I assume calling someone of Arab descent an Arab is now racist but calling Indian migrants shoe shine boys is not.
I assume Freediver is going to give Andrei a boot in the arse and revoke his moderator status.

Attacked by a notorious racist like Andrei who not only posts vile filth about asylum seekers, black africans, arabs and pretty much everyone that is not whiter than white while also heaping racial abuse on other forum members like John Smith is quite disgraceful.
I do expect that Andrei will be stripped of his moderator status and banned for harassing other forum members.

This is on the rules page:

http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/forum-rules.html

Racism

Discussion of racism and race related political issues is encouraged. However, politically correct language should be used when making criticism of racial policies or groups. Racism will be judged in a similar way to pornography – that is, is the criticism necessary to get a point of view across, or is it a gratuitous attack on a racial group? Note that race is treated differently from religion, which is a matter of choice and is open to the same criticism as political ideology.

From the limited investigationing I did, I agree with Andrei. You are welcome to repost the offending comments here for the purpose of discussion.

I'm not sure what this is all about, but, assuming it is this ~ given Hockey is an Arab, as Bronwyn Bishop would say, 'there is no point of order, it is entirely accurate to refer to Joe as an Arab.' You can call me 'Aussie Aussie' all day, and I will not be offended, and neither should anyone else on my behalf. I'm sure Andrei is not offended when he is addressed as the 'Boer Andrei,' and I'm sure he would not be happy if anyone got all offended on his behalf.

I doubt that is where the germane problem lies however.

If people don't like a politician or political party then fine, I get that.

Feel free to openly criticise.

But on separate and many threads to consistently bring in the Arabic heritage of a politician where it is completely irrelevant is against this message board's rule on racism.

In fact, and I wasn't going to share this originally, before deciding to suspend Adelcrow for the latest set of remarks, I wondered if I was being unfair.
I asked a lad who works with me - originally from Cairo - if he had found them offensive.

He said several of the comments to him were offensive reading them as a young Arab man.

He didn't even know who Hockey was and wouldn't know a single thing about Australia or its politicians.

I feel perfectly comfortable to suspend Adelcrow for continuous racist comments which are not acceptable.
This rule has been applied to anyone - they too will face the same suspension if I see further racism in this manner.

Banning Adelcrow is unfair. Most of us know that he was just fooling around. Andrei you might not realise it, but the racism you regularly display, is equally if not more offensive to some of us. You might use more civilised words, but the intent is still there.

Same goes for George when he referred to a gay political figure as a poofter. He was given a warning. Has anyone bothered to pull up those from the right who torment Buzz constantly with their filthy comments about homosexuality?

Once you start exercising your "do as I say not as I do" here - there is going to be dissension.

Political figures can be made fun of. It's not as if Adelcrow or George were being personally abusive to members - they were making fun of politicians and their ilk which the RW's also do, but with impunity.
