Comments on: Or you could grow a skin http://sbbs.johnband.org/2005/06/or-you-could-grow-a-skin/ As fair-minded and non-partisan as Torquemada. Wed, 07 Mar 2012 07:16:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: Z http://sbbs.johnband.org/2005/06/or-you-could-grow-a-skin/#comment-8506 Thu, 08 Sep 2005 11:39:00 +0000 http://sbbs.johnband.org/?p=1194#comment-8506 Hey sheepshaggers, I’m a real live American here in Oz. First, I’d like to say that the kid at Griffith needs to stop being a whiny little pussy. Second, I’m having a great time here in Qld and I’m glad I came. Third, believe it or not, us ‘sepos’ aren’t all arrogant, ignorant dickheads. I know most Aussies aren’t being malicious when they use slang like Sepo and I think everyone needs to calm the fuck down. As long as I can ask you about riding a kangaroo to work and the wonders of finally having electricity, I don’t mind the sepo thing.

Reckon I might give them a ring and have an American installed under my house…

The first sentence describes "hate attacks", and the dickhead from the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Commission classifies calling someone a Sepo as "racial vilification."

That’ll be the last time I check the "white" box on a survey form. From now on I’m writing in "American."

Some of us recognize the concept as well as the phrase "taking the piss" – but anyone who goes abroad thinking that everyone loves America deserves to be called worse than a sepo.
