'Abo' is short for 'aborigine' ~ ie an indigenous Australian. English-speaking people have a habit of shortening words like texters do.
Actually it is as deeply insulting as the word "n.i.g.g.e.r" is, Herbie
Well, they've got to get over it. If you Australians can call each other 'bastards' ~ with no harm done, then it's time the Indigenous Australians (21 letters and one gap, ffs) took a different attitude to the term 'Abo'.
Yes, all those darkies should just get over it! I mean, so what if the term only exists to denigrate a group of people, they're just being touchy, amirite.
Quote:A couple of million English, Scots, and Welsh immigrants have had to wear the derogatory term 'Poms' ~ but I haven't heard any of you deploring this terminology as unacceptable and politically incorrect.
Probably because the rest of us do not have to be told to not use a smacking ethnic slur, retard.

Anybody who grew up in Australia in the 1950s and 1960s would know that/
I've told you before, Brian ~ I'll call Abos 'Australians' the day they decide to scrap the aboriginal flag and stand with the rest of us under the Australian flag.
Yeah, screw them fr wanting asense of identity reflective of who they are as a people. Why can't they just act like good white Australians? Those uppity darkies!

As you've been resident here since you fled your native land of China,
You racist bastard. You couldn't resist publishing my racial credentials could you, you Gweilo bastard?
Next, you'll be calling me 'Cookie-boy!'
Hmmm, is there a proper term for an Asian Uncle Tom? I know, how about Uncle Herbert?
Quote:You see what I have to put up with, Mr Chard? Huh? I'm seen as part of the Yellow Peril and the Asian Invasion of Australia!
Don't come looking to me for sympathy, you racist asshole. You can kiss my unnatural black ass.
Why should the blackman be more sensitive to name calling? Because they never enslaved white, 'strange fruit' were never white, whitefamily never had a burning cross planted in their lawn.
In Australia Whiteman was never hunted and massacred, never enslaved and chained to work for no pay, Never cheated out of his rightful slice of the GDP, never cheated out of land purchased under white law, never had to ask a black 'protector of whitemen' for permission to marry and there never had to be referendum in the sixties to recognise whitemen as people.
The blackman is entitled to have a chip on his shoulder and he's entitled to expect the whiteman to respect it.
The thing that's really wrong with racism, is that it's entirely negative in effect. No society was ever improved by higher levels of racism. No person ever became happier by adopting racist principles. it's nothing but an unscrupulous ruse used by wannabe community leaders as a fast track to power.
