Re: AFL giving themselves an out re: drugs

'I have links to the underworld' meh what a loser.

Not alot of love for Australian Soccer on this forum is there? Personally, there is a taint of racial stuff that I hate in Australian soccer. How does it go...Victory is for Croats / Serbs / some-other and this team is for blah blah?

Which AFL player would be dumb enough to brag about having links to the underworld?

Racial, i don't think so myself.

Re: AFL giving themselves an out re: drugs

I am english and it wasnt just the wogs who copped it, i still cop it now!
But I am proud of where I come from as well as where I am now.

Yes I bet it was comparable to what main land Europeans copped then and the Middle Easterners and Asians copped through the 70 and 80s.

Funny thing is the law agreed poms is ok but wogs is inappropriate?
We have a racial judicial system against a lot of their own background.
Thing that gets me is Footscray, we want integration and all the shops have different languages on the windows so people of english/australian language feel uncomfortable being there.
I am not racist but being an english speaking country dont you think the law should encourage both languages on windows?

How do you legislate for something to make people "feel comfortable"?

I'm not sure combating the problem of people feeling uncomfortable with another language is the most productive use of legislative time or effort.

Easy legislate its okay to have your language on a shop window but it is an english speaking country and we want both languages, make it an integration law, just as westerners in other countries must obey other countries laws or beliefs.
I know I feel uncomfortable walking in Footscray looking at windows wondering what the hell the shops are, feeling like I dont belong.
Dont you think that would help the different races mix?
We pride our selves on being multicultural but dont do simple things to help everyone most of all Australians.
We have let other races dictate our own identity in some areas.

ledge - Australian is a nationality, not a race - Asian Australians?

Just because some people have uncomfortable feelings about certain races of people, doesn't make creation of a myriad of legislative instruments a proper use of parliament - I'd prefer more importantl issues be looked at.

I thought this thread was about drugs, not racism.

Growing up in Oakleigh I knew a lot of people with this mindset. It's strange for sure.
