The Australia Thread

Another great Australian.
Lee Lin Chin is awesome! Intelligent, multi-lingual, funny, unafraid to let her hair go grey in media, and one of the very few Australians of Chinese descent in the public eye. Just take a look back through the photos posted to represent Australia in this thread... :-( I can't work out how to embed Youtube in my posting like est, so:

Oh the other hand, racist humour is still funny, right?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNsjjIgPqJ8
That TV show was nominated for Best Television Comedy Series at the 2003 Australian Film Institute Awards. I doubt nowadays that a white comedian would "black up" and make fun of an Aboriginal Australian's accent, but Chinese people are still fair game, it seems.

You guys are all upside-down, how do you get your posts to come 'round the right way?

You can't. Admins are the only ones with the permissions to embed videos. With the recent spate of spambots around I for one am glad of this fact.
Also, I swear I have seen that same Lee Lin Chin parody back when it was on Full Frontal, or Fast Forward; people have been making fun of Lee Lin Chin for ever. I am not saying that makes it ok or anything, I just got a bit confused. What I would like clarification on is this one thing; Are you just focussing on Chinese people being made fun of for a reason? I mean, Chris Lilley was essentially making fun of Polynesians with Jonah in Summer Heights High and people were lapping up that shit. Chinese people are in no way the only parts of society getting made fun of, not even taking into account the big comedy targets like the opposite sex, or gay people (oh hello, Summer Heights High again! How I hate you). Would it be ok if the people making fun of the Chinese were Chinese themselves? I just wonder why you always seem to be so asian-centric in your opinions.
look out! Ninjas!:
