Is this singlet RACIST

Looks like yet another storm in a  tea cup from the easily offended no sense of humour and we hate Australia mob

 

This Singlet and T-shirt has been available for a number of years on the web, on eBay and in many shops around the country until some super sensitive poonce from Canberra on an end of season  footy trip to Cairns with his team  decided to get himself all offended and post a pic etc and then the usual easily we hate Australia types all jumped on it  (seems some ACT AFL players are over sensitive)

 

So is this RACIST or simply a singlet that’s says you are proud to be Australian and  if you don’t like it here leave.

 

Is this yet another storm in a tea cup from the easily offended humourless types

An original Tweet by George Craig from Canberra  posting a photo of the singlet with the caption “@woolworths cairns, selling racist singlets for everyday low prices! #racist” was shared by Greens MP Adam Bandt on his Facebook page.

To understand, you would have to know what has been happening in Australia for several months.  The beating of the war drums, the promotion of fear and intolerance.  Whoever has promoted these shirts is jumping on the $ bandwagon.  A certain radio broadcaster is doing the same with car stickers with the same slogan.

I don't "love" the Australian flag and I don't give a rats who wants me to leave the country because of that.  It's not their business and they don't own the country.

Racist or not I don't buy t shirts with slogans. Nor do I wear them. Dislike them no matter what the slogan is.

I never shop at Woolworth's.

 

 

Promoting intolerance??? this is what the crows of intolerance see in everything,  where does that come from?  It's only what the outraged see into it so best to ignore them.

 

The old tut tut brigade who see racism in everything, the left mentality sees  a whipping boy to further denigrate Australia and Australians.

It's not your business what shirt they wear either, or the fact that they are proud to say they DO love their country.

 

And it's their right to say they'd like you to leave because your stance. And your right to stay too.

 

Isn't freedom grand!

Isn't the flag representative for what your country stands for. So.... in a way your saying you don't care for your country.

Woolworths facebook page

It's come to our attention that two Woolworths stores were inadvertently stocking a singlet that we consider totally unacceptable.

This singlet was not one we ordered - it was delivered to us in error and should never been allowed on our shelves. We're going to review our processes to ensure this sort of error cannot happen again.

As soon as we were made aware we immediately withdrew the product from our shelves. The sentiment expressed on the singlet does not reflect the views of Woolworths. Woolworths has a policy of 'Doing the Right Thing' which means we believe in fostering an environment where everyone is treated with dignity, courtesy and respect.

Re: Is this singlet RACIST

I love my country and I do not need to wear a t shirt or other stuff with flags and slogans on them. My husband fought for this country and even he does not see the need for it.

Comes down to the mighty dollar again. Make the stuff and they will buy it. Lots of money for business. Nothing like being a slave to big business.
