Labels

"Labels" was created by Australian Red Cross and MTV Australia to raise awareness about the discriminatory labels sometimes placed on refugees and asylum seekers in Australia.

The video airs from 20 June, the start of National Refugee Week 2010.

Cool video. I reckon the Red Cross could pay heed to its own preaching here when its comes to labelling and excluding gay men from donating blood. ;-)

If only we could choose our own labels...

Then EVERYONE could be even more hypocrite than they are now. What a world would that be, eh? :)

yet another Anti-White ad...I notice that there were no white people holding signs that said 'HONKEY' 'CRACKER' 'WHITEY' 'CASPER' because Blacks, Asian, & Muslims never say anything racist against White people right? it can safely be assumed that this ad is directed AT WHITES..

They say they are anti-racist but what they really are is Anti-White.. Anti-Racist is a code word for Anti-White

Labels, labels, labels. Is Africa being flooded with non-Africans, who go around insisting on how they should or shouldn't be labeled? Is China being flooded with non-Chinese, who go around insisting on how they should or shouldn't be labeled? Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, White countries for everyone? The label for that is "genocide". Anti-racism is code language for anti-White. Of course you're a sister or friend or whatever. Genocide is illegal.

The Blood Service is required by legislation to screen blood donors on the basis of declared issues; that is, issues which could put their blood at risk of carrying infection. For example, if they could potentially have been exposed to Mad Cow disease (in the UK), hepatitis (if they've had a tattoo), or HIV (if they've had male to male sex) then the Blood Service is required not to take a blood donation.
