Re: Dean Jones sacked after "terrorist" comment
I never said all australians... that would be ignorant and very naïve. I agree that it would be 'stupid', but I wouldn't say that statement is 'racist'. The notion of racism usually implies one races superiority. By calling Australian cricketers racist, I'm not claiming that non-Australians are superior in any way.
It is evident that Australian players, fans, officials, etc do happen to be a little more discriminatory and bias than others. I wouldn't say this is a FACT, but it is a reasonable generalization in comparison to other cricketing countries.
And based on that observation, I think it would be fair to say that Dean Jones' comment solidifies the claim even further (i.e. that Australians are racist).
I don't want to start a huge argument... just wanted to clear my perspective.:)
