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.

It is just a question Karli.  You are on a chat board.  If peeps never asked questions, my bet is there'd be very little chat going on.  I really dont think you can class Neros questioning as bullying.  Repeatative yes, but they were asked with politeness and a civil tone, it's not bullying imo.

I think though that the question is a tad tricky to just answer like that.  Alot of thought would need to go into designing a new flag, choosing the symbols and colors you want.  If it were me designing it, I'd need to sit down for hours and fiddle with a whole heap of different designs until I came up with one I liked.  I personally dont have a problem with our flag.  But it would be a good gig being the one to design the new one.  

I am sorry if I have offended you, because I do respect you as a poster here, I just cant help but pick up on hyperbole when I see it.

They were not all asked in a polite civil manner.  It was asked along with the accusation that I hate Australia and it's flag which is in no way polite or civil. 

This thread is not about the Australian flag design and I'm not going to get into the conversation about it with that poster in this thread.  

No offence to you.

Hello, everyone. This discussion is getting a little heated. Could we please communicate with a more civil tone. Thanks!

I much prefer the Mambo loud shirt a while back.  I can't find a pic of the actual shirt (even though I have one at home) but this a postcard of the front of the shirt.   I think it's time to give it a bit of an airing.

What have boat ppl got to do with this topic?

[muppet_detector]

haha

I just had a quick look at the picture and thought it was a religious one.

Thought that was Jesus holding a Bible sitting on a horse preaching to the "fishermen" in the boats - ie Jesus is here on Earth in modern times looking for more diciples

[muppet_detector]

Ok had another look, it appears that Jesus is in Sydney, riding a horse, looking for diciples.

The same message has been used in the past and it has caused the same arguments in the past.

I seem to remember a big drama being made when Cathy Freeman ran her victory lap with both the Australian and Aboriginal flag.

I thought that was really cool, from memory, others were offended.

Sometimes i think that people just like to argue.

---

Yes, It was cool and should have caused no offence to anyone. The Aboriginal Flag is an Australian National Flag.

'Racist' singlet debate reignites feud between Ray Hadley and Mike Carlton

Debate over a range of "racist" singlets has managed to reignite a longstanding Sydney media feud, with broadcaster Ray Hadley saying he would "put one on the chin" of long-time foe Mike Carlton.

Hadley's tirade appeared to have missed its mark. 

Carlton was instead informed of the comments via Twitter and quickly responded: "Sorry I missed it. Hadley couldn't knock the froth off a schooner."
