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.

Whilst this T-shirt may not be defined as overtly "racist", I do believe you have to look at the intent of the people that are selling it and those that would choose to wear it. It is a clearly none-too-subtle message to "foreigners" to get out. It scratches the dark underbelly of patriotism/xenophobia whilst offering nothing positive. I can see it being worn by the usual Australian louts with bumper stickers that read " F off, we're full". I wouldn't wear one for quids and I can't see why anyone would.

I don't see it as directed at foreigners as a whole I see as directed at anybody who does not embrace australia first and spends all their time demanding that we change to suit them

maybe youd like that as a flag seeing as you hate the national flag and all it stands for.

I do NOT HATE the Australian Flag. I never did say that I hate it and there is no reason to imply that I said any such thing.

No, youll never get an answer from the bigots and racists because they hide behind their empty rhetoric and  bias.

 

A

 particular trait of the disappointed and bitter old leftists.  So sad really.

Karliandjacko, I've never understood the whole wearing the flag thing, whatever happened to having Mum or Dad just writing your address on the labels of your clothing if you can't remember where you live. Woman LOL

What a disturbing thread.   Bullying, misplaced accusations, outlandish statements.  It's becoming a bit unhinged. The mods should shut this down.

Well you dont like it from your comments  WELL I will rephrase that....  you OBJECT to it and objecting to something would normally mean you dont like it

 

You also from your comments believe we should NOT have this flag as our one and also you say you dont like the flag... or love the flag

 

So basically you dont like the Australian flag then or what it stands for....

 

OK we all now have got that...

No, you're wrong about that. I am not in anyway saying I don't care for my country.

 

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

 

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

 

Big difference between fact and your assumption.

(to no one in particular)

Don't we live in a democracy? If we don't like the way things are going in the country don't we just vote to change them? We don't have to leave do we? Wouldn't that make our country something other than democratic?
