And yet you can go into most novelty stores and buy a bumper sticker that says 'F&*k off we're full' and I don't see any Greens senator making an issue about that.

Seriously....if we are going to get offended by what's on that t-shirt, we all need to stop and take a happy pill.  I think its a fair statement and it could equally apply to any Australian resident regardless of their background. 

I know a few white Anglo Saxon aussies who could take this advice...!

Apparently it is fine for others to be proud and have pride in their countries, but unfortunately it's racist to be an Australian.
Political correctness gone mad.

How about adding a political angle (as if we needed another one!).

This just says to me 'Team Australia'.

If you're not on our team then go away somewhere and join a different team of your choosing.   Just don't undermine ours!

The whole schnozzle has racist undertones. Lets be realistic, this slogan has been the racist bogans chant for over a decade. The real crime here, and what main stream media has failed to portray is that the Australian flag has been hijacked and disrespected with this graffiti. Thats unAustralian. As is passive and inferred racism.

i think you mean:

how would australians react if they were in another country and saw a similarly patriotic shirt on a 'native/citizen' of that country?

i think, based on the reaction in this thread, there would be an appreciation of that person's love of their country and their agreed dislike of anyone who chooses to try and de-stabilise that country.

the shirt in question is not derogatory in any way.  it merely professes a love of our country and a dislike to anyone who tries to mess it up.

big difference.

Black white blue or brindle doesnt matter if you dont like the place even if you were born here take a hike.
 Seems to me those that are most  offended by the shirt, are the ones who want to force their own belittling feable fears or ideals and preduced veiws onto people, and get their noses out of joint  when people want to wear it and show a pride and believe in their country of birth or CHOICE and all it stands for, being a patriot is not about being a racist ..

Am I racists because I disagree with the following?

Kindergartens no longer being able to have their Christmas pageant because it offends
certain ethnics religions.

Schools stopping Christmas celebrations for the same thing.

Public baths, paid for by rate payers being closed to the general population at specific times
and only opening to specific ethnic populations.

Back in the past the Chinese came here to join the "convicts", then the Italians and the Greeks, yes Australians
(keeping in mind we are all imports apart from the Aboriginals) were very racist to new inhabitants from other
than the home lands, but eventually they assimilated into the "Australian" way of life, well actually we all assimilated
into to what we now know as the Australian way of life. The difference as I see it was the Chinese, Greeks  and Italians etc
brought their culture with them, they didn't try and change what was already there they just enhanced with there own
customs and adopted some of what was already there and the rest adopted some of theirs.

These days the minorities aren't happy with what's already here and they know how to manipulate the system to get things
changed to suit themselves and the rest of us not wanting to be deemed racists are to scarred to stand up to them.

I think we are very lucky here in the cultural diversity of our population and the positive changes this has brought about, but
when those form other countries, cultures and customs who have willing chosen to come and live in this great country of ours
try and change it because it is not to their liking then we really do need to reconsider where we are heading.

No I don't believe the flag was racist.

Pisses me off that these people come here for a good way of life that they see and know... Getting away from war, beatings, murders, etc...  But then when they get here, its not good enough for them. They have no respect for the cops or laws..

Why come here and want to change it back to the **** you left behind.. Leave it at the border when you come here - if you don't, **** off back to where you came from. This is not racist, its just how I feel. I don't want people coming here thinking its alright to behead innocent people - or police in Endeavour Hills. If that's how they feel, go and save the country your supposed to be fighting for - don't bring your **** here - that's not the way of life you came here for.

We are a peaceful nation, with certain things that are part of our life. Bike gangs running drugs, corrupt cops, corrupt politicians who can never be found guilty as if they were they would bring down whole nation and economy with the knowledge they have., corrupt local governments, minorities that run everything and people who are too scared to say boo as they will be deemed racist.

Anyone who wants to go fight a war overseas - buy em a plane ticket - but they take all their family and its a 1 way ticket.
