As much as I hate to agree with luds, I think hes right. Its an old goldfields term, there was an inlux of Chinese arriving during the gold rush, even were a few race riots.
You idiot - why wouldn't someone admit they dislike Mundine because of his race on here? It's an anonymous forum - what about all the blokes you claim to have heard shouting racist remarks at Mundine at Panfers? Why weren't they scared to say these things out loud within earshot of you and everybody else? Have a think about that you dumb ****
hahaha luds pwned by sally nice work! It was blatantly obvious what luds was trying to do - introduce a racist term to the forum, announce that he was of that ethnicity, and then hope someone would use the term he introduced in an abusive manner towards him so he could :|:|:| about how racist everyone on here is. Seen it all before, both on here and in real life...these ****s start **** up, then play the race card as soon as they can't handle the heat...just like....Mundine :yep luds must think we're all as thick as he is :roll: What a dumb **** - just so you know luds, your ****ing ridiculously moronic state has nothing to do with your ethnic background, regardless of how you choose to refer to yourself, you're just a dumb mother****er plain and simple :yep
Sally, I've read copies of the Mount Alexander Mail from the 1850s & 60s where the term is used. My home town was in the middle of the gold rush and at one stage was bigger than Melbourne (now 10,000 people). I've studied my home citys history extensively. Trust me, the term has been around much longer than the 1950s. And believe me, I hated having to agree with luds on this one item.
how can you agree withthe one interpretation? both interpretations are correct. HOW****enEVER........ the fact of the matter is, it is southern europeans that are defined as wogs, not asians. europeans are not orientals. keep it in context. the australian use of the word wog is of southern europeans, not asians, lebs, turks, indians, pakis, etc, etc. so how does his interpretation of 'wanker oriental gentleman' have precidence over the meaning in an australian context...it ****en doesnt. mine does. you ****s are both wrong.....and you agreed with HIM....lol
and thats the crux of the debate....wogs in australia are in the context of working on governemt schemes/service. not in the context of 'oriental gentlemen' because that is not the context it is used in australia. asians are not refered to as wogs!! and they are not who he is refering to. he is refering to european ...um gentlemen.. so lugs (sic) explanation of 'wogs' is out of context regarding the australian use, and you are wrong to support him. southern europeans came to work in australia to 'work on goverment schemes-services... .
you and bru man are lost. seriously lost. I feel for you guys but am also entertained by you two puppets. Anyway cant help either of you im afraid as im limited in the field of spastic related illness so thats enough from me about why mundine is hated............but sally love your work champ. You were starting to sound educated until i found out you googled your answer.:yep:yep:yep
Here's the OP again just to refresh our memories: 102 posts later, none of which contained even the slightest hint of racism towards Mundine, our new resident jee-knee-us has run out of patience and has to jump on and tell everybody exactly why they don't support Mundine Another 57 posts later, in which no one agrees with luds, but many actually disagree with him, he's still telling us all why we REALLY don't support Mundine I love dumb ****s, they are so easy to **** :yep
firstly....i was right all along, said my bit, used my knowledge. i simply used google as a reference to back my FACTS when you stupid ****s ****ed up history... 'poor ****...there, there.....dickhead'. we realise you are spastic. we also realise that despite the medical attention you recieve, doctors cant dissuade you from posting on forums..atsch till your meds kicked in......luds..:yep hey luds. have you, in your ancient past, ever, ever, had a champion relative? or is spastic, your family crest?:-( nah. you got no crest. no history. you are nothin. a no one. a slave. less than a punter. no wonder you cling on to racism....it makes you feel....MORE...
There it is again. Take a deep breath and read it through slowly. You said the term was originally coined in the 1950s. It wasn't. It was used a hundred years earlier. Thats all. Thats my point. I didn't **** up history. Nor did I try and change it. My understanding of the word initial would be the first or shall we say, the initial time it came to being. Now I'm not a history major, but I reckon 1850 occured before 1950.
