AUSTRALIANS EXPLAINED
David Marr in The Guardian last month:
“You didn’t have to have unique insight into the Australian psyche to know that blocking the arrival of refugees would be extremely popular. [Liberal strategist Lynton] Crosby and others were daring enough to exploit this for electoral purposes and pander directly to the innate fear in the Australian psyche that slanty-eyed people from the east are going to invade.”
Well, if it’s innate, we can scarcely be blamed for it, can we? It’s our nature to be racist trash; that’s why we refused to give a single cent to those slanty-eyed folk in the east who got hit by a Jap-sounding wave a few months ago. It’s a wonder David could tolerate living off our innately racist taxes for the past three years.
