From the outside looking in Australia has had a dubious past with race and racial issues, begining with the treatment of Indigenous persons when The First Fleet arrived through until the 1970's when the white Australia policy was abolished to wednesday nights episode of Hey Hey it's Saturday where people blacked out their faces and act like the Jackson Five.
Let's face it, all countries have some form of racial bias no matter how hard they try to hide, Australia has always been bad at hiding it.
There's just a difference in how it has been handled.
A lot of people ignore it, others will be outraged and some will try to use the episode as tool to teach people not to be so inconsiderate of others.
There is good and bad in all societies
Please don't lump all of us together for what a select few people are doing

4WD/SUV's Piss me off
The reasons why they do annoy me so are
*They take up too much space
*Wankers drive them
*These same wankers have never left the suburbs
*These days it's more a sign of status ie the "Mine is bigger than yours so there"
*Too much CO2 emissions (thanks for speeding up climate change for us guys)
*can crush little cars and cause more severe injuries in a car accident (to the people in the little car of course)
they're just plain annoying and driven by pretentious idiots

meh
It's amazing how the weather can turn people into such assholes.
I almost got run over today crossing the street at the lights and the guy in the car wound the window and started yelling at me. I just kept walking, I'm not gonna be a punching bag for a wanker who can't be patient.
The girl at the supermarket just kept grunting and was in a foul mood. But she always seems to be.
But at least my neighbours have stopped blaring really bad techno at 2am
