I think he is making his feelings known pretty clearly in these posts. |
I've been around this & the MLB board long enough to form the opinion that you, shoewizard, are not a total fucking idiot. So imagine my surprise in reading something so stupid in a box next to your name. "Ew, I'd never go to Australia." was about as clear as I could make it, but let me reiterate: I wouldn't want to visit Australia. Ever. How that points to a supposed bigotry toward Asian people (any people at all?) is completely beyond me. I don't even know what else to say. I can't believe you so badly misinterpreted one sentence.

My bad.
Please accept my apology.
I am totally capable of being a fucking idiot sometimes, and this appears to be one of them.
Again,....Sorry. |

How do you think the typical American tourist group is perceived overseas?
Where do you think the phrase "ugly american" came from? |
I totally agree, in fact I had one with while I was in Australia "we'll just blow em up". I was just stating that there are people who would stay away from touristy spots of all kinds of different ethnicities and still not be racists. For instance a lot of the "born & raised" in Australia stay away from downtown for that very reason and the "ugly american" is more a part of that than the Asian or Middle Eastern tourists.

| Right on, gary. My only beef with the Aussies is how they've treated their native aboriginal people and the attempted extermination of the kangaroo population by a select few. |
Yeah. the aborigini's only wish there was such thing as a "Reservation" out there. It's appalling. As for the kangaroos, it's sad that they're treated as they are, but they're everywhere. What's tragic is the Aussie's attempts to utilize 'roo as a substitute for beef.

I don't know anything about the huge east coast cities, but going to Perth, on the west coast was major cool. Great folks, not a huge tourist place. Women were awesome....did I mention women were awesome?  |

A few of my coworkers did some work in Perth and really enjoyed it <as much as you can when you're there for work>.
I was actually in downtown Sidney the day Australia did their big "I'm sorry" to the Aborigini's. There was a march of about 200,000 people and a plane in the skies over Sidney wrote a big "We're Sorry". |
