People everywhere will always be offended by SOMETHING!
That is my point, I don't agree with it but that is an argument that people were putting forward during the Goodes discussion whereas now it doesn't apply?
If, and that's a big if, the girl in the Goodes incident was merely merely commenting on how Goodes looked at that point in time without realising the connotations then it's racist because someone is offended. Yet in this instance people are offended that they have chosen to only represent Aboriginal Australian's in this side yet it's not racist?
For the record I voted it's not racist, stupid yes but not racist.
As long as we continue to treat people differently, either negatively or overtly positively, there will always be division.
If you're human you're human lets leave it at that.
