Few points, as one of the guys in the act pointed out, he was indian, and 4 of the other 5 guys were from multicultural backgrounds, not just '6 white guys'. This act was done 20 years ago to, and it didnt just not cause outrage, it won.
On the Australians are backwards about race points, we just dont care as much. Yes, we have our problems, and our bad eggs, but not like America, or really any nation can claim much difference. As someone pointed out, we are a nation of only 20 million, our dickheads stand out more. Back to the not caring as much thing, my group of friends is made of asians, indians, blacks and whites, and we give each other shit about it all the time. Most people i've met are like that, its just another thing to have fun with, like making fun of the fat guy, or the balding guy, we dont mean anything by it.
This whole thing is blown completely out of proportion. Its really a classic example of what the rest of the world sees from the American media, a bunch of overly self-righteous assholes, who are offended that someone else might find this offensive. American tv is some of the most 'offensive' stuff ive ever seen, and i doubt its ever caused quite this sort of commotion. I also doubt that anyone would have cared much if it had been mexicans, or asians being made fun of, but god forbid someone make a joke about blacks.
