Look, there's no denying that this was in bad taste and whoever decided it should go to air should be fired.
Australia does have problems with racism - but er, what country doesn't? It wasn't too long ago some upstate country club in the US kicked out a group of black/mixed school kids. Here in the UK, Bruce Forsyth telling people they should "get a sense of humor" over the use of the derogatory, abbreviated Pakistani noun. The British National Party - the racist political party, is on the rise and gaining popularity all the time.
So while all you armchair critics are sitting there passing judgement on the 'most racist country in the world', you should also know that Australia has one of the highest foreign-born populations in the world - it's a very, diverse, multicultural country and I doubt that if it WAS the "racist capital of the world", people would still be lining up in droves to live there.
So think about that and maybe take a look in the mirror before you go spewing your ill-informed comments and tarring all Australian citizens with the same brush.
you are a tool!!! Your logic is just plain idiotic and I pity any children you might have, passing on your stupid retarded genes. You're also a shining example of why the USA still has such a loooong way to go when it comes to equal rights. But back to the topic at hand, bravo to this guy. A very thoughtful, articulate and INTELLIGENT statement. And bravo for proving that not all footballers are meatheads.
The show was crap, I'm surprised it didn't get the axe sooner.

But glad to hear you enjoyed the show - it's about time she hauled ass over there for all her American fans.
What drugs are you on? On what planet is this fashionable? Me thinks it's all in your nutjob head!!!!!
