...REALLY?

No love,

I know! I mean Australia just doesn't have the same kind of relationship with African-descended people that the US does, but you'd think we'd develop some kind of clue at some point.

It's kind of mindboggling, yes.

Really.

(Sorry, random Australian reading friends page). Australia as a nation kind of sucks when it comes to the racism debate. And the times I have wanted to strangle one of my coworkers since Harry Connick Jr made the very correct comments he did is both irritating and telling. If one more person at work start saying how it was just a joke I'm going to throw sharp objects at them.

Most nations suck at the racism debate. This is just a particularly public situation. And all are welcome here :)

I am being unfairly general, I know, but it's just so appalling that so many people don't have any problem with what happened at all.

So many vocal people don't have a problem with it, I guess.

On Hey Hey It's Wednesday, a group of doctors dressed up in blackface and did an act as the Jackson 5; Harry Connick Jr found it appalling and said so right then and there; and now apparently many people in Australia don't know why he would have been outraged by it.

Er, on behalf of the many sane people in my country: we apologise for our morons.

We're not all like that! Thank god, say I.

But I feel even more justified than ever in my massive crush on a certain Mr Connick ;)

It's pretty impressive. On the other hand, it's awfully nice not to be the country coming under fire.

*snuggles, just 'cause*
