the people are both white, white Australians and white Kiwis are descended from the same Anglo stock. There's no racial differentiation here. Edited March 14, 2013 by AGX-17
