A shattered Adam Goodes says his superb performance in Sydney Swans' win over Collingwood on Friday night "means nothing" after being racially taunted by the 13-year-old girl in the crowd.
You're confused. There is no consititutional right to ba a racist in Australia. 13 year old learned a lesson; In Australia...you can't run your mouth without consequences. She chose to be at that function/game...if she couldnt comport herself to the rules of Australian society...she could go and kick rocks.
If you dont like Australia's rules...dont live there.
Political correctness? I'm guessing you didn't grow up in Australia in the 70's where the Aboriginal people were almost unanimously referred to as "abos" "coons" "boongs" and "darkies".
Thank God it's changed, and this child has been called out on her despicable behavior. Of course it would hurt if someone called you an ape because you were black. There's nothing wussy about that, after your ancestors have been decimated by genocide and your people are relegated to the reservation.
So basically, what you are saying as that a person doesn't have the right to feel hurt and indignant about someone calling him a racial slur? Who are you to say what a person shouldn't be hurt by? You aren't that person. So he's a "wuss"?

You have no idea of which you speak.
I don't think said person cares at all. This person screams "political correctness" when an Aboriginal person is indignant about being called a racial slur, I come to this conclusion: What it shows is that person sides with the 13 year-old girl who called that person a racial slur.
I'm glad whites are thicker skinned. Imagine if every white guy went to crying everytime someone used the words "redneck", "cracker", "whitey", "hon-key", "white-trash" or "anglo"?
