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.

Hmmmm...... im defence of am*3 (Dont' get used to it though) i must say there is a flaw in the logic regarting navey blue and bogans.

 

Just because some bogans wear navy blut T-shirts it does not equate that anyone wearing a navy blue T-shirt is a bogan 🙂

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Is this singlet RACIST

But calling another person a bogan is ok?

If a lot of educated, experienced in their field, people left Australia this country would suffer from 'brain drain'.


Do you think that any person worth their salt will be concerned enough to make life choices after reading a slogan on a t shirt worn by a "bogan"?

 

Any person, regardless of their education or experience will determine if the opportunities available to them suit their needs or at least suit them better than elsewhere, and if not, they will leave, regardless of whether it is written on a singlet, the side of a building or in sky writing 100 ft high.

Where did a poster call another poster a bogan?

 

Bogan has been used as a general term not directed other posters.

Re: Is this singlet RACIST

The slogan is for the benefit of the wearer, it is a means of attempting to assert their misguided authority.

But I am sure you know that 🙂
