I’m with you. I prefer open, honest racism to all this PC sneaking around.

Did you ever notice how the white people who are the most wee-weed up about racism never live anywhere near the darker side of town?

Do the 400 years of history of the Irish being made to look like sub-human buffoons in American popular culture count?

I thought the “go to” racism of Australia was toward those from Tonga.

They have come from Tonga originally, but Australians are prejudiced against them because they're New Zealanders.

Thanks for pointing that out. That was of interest to me.

You don't suppose the tanning is "ongoing" to emphasize the blacker side of his heritage? While under the "suited" is much lighter. To be "more like them". I guess "color" makes this man. To not be looked at as Muslim.

Color should not be an issue. You raise an interesting point, "a fool in paradise".
