KFC AD RACIST ???

[Stramash]

me and a friend had a musical project about 3 years back.

we decided to court controversy by calling the project the 'Kerfuffle Klux Klan'.

Ripped off some graphics from KKK sites and played about with them

Now a retarded 4 year old could have told we were taking the utter piss out the real KKK and all they stood for.

But did that stop a massive amount of 'hate messages' to our myspace music page??

Nope.

What % of these messages were from Americans?

Guess.

:roll:

Guess you didn't learn your lesson ...

how COULD you Defile our wondrous role model to all things Amerian

THE Col. :evil: :evil: :evil: :roll:

a wondrous role model mainly founded by Scots settlers and farmers!!!

Why then did we make nasty Burbon then?

(oh wait that would be aquestion for Dr. TF

that would have been the Scots and the Scotch-Irish!!!

our distilling expertise, American corn and a French name!!

Surprised George W did not order Bourbon renamed 'freedom whiskey'!!

In time honoured TF fashion I wanted to change this thread (KFC is so boring and crap food afterall) whilst still retaining the elements of Australia and racism with a more relevent and highly emotive current issue.

What is this cartoon about you may be thinking?

Well in a very quick summary, a number of Indian students in Melbourne have been subject to violent assaults in the last 18 months plus. Most unfortunately, one was killed last week late at night in a park on his way to work. Some of the attacks are apparently racially motivated whilst other attcks are apparently opportunistic thefts which result in bodily harm with the victims nationality or enthicity being incidental to the crime. Initial crime stats do indicate a problem though with crimes against people of Indian ethnicity going up by 30% in the last year.

There is a problem in Melbourne, as in any large city, of violence yet the city in comparision to many large cities in the world remains relatively safe. There are places to avoid at night like any city. Many personal assaults occur in proximity to nightclubs and pubs with the combination of youth and alcohol consumption being major factors (many UKers will be familiar with this trend).

Quite rightly Indian students, and there are tens of thousands in Melbourne, feel under seige. However, the response in India itself with come elements of the media has been verging on the hysterical. Racism does exist in multicultural Australia like any country.

We have our dark stains of history (we tried to kill of indigenous people, apartheid laws in SA were based on 1930s Queensland laws and we had a White Australia policy until the 60s to name just a few examples) and our more recent expressions of ugliness, xenophobia and intolerance.

Unfortunately a certain segment - a seemingly combination of age, socio-economic and geographics - of the population in Melb appear to be targetting people of south asian ethnicity in the current phase of blaming others for ones ills (a couple of years ago the Sudanese were punching bags). However, some incidents are seemingly not racially motivated with the offenders looking for easy targets as the victim could just as well have been someone of Lebanese, Kosovan or white Brit origin.

After some incidents and allegations of racism on the sporting field in the past few years, cricket being a national sport or near religion in both countries, relations between India and Australia have really soured. I am saddened that many Indians probably now view my home city as a place to be feared.

Yet I also feel (having seen some of it on Thai cable TV) that as usual the domestic media, Indian in this case, has blown the issues out of proportion - as the Australian media did with the Phuket bar mat incident last year or many other incidents involving Aussies in foreign countries. Such stories always do sell well back home after all.

HHUUUMMMMM...

what say you Phil???? :shock:

Well, since you asked.

Some people might disagree with me, so firstly let me say the following;

I was born and have lived all my life here in Melbourne, I know this city very well and it's people.

I have friends and/or associate with people from a vast and variety of backgrounds. Guys in their late teens (local football club) to people in their 80's, such as my old man and his friends (just for the grappa, lol)

I'm very close with my 4 nephews aged between 18-26, my 22 year old niece, and I know some of their friends. My 2 conservative older sisters, and my cool brother in-laws.

I know drug dealers, career criminals, druggies, dole bludgers, multi-millionaire factory owners, other parents with prams, work colleagues and friends, high school and uni friends, home buddies that I've known for over 30 years and their families.

Also, I'm out and about quite a lot, so very much in touch with Melbourne.

So, I don't come to this conclusion lightly and that is that many people don't like the fact that there are so many Indians here. Having said that, most of them are tolerant and wouldn't dare be abusive towards them.

However, I'm certain that there's young guys (late teens to early 20's) from certain areas who deliberately target Indian students.

Therefore, I have NO doubt in my mind that MANY of these attacks are RACIALLY MOTIVATED.

The Victorian and Australian governments are just trying to play down the situation, because they fear losing revenue from potential Indian students.

It's not an issue of colour but race, as I'm sure these young thugs wouldn't attack an African American. It's because Indians are seen as a 'soft' target. This problem won't go away in a hurry, unless the Indian students learn to fight back. They need to eliminate the perception that they're a 'soft' target.

The Italians and Greeks did it in the 70's, the Turks and Lebos in the 80's, and the Vietnamese in the 90's. Although, sometimes I think Indians are annoying, they're polite and extremely passive. Unfortunately, the latter trait is what makes them an easy and 'soft' target.

I love this city, but Melbourne has a huge alcohol and drugs problem.

There are lots of young men when fuelled by alcohol, speed and ice (not much ecstasy lately)become very aggressive and too often an Indian student is at the the brunt of their aggression.

Maybe the Indian community in Melbourne should organise self-defence classes for their students

good post Phil ..... i understand to a certain extent what u r saying about ppl learning to stick up for themselves, but IMO more should be done to protect these communities. also ppl need to be educated that to attack someone on the basis of their skin colour, ethnic group or whatever is just PLAIN F**KING WRONG !!! although any unprovoked violent assault is also obviously wrong !!

What is compounding the problem is the Indians themselves

Their lifestyle marks them as targets, most of the victims have been late night workers. Were by themselves. Were carrying laptops and or mobile phones etc

Maybe because most of them are students they live in low rent areas which are less desirable and high risk.

If the travelled late at nights in groups and left their electronic gadgetory at home they would be a lot safer. Unfortunatly this is not happening.

The police continue to deny that the attacks are RACIALLY MOTIVATED

" He had just come home from a dinner party with his wife and went to park his car when four men poured fluid over him and set him alight."

Then this from the very insightful police;

"It's unlikely to be a racially motivated incident as due to the timing and the nature, it's highly unlikely anyone could have targeted the victim in the circumstances,"

Yeah, the police must be right, just 4 typical young guys walking around on a Friday night, wanting to burn some random stranger from no particular race, in a random street that's no where near where they all live,

But the Indian government don't see it the same way;

http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/latest/6660657/indian-govt-angry-after-attack-on-man/

This is interesting coming from the police;

"The circumstances of parking a car randomly on a side street and just some people approaching him are a bit strange and it's highly unlikely, therefore, to be a targeted attack on any individual."

Usually, when something is quite common, then you can say that it's more likely to be a random attack, i.e it could've happen to anyone. But when something is strange doesn't that usually mean that it's more likely to be a targeted attack ???

Previously, the police said that he was coming home, now the guy was parking his car "randomly on a side street". Maybe that's where he usually parks his car. Not everybody has a driveway to park their car :roll:

Seems like the Police are constantly throwing the words "random" around as much as they can. Trying desperately to give that impression, instead of accepting that the crime wasn't "random". By accepting that it was a targeted attack, the evidence will more than likely lead them straight to the culprits.

Having said all that, maybe I'm just wrong. People get burned in Melbourne all the time. Just yesterday, I was walking from the gym to the bus stop, and I got burnt. Being bald, I really should be wearing a cap

[Admin_2]

KFC ended up pulling the ad.

yeah I am with you there too Phil ...got my hair so far...but

I burn every time

I randomly do not put on sunscreen! :roll:

Interesting follow - up...thanks

[luckyphil247]

KFC ended up pulling the ad.

:roll:

Yeah, I reckon they should've kept the ad on.

Whatever was said by any Americans, actually gave the ad a bit of controversy.

Keep in mind that the ad was playing in Australia for 2 months or so whilst the West Indies were touring here. There was no talk at all about the ad being racist, not even playing on stereotypes.

As I mentioned before, most Aussies don't know the stereotype that African Americans love eating Chicken

That bit of controversy, could've kept the ad alive for a few more months past it's expiry date.

I think KFC Australia, are just trying to present themselves as a caring company that doesn't want to offend anybody (even if they live half way across the world), when in actual fact the ad had already played its purpose by promoting Chicken and the test series between the West Indies and Australia.

The ad would've been taken off the air soon enough anyway, as the Australians are now playing against Pakistan.

Maybe KFC could come up with an ad next season, when India tours Australia. Maybe show a group of Aussie thugs trying to bash the Indian cricketers, but the Indians bring out a bucket of KFC Chicken and everyone is happy

[drlovelife8]

Some people just look for racism.

In my old home town of Birmingham KFC would be packed with black peopel 7 nights a week. All staff were always black too.

Maybe it is racist to give black people jobs then....
