She does say "that's absolutely true..." but she is cut. Straight afterwards, she says "BUT..." and then goes on defending Australia's culture & different humour.
I have never heard of black face before in the American context. So no i did not find this skit racist. Why do Americans think that they are that important as we all should know there history, and racist past and be sensitive towards it? Seriously keep your own problems to yourself.
I think I can say on behalf of ALL Australians to Harry Connick Jr:
STAY THE FUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY YOU HYPOCRITE RACE PIMP.
How about we talk about Connick's continuous PRAISE of the racist Zionist apartheid-state Israel that just ethnically cleansed 80% of the indigenous Palestinian population (millions upon millions) simply because they were seen as ethnically inferior!!!
So to him ethnically cleansing millions if OK, but painting your face black for a gag isn't.
I take serious offense...who calls The View popular...and it is not acting black it is offensive it is the "blackface"...it has a seriously negative connotation...but since all the Australians I have met were very nice people I have to assume Australians just have a different sense of humor.
my mate went australia for a year... he got jumped about 5 times by racist white people... not to say australia itself is racist but some parts of the world have large racist population... and australia is one of them!
@biggzman where the hell was he located in Australia, for example did he go to Redfern in Sydney or Footscray in Melbourne because I can tell you first hand those are rough areas.
LOOK WHAT YOU ARE DOING TO THE WORLD AMERICA! FUCK YOU AND YOUR JEWS AND NIGGERS! IF YOU DONT LIKE IT, THEN DONT SEND YOUR TV SHOWS MOVIES AND MUSIC HERE!!! FUCK OFF AMERICA WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH, GO FUCK YOURSELVES AND NOT US AND OR THE REST OF THE WORLD...JULIA GILLARD PLEASE CUT TIES WITH AMERICA!

Racism will never die out so long as either the Baby Boomers generation is alive and kicking, or people look and speak differently. Take a look at the US conservative right-wing and other Bill O'Reillys throughout the world.
Aside, the sketch was performed in good faith, a tribute. It wouldn't be much of a tribute if six white men paraded around the stage pretending to be the Jackson 5, would it?
What about when The Simpsons did their episode about Australia, no one gave a fuck. Australia does this and all Americans are up in arms... Fuck, I hate Americans.
@McEvoyMikey We hate you too, honky. Fuck off. I'm black and I'll kill your worthless, birdshit colored ass. Wherever there's whiteys...there be racism.
I can honeslty say as an Australian. I am sure they really weren't trying to offend Black Americans. However, when it comes to being a racist country. We are probably one of the worst. In fact, as much as the clip says otherwise, Black Americans are actually not even on the radar. If you are Lebanese, Chinese, Japnese, Italian, and definaltey Aboriginal, Please be cautious of Australians. They will try and kick you out of the country so fast. I am in many ways ashamed to be Australian.
It was a stupid thing and the Producers should have known better. Curiously no one has highlighted that most of them weren't white Australians themselves that performed the skit. 1 Asian and 2 or 3 Indians I believe. I can understand that Americans are sensitive about these issues but their lesson is not necessarily everyone elses to learn. After all we didn't tell ourselves it was OK to abduct people from another continent to use as unpaid slave labour to kickstart an economy.

Noone seems the be upset that the guy playing MJ has a super white painted face, even though I'm not white and pale, I'm more of a sandy colour mostly.
Fuck off americans are the most racial ppl in the world. How dare they sit there and tell us we are a racist hole. GET FUCKED AMERICA. We have steve irwin who is dead and amercans pay him out every day.
@TheQueenslander1234 "They" didn't say anything. ONE woman said one thing and nobody denied that America has an extremely ugly history. The truth is that no Americans cared or thought anything negative of Australia because of it. The media tried to turn it into a story, but people had no interest.
Americans don't think that Australia is racist. There's no American attitude that reflects that and it's a shame that some lame talk shows try to imply that.
@chibangin007 you stupid fuck. have you ever been to Australia. As everyone knows australia is the best country in the world. Its the americans that are the racist ones. Its people like you that have no place on this earth
@aussieslv youre calling me a stupid fuck? dude ur from there and you didnt even know youre in a continent? its not a country bitch. and yeah, ur people are racist and they expose it. what black man in your country makes fun of whites? none! what asian makes fun of you foster drinking redneck wannabe southern like americans with shitty accents? NONE! you people are fake ass british rejects. bitch please, its STUPID FUCKS like you that have no place on earth... wait maybe in afganistan!
@chibangin007 is that the best you can do at least in Afghanistan we can keep our troops alive, and you are of course in your infinite wisdom that the UK used the 13 colonies for exactly the same purpose in fact the ratio of freemen to convicts in the US was smaller that Australia
@chibangin007 Would you be kind enough to remind me who it was that imported slaves from Africa and then demonized them in it's local entertainment? Why I believe that was the USA. Seems you like to ignore your own racist history and then try to accuse others of racism. Very sad.
@agito18 the point is the Americans are trying to overcome there messed up past. Ill simply say one thing does Australia have a black president? He didnt get their from the votes of just black people so obviously they are progressing. Australian probably not.
@stonelove66 Well it is good some americans are trying to overcome their messed up past but that does not change the fact that people are trying to push america's gulit onto australia as it was in america where black faces started and had a racist meaning, not Australia. Also please tell me which president public apologise for how america treated africans americans? Or is america behind Australia in apologizing for what they did in the past?
@chibangin007 Nobody drinks fosters in AU... we ship that crap os cause its made from piss. Asians, Blacks, Arabs, Indians make as much fun of whites as the whites make of them, I should know I'm both Arab & White (and my wife is asian), so yeah i get it from both sides, but there really isn't any real racism in it, its a bit of fun we have with each other. The only real racists r bogan's on the welfare who've never workd & maybe old people, i expect much like american white trash.
@chibangin007 Yes we know we are a continent, we are an island, and we're a country. Did you know that America was used for british convicts for DOUBLE the period that Australia was. YOU REALLY DO SOUND LIKE A STUPID FUCK.
australia.............land of back water....and very very out dated. sad but am an australian its true. it cuz of the laid back attitude. but again if someone says this is not racist he need to be waken up.
@rjlives Your channel says that you're Indian. Are you struggling to make friends... and therefore blame the people you can't understands rather then accept your shortcomings.
People fucking whinge about everything these days. Twenty years ago nobody raised an eyebrow at this, but nowadays everybody just thinks they have a fucking right to piss on anybody who even mentions the word "black".
No one elese in the world gives a shit, just America. Probably because America is probably the most racist country to have ever existed, here racism is still everywhere.
wait my pop showed me a coin collection before he died it had american coins the thing is did they have african americans on there coins NO we have Aboriginals on our coins to show respect to the Aboriginals so what are you americans talking about
People are so fucking uptight... why can't people have a laugh at themselves and at others? I don't think it was that bad at all anyway... so why do people have to take offence when it wasn't meant offencively? I mean it was kind of racist... but who cares? no-one was killed and people don't hate black people now so wtf?
So fucking sick of people generalising all australians with occasional events ... stop listening to every fucking word that the bullshit media says they are looking for rating and will blow out of porportion any story they can...... ps god isn't real :)
@thegreig The 2 Blacks guys were not painted like WHITE PAINT/PAPER. They were made up to appear as white females in natural skin pigmentation. There is a difference. That movie grossed millions of dollars the White Americans loved the movie "White Chicks".
Its a difference in the portrayal of a real black person by wearing makup, but to have makeup to make you look like a stupid looking Tar-baby Clown is another story, so No Harry is not a hypocrite
@BronzeSista Tar babies can be funny in a different context. You know there are other worlds outside your little sphere.
I don't know or care about that, but I'm sorry you have so many stupid problems that seem to be easy to fix, and even more sorry that you infer your dumb problems onto us.
Why are you so serious?
Not even the blacks here know what a tar baby is, and they have better things to do than deal with your shit.
We get worse. Tust me. Let me know when you want to start this.
@Logicbeatslies I am serious because Blacks for years in the States had to put up with the same foolish racist taunts at the hands of insensitive whites. I hear that the treatment of the Blacks in Australia has been very unfair in many aspects of life, and that Australians claim to have no racial problems, which is a joke. When I look at the news clips some of the whites seem to think its okay to make fun of another race in a degrading way.
@BronzeSista Ah, hem, your portraying double standards when you demand that only white people can be racist. You look for proof where there is none, just to validate your claim, but in the end you are racist and that's the problem... your problem, not mine.
Now excuse me and go fuck yourself.
I'm perfectly capable of getting along with anybody regardless of anything, if I want to. Some people I like and some I don't. I won't walk on racist egg shells for you.
@Logicbeatslies We all have to answer to God for the wrong things we do on this earth. I will not argue/debate with you over this, and call me what you may, this conversation is over, as far as I am concerned. Take care.
@BronzeSista Even the rocks and stones are judging you NOW, and if you can't feel it, you already have no connection with God and there is no haven for you. If you actually have faith, you'd already know this. You'd also see why this act isn't racist, even if you don't like it.
@agito18 As long as I have been on this earth I have never ever seen Black people in America come on a variety show in WHITE PAINT portraying white people. I don't think any Media Agency would let Black people appear on a American Show with pure white paint on their faces, looking like ghosts. And yes, if Black people make fun of other races I would speak out, because its wrong. People are people, human beings made in the image of God.
@agito18 dave chappelle does not paint his face " pink" or the same colour as "white flour" to portray white people .... those people actually painted their face "black" not brown like the colour black people are but " black like oil" .... they showed their true colour totally racist, disrespectful and mean... it just confirmed what the world already know and think about australians!!!
@qqq1011 Also the above seems to do is show a double standard. You condem what the men did yet when Dave Chappelle does something simliar it is ok. That is a very big double standard.
Also don't push america's gulit onto Australia. It was america where Black faces started and where is has a very racist meaning not Australia.
@agito18 ... maybee it started there but is not done anymore ...they said " the land time forgot " in the above clip....there is a clip called " Australia and the 'N' word" which comforms australians views today. the mentality is still the same as before... aslo did you read my comment i think BronzeSista wrote the same about the colour that was painted ... please comment on that ... you seem to avoid that and coming back with same statement without answering.
@qqq1011 Yet the above does not address what I wrote. I said don't push america's gulit onto australia as it was in america where black faces started and had a racist meaning, not Australia. So unless you consider that all white people should be held accountable for america's racist history then you very well can't condem the men. Also you did not address how you show a double standard when you think it is ok for Dave Chappelle in times past on a white face and makes fun of whites in his skits
@agito18 i did adress all that with "it started there but is not done anymore " they learned and try 2 better them selfs and " the land time forgot "...and again i would think it would be racist if dave chappelle put white flour on his face to make fun of whites but he did not. they make fun of black people on US tv e.g.mad tv without "black"paint on their faces,they use pigmented make-up..i c now why BronzeSista stopped answering its pointless in the future make fun of your own "ausses"
@qqq1011 You didn't address it. The issue is not over whether black faces is still done in america but that it was in america where black faces started and where it has racist history and had been used for racism, not Australia. So you codeming the men shows a couple of things.
1 You push america's gulit over it's racist history onto Australia where Black faces does not have the same meaning.
2 Have a double standard by not condeming for Dave Chappelle when he has in the past put on a....
@qqq1011 (continued) white face and has made fun of whites in his skits.
3. You consider that all white people should be held accountable for america's racist history (which is racism in itself)
Also it seems that instead of addressing this issue like an adult you have decided to run away from the disucssion instead of adressing the issue at hand.
@BronzeSista This was from a reunion show of an old-fashioned long-running variety show here in Aus that had been off the air for like 20 years. I think the entire show was outdated and somewhat embaressing and it certainly doesn't represent our culture or our country.
white guy from a country where their president was elected purely on race gets offended by a lighthearted skit on a comedy variety show. What a joke Harry Connick Jr.
@amasuEnd , come on then u fukin yankee, fuck america and fuk michael jaxon, aboriginies are soo much better than u BLACKamericans cos they dont take offence to racism, ur a bunch of fuking sooks, ur counry and uraccent is fuked up, get the fuk over it
I'm Australian, while overt racism is rare, subtle racism and extreme ignorance is prevalent in Australia. Australians are an insecure race and defend themselves to the hilt even when they are in the wrong. The sensibilities of any other people or culture is of no consequence to an Australian. They always do and say what feels right to them - Period.
ALSO, people need to stop concentrating so much on 'race'. Race doesn't even exist. That's right, I said it. Race is a socially created concept. Now sure, there are variations in the skin color and many other factors of human but that's all they are, variations. Is a Black Labrador any different from a blonde or brown labrador? Of course not! The problem is that all people, world wide, get too caught up in stupid things such as this and no one realizes that it really doesn't matter
Whatever dude, we American's are just as racist as anyone, if not more, and we have things that are MUCH more racist than that (although, it is often making fun of people within our own borders). I say, if it wasn't ment as an insult then who the frick cares? It was an honest mistake, NO BIG DEAL.
Australia is a racist, backward country. My white Americans friends go there and Australians are mean to them. And they are WHITE! I have never seen a famous Aborigine movie star, politician, tv presenter, musician etc. Based on what you see and hear from Australia, you would think Australia is lily white. Australians don't embrace cultural diversity at all. Name one famous non-white Australian you know? Can't do it right? Hmmmm....wonder why?
@samuelflower How about you do some research next time before making such ridiculous comments. No famous Aboriginies? Try Yothu Yindi, Boori Pryor, Christine Anu not to mention countless sportspeople such as Jason Gillespie, Michael Lomg and Evon Goolagong. I could name plenty more if you like. Maybe next time Harry Connick opens his mouth he should think about his skit. Americans are very quick to slam everyone else and tell everyone about their problems when they have their own to worry about.
@rorywilson22 Who? Does anyone outside of Australia know any of those people you mentioned? No! How many minority American actors can a five year old name? Plenty! How many can name ONE minority in Australia? None! Look around your precious Australia, do you see many minority doctors, lawyers, politicians etc. America might be racist but at least minorities are represented in government, sports, tv, movies, medicine...basically all sections of society. Not so in Australia!
@samuelflower Obviously you know nothing about Australia. As a rough guess I'd say there are more minority doctors than anglo saxan doctors and to say that minorities aren't represented in law firms, government, sport and TV shows in Australia is just ridiculous. Do you want me name some more famous Australians from minorities? Just because you haven't heard of them in America doesn't mean they don't exist!
@samuelflower It seems you are changing the standard because the user showed you are wrong. You mentioned nothing about any one outside Australia knowing them and when evidence was given to you, you change what you asked for. It seems you have some desire to label australia as racist which shows your own racist view of the australian people. Very big doble standard.
@samuelflower I can name a great many famous aboriginals, and in fact they are overrepresented based on the population, by maybe 100 times.
I can think of about 20 famous athletes, 40 great actors, maybe 15 activists - some with the title Australian of the Year, and some prominent politicians.
In fact, I feel that they are propped up beyond their merit in some cases, just because some idiot wants to feels good, which is exactly what Americans are doing, and what annoys me about them too.
@samuelflower , Albert Namatjira · Ernie Dingo · Lionel Rose · Cathy Freeman · Nova Peris Kneebone · Michael Long · Gavin Wanganeen, all aboriginies ur a fuking yankee cunt, and fuk ur pussy friends wen an american is in line i push in front and wen he says move i tell him fuk u im gonna chuck a shit on ur bald eagle and use ur gay little flag for toilet paper
@samuelflower Is that compared to the US that had blacks as slaves, where the KKK started, where black faces started, condem other contrie because of their own guilt over there racist history.
Hey, don't critisise us about treating our natives badly, what about the Indians, huh? Americans, and Harry Connick Jr inparticularly, are just a bunch of hypocrites
@Logicbeatslies Of course there are people who voted for Obama because of color, but frankly the Democrats could of put a broccoli fart in a jar up against McCain and won.
2008 was a year where the Dems couldn't lose, but Obama still had a tough primary and, IMO, was definitively more articulate, ambitious, and "presidential" than the other candidates.
@toughbutfair32 I can accept what you are saying, no problem. It's not my place to speak about it, but I preferred Obama, from where I stand..
The point is, saying America is superior, (less racist) because you elected a black president, based on colour, is no less racist than electing a white man specifically because he is white. So the argument is hypocritical.
If we are in the position to elect a female PM, and people were excited about having a woman because she is a woman, I'd feel sick.
@Logicbeatslies I'm not implying that Obama was elected because he's black, I'm implying that our system, which used to be completely segregated and racist, has evolved to the point where those flaws have been largely diminished, allowing a black guy with a foreign sounding name go from rags to riches and become President, a feat that used to be impossible here.
@toughbutfair32 I'm not one of the people who say America is a racist country, per se. I have just made the point that Australia doesn't have a past with slavery, and segregation, and therefore the black/white divide is not in the public conscience. That's why we see this as a flippant sketch, comedy to some people, and basically crappy.
To add, I also think the people who shout racism, are racist. People suffering from racism, can't say anything because they will be discriminated against more.
@Logicbeatslies The first point contributes to the problem, it doesn't excuse from it. Unless people practice what they preach, and live among diversity, than racial tolerance is just on paper. Not that its the average Aussie's fault, but it doesn't mean its not a factor.
I.E. America has vast stretches of land that still try to cling to racist 50's policies that stand in stark contrast to areas with diversity.
@Logicbeatslies completely disagree with the second point, that's every bigot's excuse, most recently Rush Limbaugh. The man has spent his entire career trying to victimize whites when statistics show they consistently have better qualities of life across every social and economic factor imaginable. When he still accuses Obama of being a foreign Muslim despite his legit birth certificate, he's either an aspie or a racist.Its your right and duty to call people out and make them examine themselves
I am against anybody being bloody minded; claiming victimisation for the sake of argument.. just as I'm against people transferring their guilt, and/or personal responsibility onto others, with lame excuses.
Unfortunately, being tuned into this is somewhat sickening, because so many people are motivated this way - always arguing around round abouts, with no chance for a winner.
@toughbutfair32 Yes america is more racist. Electing a black man does not change america's history. Lets not forget it was america that had africans americans as slaves, where the KKK started and where blackfaces started. All when has the president public apologise for how america treated africans americans?
@agito18 Commenting on a 4 month old post huh? I'll only bite because I can reply to this blindfolded.
Your reference to America's past is an example of how we actually live out and practice what we preach, instead of the euros/aussies who just write it on paper but don't have the minority representation to actually see it carried out in a meaningful way.
Until you have the racial diversity America has, sit down, STFU, and watch and learn.
@toughbutfair32 No my bringing up America's past shows that America is pushing their own gulit for their racist history on Australia. Also I see you did not answer my question (I wonder why). Maybe you could abswer it this time.
When has the president public apologise for how america treated africans americans?
Also have you ever been to Australia? Because if you had you would of seen that there is racial diversity in Australia, Maybe you could check your facts before you write things.
@toughbutfair32 From what I read of Agito's post he has a point. Comedians like Dave Chapelle are a lot more racist than that little skit was. Also until Australia has the racial diversity that America has??? Are you kidding me, I would say we are more racially diverse than America. We have people from every country in the world in Australia.
i think people forget that australia has a different culture and sense of humor to america. these blokes weren't trying to be racist or offend anyone. australia is like evrey other western nation out there. majority of good people. obviously there will b some narrowmind dickheads but america is no different.
Point 1, Australia never had a history of using 'blackface' humour or satire; It's an American thing. Therefore Australians never developed that 'blackface' humour is wrong because we never had that style of entertainment in the first place.
Point 2, The people who were dressed in 'blackface' weren't white.
Point 3, An American calling an Australian racist is extremely ironic or a country which has a history of slavery.
we do not have the problems that america has with its black people ,eg the killings rapes, etc etc so for us its innocent fun with no racial preduce meant.
yes perhaps we are ignoant of this , i guess thats why we are the lucky country.
@MarilynFilth, Oh nooo !! mate, America, has indeed, Righted its self, but .. We do have Muslims living in the US, and some Australians, for that matter(happyly !!!) America -- has the courage and moral backbone to acknowledge its problems, and its pasted deeds upon other peoples and atleast try to resolve unflatering issues and problems. We don't need the UN forum to tell us to get our act together, like you did, a few years ago; followed by your defiant defamatory / incriminating response .
Man, this bad !!! the aussies, aren't taking this seriously !!! In my own opinon, this is going to go very bad for their. They'll wake, and know its going bad & serious, when the US, and others start denying aussies, entry visas, due to "racist australia" very sad, indeed.
Australia doesn't have the US's problems with racism, and your protestations relate to American double standards, which in themselves are racist.
If anyone should be denying visa's it's australia, but at their worst, I don't think Americans are that bad.
The facts are, a huge amount of Australia's new migrants are far too racist (and in a real sense - not your invented injustices, ah em, excuses), but they come from corrupt mono-racial countries, where nobody cares.
@Logicbeatslies, You are quite correct, about Australia doesn't have the US's problems with racism, yet nor does the US have Australia's problems with racism, as well !!! The UN's forum believes that Australia, has a problem with racism (non-whites), which has been labled " Racist Australians " Its kinda strange that you have never acknowledged the aussies's victims ?!!! I imagine you believe that the Native Australians are racist, as well ?!!! This is all of the US's fault, as well right ?!!!
@MrJeffreydunson Wake up, we are both racist Countries who need an overhaul. Stop throwing the blame back and foruth we all need to accept personal responsibility.
they dumped poor irish soup spooners on our soil we wernt a penal colony beyond that nor are the descendants of Anglo-Celts our majority, our largest groups are Germans Italians and Hispanics then Anglos...
So 6 people do 1 skit on 1 telivision show on 1 channel and suddenly all 22 odd million people of Australia are racist? Hypocrytical is it not...

Noone seems the be upset that the guy playing MJ has a super white painted face, even though I'm not white and pale, I'm more of a sandy colour mostly.

@TheQueenslander1234 "They" didn't say anything. ONE woman said one thing and nobody denied that America has an extremely ugly history. The truth is that no Americans cared or thought anything negative of Australia because of it. The media tried to turn it into a story, but people had no interest.
Americans don't think that Australia is racist. There's no American attitude that reflects that and it's a shame that some lame talk shows try to imply that.

toughbutfair32 1 year ago
@toughbutfair32 I can accept what you are saying, no problem. It's not my place to speak about it, but I preferred Obama, from where I stand..
The point is, saying America is superior, (less racist) because you elected a black president, based on colour, is no less racist than electing a white man specifically because he is white. So the argument is hypocritical.
If we are in the position to elect a female PM, and people were excited about having a woman because she is a woman, I'd feel sick.
Logicbeatslies 1 year ago
@Logicbeatslies I'm not implying that Obama was elected because he's black, I'm implying that our system, which used to be completely segregated and racist, has evolved to the point where those flaws have been largely diminished, allowing a black guy with a foreign sounding name go from rags to riches and become President, a feat that used to be impossible here.
toughbutfair32 1 year ago
@toughbutfair32 I'm not one of the people who say America is a racist country, per se. I have just made the point that Australia doesn't have a past with slavery, and segregation, and therefore the black/white divide is not in the public conscience. That's why we see this as a flippant sketch, comedy to some people, and basically crappy.
To add, I also think the people who shout racism, are racist. People suffering from racism, can't say anything because they will be discriminated against more.
Logicbeatslies 1 year ago
@Logicbeatslies The first point contributes to the problem, it doesn't excuse from it. Unless people practice what they preach, and live among diversity, than racial tolerance is just on paper. Not that its the average Aussie's fault, but it doesn't mean its not a factor.
I.E. America has vast stretches of land that still try to cling to racist 50's policies that stand in stark contrast to areas with diversity.

@Logicbeatslies completely disagree with the second point, that's every bigot's excuse, most recently Rush Limbaugh. The man has spent his entire career trying to victimize whites when statistics show they consistently have better qualities of life across every social and economic factor imaginable. When he still accuses Obama of being a foreign Muslim despite his legit birth certificate, he's either an aspie or a racist.Its your right and duty to call people out and make them examine themselves

@MarilynFilth, Oh nooo !! mate, America, has indeed, Righted its self, but .. We do have Muslims living in the US, and some Australians, for that matter(happyly !!!) America -- has the courage and moral backbone to acknowledge its problems, and its pasted deeds upon other peoples and atleast try to resolve unflatering issues and problems. We don't need the UN forum to tell us to get our act together, like you did, a few years ago; followed by your defiant defamatory / incriminating response .

Man, this bad !!! the aussies, aren't taking this seriously !!! In my own opinon, this is going to go very bad for their. They'll wake, and know its going bad & serious, when the US, and others start denying aussies, entry visas, due to "racist australia" very sad, indeed.
MrJeffreydunson 2 years ago
That is hard to imagine.
Australia doesn't have the US's problems with racism, and your protestations relate to American double standards, which in themselves are racist.
If anyone should be denying visa's it's australia, but at their worst, I don't think Americans are that bad.
The facts are, a huge amount of Australia's new migrants are far too racist (and in a real sense - not your invented injustices, ah em, excuses), but they come from corrupt mono-racial countries, where nobody cares.

@Logicbeatslies, You are quite correct, about Australia doesn't have the US's problems with racism, yet nor does the US have Australia's problems with racism, as well !!! The UN's forum believes that Australia, has a problem with racism (non-whites), which has been labled " Racist Australians " Its kinda strange that you have never acknowledged the aussies's victims ?!!! I imagine you believe that the Native Australians are racist, as well ?!!! This is all of the US's fault, as well right ?!!!

@MrJeffreydunson
Racism only exists when there are politics behind, and victims contribute to the cycle, especially if they profit from victimisation.
As soon as double standards are institutionalized, you can bet that things are going backwards.

@MrJeffreydunson Wake up, we are both racist Countries who need an overhaul. Stop throwing the blame back and foruth we all need to accept personal responsibility.

@MrJeffreydunson Please, America is just as racist as Australia. The fact that people white wash this kind of thing is pathetic.
How do Americans treat Muslim people, and Australians for that matter. The race issue is major, and it doesn't stop in one country.

3) Defending against racism using more racism makes you a racist.
4) Do not judge an entire country by the actions of the few.
5) If you think Australia is racist, then come here and meet our people rather than hiding on your computer. Prove yourself right / wrong.
6) There are far worse things in the world then a racially insensitive comedy / talent(/less) skit.
