I merely implied race is one of the 9 protected USA Federal classes. Do you disagree with my contention here? I don't know who is or isn't offended by a cartoon. I'm not at offended. I'll bet one baht baht former President Obama would not be offended by any caricature of him as long as it wasn't something sexual as in a photoshop kind of thing. Good luck. It's not a federal matter, it was an Australian newspaper, published in Australia. The opposition to the cartoon is being touted as "global outrage", that portion of the globe that contains the USA. The world is a bigger place than that. Most of the"globe" just sees it as an amusing cartoon. Interesting that the real objective of the cartoon was a skit at liberal political correctness. I guess that the US snowflakes don't like being called out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took less convicts to make Australia as great as America is Americans know Billy the kid and Jesse James were murdering outlaws. 50,000 convicts were transported to America between 1718 and 1775. http://convictvoyages.org/expert-essays/north-america 164,000 convicts were transported to the Australian colonies between 1788 and 1868. What I find odd about this thread is the lack of understanding that the rest of the world including America knows that cartoon is racist. Australians/(Brits?) almost universally in this thread have not grasped the simple fact that that cartoon is racist. The thread is not about being a "poor sport" it's about racism in Australia which is lost on the Australians here. I think Australians have a perception that as a country they are not racist compared to other countries like America. Which is obviously false. One only has to read this thread with an objective mind to confirm that. "Australia is deplorably racist, as people of colour are reminded when they speak up. Australia is deplorably racist. It was founded on a racist document and hasn’t improved. The recent surge in racism is not an anomaly. For many white, liberal-minded Australians, recent media commentary over the appearance of a notorious white nationalist on the Sky News channel was the first indication that our society remains deeply stricken by racism." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/10/australia-is-deplorably-racist-as-people-of-colour-are-reminded-when-they-speak-up But following an uproar over a neo-Nazi being interviewed on national television and repeated comments by top politicians over "African gangs," questions are emerging over whether Australia is a more racist country than it would like to believe. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/08/07/australia/australia-racism-interview-intl/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
