FWIW also: "you wouldn't dress up as a paralympian by sitting behind bars in a monkey suit with a "SEE THE ONE-LEGGED FREAK" sign over your head."
I suspect some people here really would, and would vehemently defend their right to sick humour, as well.

I havent, I'm ok with being honest about that. Its something I have only learned later in life. And I do remember the B&W Minstrel show and those terrible Goodies skits and etc.

I don't want to sow more ill will between America and Australia. I mean, it's like when Tiger Woods called himself a spaz and Britain got all upset about it because over there spasticism is a physical disability or something and then we were all like "what? fuck you. we're not gonna stop saying spaz."

is it inherently racist to call your white band 'black pussy' though?

Tiger also did a spaz mime that clearly indicated he knew all about the "British" meaning.

On a livejournal comm I read, some people are incredibly strident about all kinds of words as "abelist" speaking of which. I saw someone get told off the other day for calling someone "dumb", I wish I was joking.

holy shit. i just googled up the original pic with his stance
http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2006/golf/04/13/tiger.comments/p1_tigerputt.jpg
and then i googled up some youtubes of people with cerebral palsy and goddamn if some of them didn't stand like that. but how would tiger know? i still find it hard to believe that it was an intentional jab at people with cp. it just seems too weird that he would use that word to that end.
― kkvgz, Monday, 29 August 2011 23:30 (twelve years ago) link
but then fuck that is an incredibly exaggerated stance.
It's a fine line if you're just dicking around (no offence meant to dicks btw) and stick your legs out weirdly because it feels outlandish, but I suppose if he followed up with "I'm a spazmo" or whatever that doesn't leave a great deal of doubt. Overall he should have known what would happen.

For the int'l audience, Herald Sun is a Murdoch tabloid (as if that weren't obvious already).

I wonder where these people exist tho because frankly, I dont personally know ANYONE who'd say something as dumb as "aboriginal dancers paniting their faces white is the same isnt it".

They would say it out of entitlement and cultural ignorance. Remember how many people there are who think "white aborigines" are faking it for land rights.
