Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/are-we-racist-golly-gosh-goodness-gracious-me-yes/ From the Chk Chk Boom girl to the anti-Indian ratbags in Melbourne, Australians are racist. I’ve come to this conclusion not because I’ve got three university degrees but because I’ve spent the past four decades being asked if I’m a curry-muncher. Not in a rude or insulting or abusive way, well, generally not. But in that genial, good-natured, piss-takey Australian way. Which is still racist, and which explains why so many foreigners – to use a popular and racist Australian term for non-Australians – regard us as such. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Antony McMullen) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/are-we-racist-golly-gosh-goodness-gracious-me-yes/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/are-we-racist-golly-gosh-goodness-gracious-me-yes/#item208 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:00:12 +0000 M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr
