Chad remember recently when I referred to something you posted as the least funny joke in the history of mankind?  I owe you an apology.

No you don't... at the time it may have been.  It is no longer.

If my example is not based on race, but on hair, then yours is based on height, not on race.


If you're talking about MY example, WHAT are you talking about? How could the fact that my barber turned over a cushion so i wouldn't sit on the same side as the last customer who was aboriginal, be about height?

Barber booster seats are usually higher on one side than the other.  Anyone who has brought a small boy to the barber would have seen that.

I wonder how many people in this country understand the difference between racism and racial discrimination.

Racism is natural and part of recognizing the difference between yourself and another individual.

is that like if you have a flat tyre all you have to do is turn it around so the flat bit is at the top? i guess im going to have to spell it out. it wasn't a booster seat, it was just a thin cushion thingo like you might use in a car. It doesn't matter which side you turn it, it will still be the same height. When the previous customer left (who was about the same height as me and not a small boy), the barber looked at me, screwed up his nose and made a deal out of turning the cushion over...

Just give up your dumb analogy.  It doesn't work.  There aren't any barbers in an Aboriginal tribe.

That's where pointing comes in.
They keep telling me THAT's not polite either, but it has its uses.
You point at the kid, and say "You, in the red shirt".
That way all the OTHER kids in the red shirts know you're not talking to them.
