quote:

The NSW Police Force, known for their usually witty social media antics, has sparked backlash after posting their version of Beyonc�s �Single Ladies� to their Facebook page in which it instructs women on how to stay safe on, presumably, Tinder dates.

All the single ladies,
(All the single ladies),
Now put your hands up,

Up on your phone, surfing apps alone,
Doing your own little thing,
You�ve decided to swipe, have a super like,
Now someone�s asking to meet,
Keep yourself safe (safe),
Tell a friend your meeting place (place),
�Cause it�s only worth it if you�re okay,
You can't be playing with safety

This really reads like a newspaper article copied into a history book to show people how xenophobic and backward people were in the lead up to WW2 or whatever and how public sentiment was turned against whatever minority group.

People getting defensive about being racists is Australian identity as it's a direct continuation of the tall poppy syndrome. Being against racism is a tall poppy.

Nah they stopped doing them a couple years back I think. Too much hurly burly and excitement! Everyone would much rather get smashed at a winery before settling in for some down home racism in the front bar at the woolpack. Ahh memories.

He had a meltdown on his blog about it:

quote:

On Meade then goes, quoting a Labor MP who disgracefully suggests I am whipping up anti-Semitism - a foul and ignorant smear, given almost every literate Jew in Victoria would know that no mainstream journalist has defended their community more strongly, and few have done as many fundraisers:

The president of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, Jennifer Huppert, said articles such as Bolt�s do nothing for the cohesion of Australian society.

�There is a rise in ultra-rightwing activity in Victoria and this type of activity can fuel antisemitic, anti-Islamic and general racist debate and language in our community.�

I expect an apology from Huppert for this cheap smear. Not a word in my article disparaged Jews.

Had here we go with the fascist left shutting down the speech they don't like. I didn't agree with all that Bolt wrote but I do respect his right to raise those issues to be debated. That is the lifeblood of a healthy society. Integration is an issue and should be able to be put into the market place of ideas to see what stands up and what gets shredded. Shutting this stuff down doesn't make it go away. It just goes underground and you end up with Pauline Hanson.

There is a line with racism, but I didn't think this article was anywhere near it. Bolt is respectful of other cultures and values their contribution to Australia but is critical of the lack of integration recently and thinks its an issue. I think he went overboard with his statements but again that's for the ideas-sphere to argue about.

Woman racially abuses staff at Bribie Island Chinese restaurant

A WOMAN has been filmed racially abusing staff at an Asian restaurant north of Brisbane before trying to flee with someone’s dinner.

Staff at Bribie Island’s Sun Lai Chinese Restaurant were told “this is our country” by a woman on Wednesday night.

In a video posted to Facebook by Darren Mutze the woman argues with staff over payment.

“I haven’t f*****g eaten for a month … and you turn around and do this. Over a fried f*****g rice man,” she shouted.

“This is our country … I just want my food.”

The woman then walks around a counter and grabs a bag of food.

Staff can be heard yelling as they take it back.

The video has been viewed 53,000 times with people condemning the woman’s actions.

“Poor staff having to put up with that,” Janet Bernhardt said

Angel Riesenweber said she felt sorry for employees.

“The poor little Asian women makes my heart hurt,” she said.

Mr Mutze posted the video to a Bribie Island community page after asking the woman to leave the eatery.

“Anyone recognise this female that I just stopped from stealing food from the Sun Lai Chinese on Bribie?” he wrote.

“Full on racially abused the staff then tried to run off with someone else’s food.”
