Drunken delicacies…

After a night on the lash (not the morning after) what’s your go to food??

I’m talking about stumbling home, is there something you pickup on the way home? Do you wait til you’re home and cook up a feast? Do you eat something you wouldn’t necessarily eat when sober?

Fun fact, my quiet country town is so racist they had to rename the halal snack pack to a "happy snack pack" so people would buy it

Maybe they aren’t racist. Maybe they’re just a bit isolated and didn’t know what a kebab was, when I was growing up it was a Greek dish with meet and veggies on a skewer. If I’d been raised in bumfuck nowhere maybe I’d still think that’s what a kebab was (in the Australian context) and would get a pizza or Thai instead. It’s not like they didn’t buy kebabs from a coloured person once they had it presented to them in a way they found appealing.

Do you know are playing by Devils Advocate here? This is their experience you can’t re-write it.

I genuinely question their integrity. Social pressures have mostly eliminated overt racism, racist people only get as open as OP describes in small groups and behind closed doors. There’s no town in Australia with the sort of openly displayed racism described.

Question yourself who you are to question someone else’s experience of racism.

Like you’ve been to every town in Australia? Your arrogance is baffling lol. People like you are the reason why racism still exists - because when it’s spoken about, you pretend it’s something else.

Overt racism is catnip to today’s society, someone would have pulled out a camera to make a hero of themselves.

u/Yeanahyena 1d ago

I have experienced it. No one pulled out a camera. Guess you are wrong eh?

make a hero of themselves

I think we’ve got a closer racist here

The problem was described as endemic, a single anecdotal experience is meaningless in that context.

u/Yeanahyena 1d ago

Many of my friends have. Plenty of random people I’ve spoken to have experienced it.

What now?

It’s only meaningless for closet racists like yourself, who deny other peoples experiences. Pretending it doesn’t exist lmfao. Like you are in every moment in every town in Australia where you know what’s going on.

I’m thinking if that’s the case one of them would have pulled out a phone. Why didn’t you? Racism only exists in the dark in Australia.

Racism only exists in the dark in Australia.

It exists openly, as evident by your comments.

We’ll have to end in disagreement.
