so we've seen a few people that know Hendo personally pipe up about him being a good bloke which was then slammed as it's no excuse for being a racist. I don't know him from a bar of soap other than reading a pretty interesting discussion, but I figured it's worth throwing in my 2 cents worth.
Obviously being a naturalised Australian doesn't not automatically exempt me from potentially being a racist myself, however that may or may not add credibility to the fact that I have seen discrimination and reverse discrimination both from still speaking with an accent and also through being more often than not the only girl in a male dominated industry.
There IS no black and white. You cannot possibly put a line and label everyone and everything as left or right of that line. That's not just in racism, or human rights vs priviledges, that's in life.
Good on you Hendo for not backing away from an argument- we all have different views and may disagree based on our experience or understanding of a concept. I disagree with a few points that you've raised, but I lack the time/effort/imagination/will to argue those, besides Wendy's been raising a lot of interesting points for continuous debate (some of which I also disagree with, but see above)
I hope that your way of approaching a topic from a number of viewpoints has convinced at least a few readers/posters to reconsider their admirable, but narrow sighted views. or at least concede that slightly left of arc is not necessarily equivalent to Hitler.
oh, and I'm not a racist, I hate everyone equally =)) |
