To the Australian audience, all we saw was the humour as we love our friendly rivalry with the West Indian cricket fans. We don't expect an American audience to understand as they are not a cricketing nation.
Should we take offence to the comments you make about us? On this page alone I see someone refer to us as crocodile fuckers. I can tell you now that if were capable of fucking crocodiles (a dangerous apex predator that has survived since the time of the dinosaur) then I would have to say that we would be pleased with ourselves. It's so much harder than rooting a sheep.
Until the vast majority of Americans have any comprehension of the greater world and other cultures, we shouldn't care what they think of us.
I agree with the people who write that it is your own guilt about your own racism that creates these feelings.
Perhaps America would be better off talking about their gun laws and how stupidity with guns has led to death of yet another innocent child. He was only 4 years old and at church with his family, when a stray bullet fired in 'celebration' from some distance away was able to penetrate the church and kill the boy instantly. Why wouldn't this cause national outrage? Is it because he was black? Take a look at yourselves first before you judge others.
