Was Greece the birthplace of humanity?

[Thryleon]

Understand and accept all that. People however do have different tolerance levels to it. Me for example? Water off a ducks back. I consider myself Australian as I was born here. My heritage is Italian of which am very proud of but I have never said "I am Italian". In fact, whenever I am (or was) asked "Are you Italian", ever since I was kid I answered "No, I'm Australian, born here but my parents are Italian". That's not in any way because I am ashamed of my heritage, on the contrary, I am very proud of it as I am also proud to be Australian. I have experienced what is termed "racism" all my life but I just dont give a fark. Am I thick skinned? Does it not worry me because I think of myself as an "Aussie" as opposed to a "Wog"? No idea. It just doesn't get to me at all. But I do understand that jokes like the one I made are now considered offensive and are a no go. Do I agree with it? No not really. Do I accept it? Of course I do.

All good mate.

This is an extremely mature way for this to play out.  No name calling just matter of fact discussion.  ????

I also dislike the word wog.

I too have a thick skin.  Not all people do and realistically they shouldn't have to have a thick skin.

It's a bit of fun police sort of thing but this is where we are as a society.  It's not always mean spirited stuff but that's how it's interpreted some times,and a bit of harmless fun can lead to mental health issues amongst people who can't deal with this stuff.
