My FIL still calls me a bloody Asian when I walk into their house. Sometimes he even threatens to call the police. Cheeky bastard. As much as he hates Asian, he let his daughter to marry one.
So racist or not, it is up to you.:2tsup:
Does he tell you to put the money on the fridge?Quote:

All the Indian players are now trying to do is deflect the criticism that would have greeted them for losing the series when they got home.
They are as guilty of hell of inciting racial vilification and violence...look at the burning of effigies of the umpires and placards with the umpires names on them.
They are the greatest lot of hypocrites in world sport. I hope they pack up and go home like the sooky la las that they are.
As for Ricky Ponting...good on him for sticking up for a team mate.
and don't try to call a spade a spade in England.

:oo::oo::oo:
Mate some councils in London changed the colour of the bin bags they issued from black to grey to avoid any racial overtones....:doh:Quote:

Is all this caused by the bottom line,(money)?

When I was a kid I grew up in a small county town and was called "Effo" or "Wogboy" by the aboriginal kids and "Abo" by the white kids......sheesh, better get some councilling. And they all called me "Mowgli", the jungle book kid.
Maybe Andrew needs to look in the mirror, dreadlocks, big white lips ...fair dinkum, he looks like a golliwog doll :rolleyes: .
See ------ http://www.cartoonstock.com/lowres/cgo0065l.jpg
God save us - how did we ever get through Gallipolli and Kokoda :rolleyes:
And another thing,
If the indian said it and Andrew was so upset why didnt he sit him on his ????? :2tsup:, at least push him over.
Instead he turns to teacher - "He called me names" Blubber blubber blubber. :rolleyes:
Where is the wit?
Remember Boonies retort to:
"Why are you so fat Boonie?"
"Cause everytime I sleep with your mother she gives me a cookie" :D
Grow up sooks!
Except that:Quote:

Racism is ugly and needs to be stamped out. Anyone who thinks it is not OK to dob in this type of behavior is worse that the racist IMO.
If you are a white anglo saxon you are a target for everyone other than white anglo saxons. Any comment, gesture, look etc is interpreted as being racist, yet we have to endure all sorts of the same back without it being construed as racist.
Calling someone a name regardless of their color, religion or ethnic background does not always make it racist. (though the monkey comment cannot be construed in any other way, Harbajan was told it was racist, yet he chose to repeat the name the next chance he got.)
If I call someone an idiot it's not because I am racist, its because I think they are an idiot. (and I am not calling anyone here any names either:D)
And you don't think that's deliberate?Quote:

It's the best way of gaining control over an opponent. Have him lose the plot. That's what's happened isn't it? If he'd simply gone the biff or threatened, then there'd be no sting in that, but to actually dob, and to take the decision making process to the international board... well that's really had an impact.
Why are the Injuns going to pull out? Because they've been caught out by the INTERNATIONAL rules of cricket.
What does all this do for Ponting and Symonds' chance of a big fat 20/20 contract in India? HEAPS --- the world needs bad guys. Who were the best paid WWF Wrestlers, the good guys or the bad guys?
Wake up.
This is all about publicity, and money.

Makes me think that Harbajan got of lightly
