What We've Learned From Current Affairs Programs: Diversity!

(this list was compiled over coffee in bed this morno)

According to ACA and Today Tonight, you "carn't" trust the following:

  • Asian shopkeepers
  • Indian doctors
  • Lebanese nightclub owners
  • Italian smash repairers
  • Greek real estate agents
  • Polynesian bouncers
  • Aboriginals on the dole
  • Muslims, bikers, or builders of any kind*.

Whew! In this diverse and modern world, it's outstanding that we have such a well designed structure to guide us through the pitfalls of everyday life!**

Thanks youse, youse guys***!


* Tanja wanted "accountants" added to this last list.
** The sarcasm, she burns me.
*** Tanja wanted to end the post with "That's it - that excludes everyone who isn't "like us". Ah, Australia. Land of opportunity, this place." I rejected this ending on account of a) it's not true, there are many other racisms to apply, b) I enjoy sarcasm like a fine wine, and c) the last line makes her sound like Yoda.

At the risk of sounding like an ACA reporter:

The last Indian Dr. I saw was an absolute quack. His prescription for a chest infection was to tell me to take some cough syrup. Even the pharmacy thought he was nuts.

Heh heh.. lotchel. It's lots of satched. In one!
