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 find it amusing that a person who has complained about name calling finds nothing wrong with labelling people "bogan"

My thoughts exactly. English, Chinese, Greek, French even fellow Aussies, if you dont like it here, leave.

Why should we  leave? I think we should stay and try to change what we don't like.

which infers that there is more here that you do like than dislike.

An enterprise as large as an entire country with 22 million people cannot have every attribute that suits every member of the population all of the time. But if most of the things are the way you like them, and there are opportunities to make certain aspects suit your individual needs, then go for it, otherwise - leave.

Australia is about what is best or most suitable for the greatest number of the 22 million people that choose to live here, it is not about what is best for the individual.

It infers nothing of the sort.  *** Sorry, I read that infers the wrong way around  ***

The only comment I made is that I don't LOVE the Aussie flag. From that other posters have taken it upon themselves to claim that I said I don't like the flag, don't like the country, hate the flag, hate the country. and whatever else takes their fancy.

I said nothing of the sort.   It's none of yours or any other posters business to tell me to leave this country. It is hostile and it is uncalled for.

You don't think people have changed the country since white settlement.  Try checking out a bit of our history then come back and tell me if the movers and shakers should have left the country instead of changing things.  

Then again it looks like some would be happy to live in the past where women were not allowed to vote or work after marriage; would be happier if we had no electricity supply or sewerage systems; treated and labelled the aboriginal population as fauna;  asked permission from the UK before making decisions.

I find it offensive that people are being called "bogans" .

I like the singlet and although i wouldnt buy one, if i was given one, i would probably wear it as pyjamas.

Does that make me a bogan?

Are you calling anyone who likes the singlet a bogan or only those that wear it?

---

I find that hard to believe.

Bogans wear navy blue singlets.

If they come from Bougainville Island it is acceptable, otherwise it is a derogatory term 🙂
