Default Re: If a "Middle aged White male" BOO's in the forest, is he still a RACIST???

Agree with the political correctness gone mad thing....

What bothers me about the whole saga is that the indigenous round is about 'bringing two cultures together' (off the AFL's website), yet Goodes' war dance was the opposite, an aggressive gesture that was divisive at its core, and certainly not befitting an Australian of the Year. And he should have been taken to task for doing it when he did it. And if he had been, and acknowledged it, the crowd would have gotten over it and moved on. But we all know that's not how modern 'equality' works...

If a white player had made an analogous 'white' gesture at the indigenous round, he'd have been labelled insensitive, inappropriate, racist, would have been forced to issue a public apology, would have been forced to undertake some sort of counselling and take part in some campaign against racism.
