Whats Worse - Sherman or Shaw?

anyone see john elliott on can of worms......dinosaur!!!!! amazed there hasnt been an uproar over the term he used to describe the indigenous...the crowd groaned then fell deathly silent.

Calling an Australian an 'aussie', is that racist?

No its not. But it has been confirmed that indigenous dont like being referred to by this name as it demeans them. If you say that to one of them on the field i believe you would get a lengthy holiday.

Never knew that word was offensive
My wife works in a goverment job agency in the northern suburbs and deals with the indigenous every day and one of the main questions on all the forms is "are you of aboriginal or torres straight island heritage?"If the government cant get it right how do you expect your average joe to?

They prefer the above rather than 'indigenous'. So the form is correct, they would find are you indigenous? offensive

This topic is extremely hard to understand. I am unsure what is racist and what is not these days
