Straya (is also an example of a racist/chauvinist thing that is normalised)
Yes this. It sucks here. Xi pls help us.
And those same people are expected to hate on themselves because if you can't take the piss out of yourself (and by extension let others recycle that 'humour') then you're 'up yourself'.
Aussies/Anglos: "Hahahah why don't you go eat dog you chng chng"
Chinese person: "Eh, it'd still taste better than your food."
Aussies/Anglos: "Wow, that's uncalled for. That was just banter but this is just racist. How dare you?"
Anglos "Hey we hated on the Italians, then the Greeks, then the Lebanese, then the Vietnamese, then the Japanese, then the Indians, now the Chinese, now we pretend we're okay with the others so it's your turn just shut up and take it.
Chinese people "Actually I won't let you. Fuck daishuguo"
Anglos: "this is offensive to me and the removed, removed and removeds"
Australia's "happy go lucky" "banter friendly" attitude is extremely selective.
apartheid state says what
Yes
I thought Straya was just Australia with some syllables removed. I don't know the context that makes it racist.
Dirt Owl and I live in Australia, and it is very white racist and anti-communist. Every time there's a liberatory revolution, all the capos come here (well, a lot of them).
They're saying Australia is racist, not that the term "straya", short for Australia, is racist.
