Actually what shits me is how often people misuse the word racism and really have no understanding of what racism actually is. It’s a buzz word that people love to say, they think it makes them sound politically astute and socially aware. 90% of the time, comments perceived as being racist are actually just stereotyping. Racism is very, very different to racial stereotyping.

To be honest dude, even if you say "Aboriginal" or "Native Australia" those immediate negative thoughts occur anyhow.

No I was being serious. But it was an old Nokia phone anyway and I got a new Iphone out of it. Every cloud has a silver lining....
