What a sanctimonious hypocrite Craig Foster is! Apparently only non white people can be victims of racism. It seems that calling someone a 'stupid, white bastard' is not racist because white people are not 'marginalised.' Anyone can call me a 'white bastard,' or a 'white cxxx' and there is no racism there. Who exactly is the marginalised party in Kerr's diatribe against a copper? One earns millions of $$$ a year and is deified as some kind of heroine. The other is a humble policeman who has to deal with her theatrics. Foster may well be ashamed of his ancestry but I'm not. The contribution white people made to this country is enormous. "Hi Jeremy,Thanks for writing. I am endorsing any abuse at all. I make clear that using a derogatory comment or attack against a white personal is offensive, wrong and shouldn’t happen.But racism is when it has greater impact on a marginalised community.Racial comments should never happen. Period."

Seems he's right. It's the social circumstances that define the importance of a racist remark. So, a white Australian might here a racist remark that is wrong, but not be particularly affected by it, because in the context of the nation's circumstances it's not particularly threatening. Put that white person in Zimbabwe or South Africa, and an anti white racist remark might take on an altogether more threatening tone.
