BRAVO!

Steve Waterson:
‘…From this position of privilege I try not to look down on other races or nationalities, but here’s the thing: I wouldn’t change places with any of them, no matter how fast they can run or how many words for snow they have.
Sorry, does that sound a bit insulting? No? Let me try again.
I reckon I can work out where you’re from just by driving behind you; half the languages in the world sound like bickering monkeys; everyone’s folk songs, dances and costumes are ridiculous; some countries have national delicacies I wouldn’t feed to my dog; even more have religious beliefs that are beyond parody.
I’m not singling out any particular nationality for abuse — though you know who you are — because I’d like to catch as many members of our vibrant multicultural society as possible in my web of insults.
There: that should put me firmly in breach of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, which says it’s unlawful to offend people on the grounds of race, colour, national or ethnic origin….’

At last – a journo with guts and principles.
