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.
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

If someone told me I spelt a word wrongly, I would appreciate it, take notice and spell it correctly from then on.
I used to spell separately wrongly ( TAFE teacher pointed that out). IN REAL LIFE.
Please "appreciate, take notice and use the correct spelling of the same adverb used twice in your above response. The "how?" word.
i.e. How did you run? I ran quickly.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I don't target people.
I don't need to and won't stoop to that level. I am comfortable enough with myself, therefore I don't intentionally look for and find fault in anybody else to make them feel uncomfortable.
An invitation was sought by you, for "someone" to correct you if you were to make a spelling error. So I did.
Unfortunately, you won't acknowledge my own investigation into the use of the word "wrong/wrongly".
There is no acknowledgement or agreement that we are both, in fact, correct in the matter. Common-day usage.
(Please remember that my education of spelling and grammar was common-day for that time - 1950s. Goodness, I realize I still don't use an 's', or spell colour in the accepted common-day manner.)
I acknowledge your investigative nature.
However, knowledge doesn't always come from a few selected articles that may suit your own argument.
Further investigation may afford you another avenue of thought. Just as I investigated further, to come to the conclusion that we are both correct.
I also stated further on that I allow for people's typographical errors, and personal constraints.
I have learnt that, often, the views of a person who has some restrictions are more interesting people who may view life from a different perspective and are compensated with a special incitefulness; regardless of spelling, "typos", etc.
They can be a breath of fresh air.

It may come across that way to you or anyone else with an agenda................ however you would be mistaken.
This continually trying to make this to be much more of an issue, than it really was, is also akin to the bullying some have accused others of doing.
That has to be one of the best 1-2 blame it on you side steps I gave seen in awhile are you sure your not a politition am3
