Not really surprised slightly, Australia in general is a showerhole when it comes to racism

Nevile Jetta was targeted at the Dees v Dogs game as well

as multicultural as we Aussies claim to be, I think the majority are inherently racist - it's not to say that most are bad or mean-spirited people (some of it is evolutionary instinct, you're supposed to be fearful of what's different - that's why the wilderbeests don't make friends with lions ;)) there's this quiet undercurrent of racism but it's somewhat universal to everyone imo.

Australia is definitely much better than the US and even places like Japan (very monocultural generally speaking) which sort of sounds funny.

Adam Goodes should try being a woman. Then he'd have something to complain about.

After my first post on here, the first thing someone commented about was regarding the way I look.

The Indigenous population has been treated a lot worse than the female population, so if you had any form of empathy you'd think differently...

Heard a white guy was racially vilified at one of the games... No one seemed to think anything of it or do anything about it though...

Nope its more or less a summary of why racism towards white people doesn't exist.

I think there'll always be this kind of thing at football games, and the way Essendon and WB dealt with it is the only way to go
