Moeen Ali racially abused

[TheJediBrah]

Trying to be legitimate but honestly, if all I'm going to get is called a ****wit then why worry about it. I'm not Blocky, I don't come in here to incite anything - I just state what my views are, which if that's not the basis for a forum then I'm apologetically mistaken. I'm more than likely just guilty of making sweeping statements like 'Australia has a problem' when I should say it's more prevalent than it should be, but it's not indicative of the whole country at all.

Nothing wrong with just stating what your views are, just don't be surprised when it gets pointed out how stupid and wrong they are

Australia does have massive problems re indiginous affairs

Who doesn't. Or at least racial issues.

NZ was the first country in the world to give women the right to vote (1893). Māori men actually achieved universal suffrage 12 years before European men due to land ownership in the 1860s.

Chinese NZers had to pay a poll tax and couldn't vote until the 1950s.

i wasn't aware this thread could get worse than last night but "your country is worse than my country and let me show you why with spurious generalisations" might be it

 

[Borges]

You seem to be getting all your information from reports of behaviour by a cricket team

For a lot of cricket fans, the most visible face of Australia has been the behaviour of their cricket team.
I think we could just accept that the Australian cricket team is unAustralian, and leave it at that.

you want us to continue speculating which Australian player said these things? Or to keep hurling abuse to Australian cricket and its 'culture'? Or are we supposed to continue the debate on if 'Osama' is really a racist insult or not?

This.

We're just going to go around in circles, rename the thread to "Poop in the Pants: The Thread" and sticky it.

 

[Spark]

i mean

if we start closing threads because they get circular and dull then

 

[cnerd123]

your face is circular and dumb

 

[Spark]

your face is circular and dumb

you make a strong point

 

[vcs]

your face is circular and dumb

This is a good example of excellent meme usage.

No, people would then mistake it for a thread about Chennai.

 

[sledger]

wrong



yes it could, and it would be just as bad. In fact suggesting that it wouldn't is actually racist. More specifically so than the comment in question.

Wow, so now you're accusing me of racism?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wow, so now you're accusing me of racism?

I guess, technically

 

[sledger]

Astounding.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Not really, I don't hold a grudge though. You're not doing out of hostility, just out of ignorance.

I think this is the first time I've seen sledger get sledger'd. Incredible performance from TJB.
