i don't think you have to set out to be racist to mange to be racist.

but if in australia the people described by the word wog don't themselves see a problem with the word, and the people saying it don't mean to disparage people darker than, say, Les Dennis by using the word, then while i agree that there IS a helluva racist culture there, that word isn't a part of it.

i wouldn't use that word ever, no matter where i was though...

so the paki shop's cool too?

i stick by my statement.
