The Night Thread Mk. IX - Off Topic - FM24

The ones calling for it to be changed to citizens day are the racists ones, they refuse to acknowledge it's a day dedicated to the arrival of the first fleet, it has nothing to do with race yet they don't want it called Australia day because we are a multicultural nation and aren't all "Aussies".

Canada apparently have the same problem with some of their holidays, it's kind of ironic how the people who come here from other countries for a better life aren't happy with the name of the day celebrating almost the very same thing.

I hope you know I was joking.

I agree the days name shouldn't be changed, but I don't think it being talked about being changed or being changed (if that happens) gives people any right to go off and racially abuse people (as I've seen on facebook).

I like how internet using Australians try to distance themselves from racism. Racism is the spinal cord around which Australia is built.

I've seen the racial shit too, it's basically anyone who comes from a different background calls for it to be citizen day and then you will get some redneck aussie calling him a towel head and telling him to fuck back off to his own country.

My reasoning for losing my shit however has nothing to with what country you come from it's that fact that the people calling for it to be changed say it's offensive to call it Australia day. However the name of the country is Australia and it has nothing to do with race at all yet people want to make it about that.

End of the day we all live in Australia, Australia day is a celebration of the discovery of the country that we now live in, (now this is the part where I tell people to fuck off back where they came from) if they find it offensive to celebrate a day named after the discovery of the country then they can go back to somewhere more suitable to their tastes.

English has fuck all to do with memory, as long as it's Literature.

Just go in and right any old bollocks and make it sound convincing and you're golden.

It does in the Leaving Cert were you just study a few novels/plays/films and are asked questions about the common theme between them. Your teacher just gives you a list of points essentially which you learn off and list out in your answer along with a load of bollocks.

Hardly; we're one of the few countries with anti-discrimination laws to protect citizens from racist and/or sexist maltreatment or abuse.

Sorry to bring this up, but Australians do strike me as being racist but not particularly worried about it - casually saying the n-word or p-word, or whatever, but denying that this would cause offence, or that it's not racist because they "don't mean it". Kind of like "I'm not racist but.."
