Just thought i'd let all you yankees know that the jackson five stunt getting wide coverage in the U.S was done on a comedy variety show over here in oz that has a segment called red faces (as a parody on new faces - a talent show) it is deliberatly meant to contain the worst acts you can think of, and there is even a specialised judge there to demean and insult the acts that come on. In that spirit i hope you can put the act in context. However if you really want to know if Australia is racist just look at the history of our aboriginal people and i think you'll draw the right conclusion....yes we are.
