Can any one Explain the Windies "Supporters" in Blackface ?

The Gabba Test Match had several orange shirted white Ozzies(?) with
black wigs and black face"rooting" for the Windies.
This appeared to me to be plain and simple racist baiting . They
appeared to have been given good seats and no one appeared to think much
of it. If you found whites in the US going about as negro ministrels in
blackface, it would be considered a racial incident. Is it standard
operating procedure in Ozzieland ?

My only comment is - people who think of such things as racial incidents
need to get a life.
There are a lot of people in the US who need to get a life, it's true.

As for it being standard operating procedure, I don't know whether it is or
not. who cares?

No, we haven't yet "evolved" to the point of having our humour glands
genetically removed.

It's true, located somewhere near our colons (which explains the toilet
humour), the humour gland is missing in several
"improved" "civilisations", leading to a greater level of ***retention
among the "better" humans among us.

Good news though!  There have been several attempts to stop this
ridiculous behaviour and soon "joke" will only appear in dictionaries
(suitably annotated ones of course which are unavailable to children and
the rest of society which is unable to make up their own minds).

God forbid that people should be expected to laugh at themselves.

Who's wondering if you complained about the Anna Kornikova fans as well?
