i know exactly what you mean. i think a weird aspect of it is that people's actions are often better than their words, so they'll say terrible things but then act kindly and respectfully towards people of other cultures, so i think (hope?) it's less malicious than it seems, but really it's a dead loss.

also sometimes it is definitely malicious.

(nb this may not be true) i remember reading years ago that up until the 1960s it was legal to shoot an aboriginal for 'trespassing' on yr property

the misogyny is pretty bad too, it depresses me, but you can't spend every minute of the day in a rage, you just can't.

dear estela, i've been meaning to tell you: the first thing i did upon arrival in australia was to buy a bag of jaffas and a long black.

lxy, Thursday, 8 October 2009 07:26 (fourteen years ago) link

ps all of the ausilxors are so so nice, absolutly lovely, top notch as our estela would say

lxy, Thursday, 8 October 2009 07:27 (fourteen years ago) link

except for the lecture about how we'd spread the vegemite wrong, and if we'd only spread it right we'd have loved it haha

jergins, Thursday, 8 October 2009 07:38 (fourteen years ago) link

sounds like denial re: an inferior product to me!

te,he (tehresa), Thursday, 8 October 2009 07:41 (fourteen years ago) link

i'm good at rolling my eyes and no one noticing. it's an art

jergins, Thursday, 8 October 2009 07:42 (fourteen years ago) link

if they believed we'd spread it properly and still didn't like it, they might never trust us. best to let them think it was because of poor spreading technique.

lxy, Thursday, 8 October 2009 07:43 (fourteen years ago) link

"no it's not shit, we're just incompetent"

jergins, Thursday, 8 October 2009 07:44 (fourteen years ago) link

i've suspected all along that the vegemite testing night was a heavyhanded blunderfest.

estela, Thursday, 8 October 2009 13:24 (fourteen years ago) link

owow

spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 9 October 2009 00:32 (fourteen years ago) link

i just had a brainwave, i opened the homecoming vegemite to check how much had been used during the testing and i almost fainted when i saw how much was missing, it was about ten loaves of bread worth.

estela, Friday, 9 October 2009 07:45 (fourteen years ago) link

after the tasting we flung it at the walls

jergins, Friday, 9 October 2009 07:50 (fourteen years ago) link
