This is not a direct testament to what I said a while back, but it does drive home my point that when we act out on a level with so much media coverage that it reaches throughout the world, it can have far-reaching ramifications of the way some people view us.
I fail to believe that after doing that routine once 20 years ago and having the level of education that these Australian men have, that they don't see how this is offensive. The fact that it's an "act" or "all-in-fun" is not an excuse. And just in case you weren't aware, Australia has it's a little history with racism as well.
Kudos to Harry Connick, Jr. and his remarks.
One person's good fun can be extremely offensive to another person.
