Is this singlet RACIST

[nero_bolt]

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.

I object to the flag and what it is used and abused for.

So you hate the Australian Flag then...... says it all 

I don't believe the flag of another country has any place on our flag today. 

what would you prefer as our flag?

An appalling comment  re out national symbol but what we have come to expect from the bitter left on here. I love my country, like the flag and will defend my preferences to the death.

Wonder if we will get an answer as to what flag they want us to have

WT???

Beheadings have nothing to do with this conversation, absolutley nothing.    

How could any rational person draw that conclusion from the comments I've made about a Tee shirt?

It is against Australian Law to deface the flag by superimposing slogans onto it.

No, please don't rewrite my words then attribute your version to me.

I did not say I hate the Australian flag. I do not hate the Australian Flag!

I heard that credlin is extremely disappointed as she had already chosen it as one the bogan slogans for the next Federal election...oh well, never mind.

[boris1gary]

if you hate it stay - yes, stay and join the LNP govt as a minister - seems that is exactly what they are doing - Hating Australia and most of us who live here.

Same could be said for Xmas, Easter, Valentines products.

Yes and I am one of those. Same for mothers and Father's Day. Consumerism at it's best.

It is inciteful and feeds the "us and them" mentality. There are things about this country that I love and things that I loathe. Should I stay or leave?

For some thing to be racist it must single out as spicific group based on their race and vilify them, this shirt does not do that the shirt might be tacky but it is not racist
