ANZG: The Trans-Tasman Thread

Whatever >:

He's right. It's the Russel Crowe effect. All of your successes belong to us.

Grr. Why can't you get your own claims to fame and stop stealing Kiwi?

That reminds me of the FST "meme" (it was deemed flaming, I think). It looks like, to me, that he is looking towards a heavenly body (it's really a whiteboard I think).

I think I saw that. Don't think they need to make a meme around the bloke. Seems kind of slack.

No-one needs a personal meme... it's the first step to a cult of personality.

It is equally possible this is a simple typo.

What do you guys think of this:

HALF of Australians harbour anti-Muslim sentiments and a quarter are anti-Semitic, according to the biggest survey ever done on racism in this country.

One in three also admit some level of racist feelings against indigenous people.

The 12-year-survey, conducted by leading universities, found NSW and QLD to be the most racist states, while Victoria was one of the most tolerant.

“An important finding of the Challenging Racism Project is that Australians are in large part secure with cultural difference. However, there are still pockets of the country that hold on to ‘old-fashioned’ racist views,” the report states.

Among the 12,512 people surveyed Australia-wide, 48.6 per cent were negative towards Muslims, Asians (23.8 ), indigenous Australians (27.9), Jews (23.3) and black Africans (27).

We have family friends who are lebanese catholics and my dad says if they were Muslim he would avoid the road their house is on.

At least im in the 52.4% of people without a negative attitude, with good friends from Iran who are Muslim, Aboriginal, Sudanese & Vietnamese and I did japanese at school and have a friend in Japan.

According to the survey, racist hotspots in Australia tended to be in areas that had economic hardship, recent immigration and below-average education levels.

That seems to be expected. I am surprised that things are that bad, I would have expected half the negative numbers.

I got a fairly derogatory air from that one too.

Because you're our protectorate.

Yeah, definitely depends on the individual.

Me too a little. But my town is quite racist.

[Tandrilka]

What about the attitudes and social perceptions that abundant in the public e.g to those with Disabilities, Social Status, Wealth & Sexual Preferences

Pfft. We don't need you. Instead you need us.

I don't know if my village is. We, as I have said, don't really seem to have a village spirit.

I'm not sure. Homophobia would probably be high yet distinctly in the minority I'd think.

Who else would they ban apple imports from?

Of course we do. You're so big and strong.

Hardly anyone does anymore.

In this rare case, I side with New Zealand.

It's more that Australia need us so that you guys can keep poaching anything good that comes out of NZ.

Hey, we have a place called Waipu and Whakapapa is not a swear word. What's not to love?

I'm not sure it's a bad thing. I know I wouldn't get on with a lot of people who live around me.

"Waipu and Whakapapa is not a swear word" is the name of the town?

But Kylie Minogue and Sherbert ARE culture!

Sorry, commacide is one of my strong suits.

Waipu is a place. Whakapapa isn't a swear word.
