Guatemala Painting
Are Americans hypocrite?
Seriously, I can’t understand why Americans are so angry and pissed off about that skit show that was described as racist!
A few months ago, some Indian students were attacked in what Indians believed were racist attacks in 2 cities in Australia but Americans as expected did not care.
Gypsies in European countries are discriminated against on a daily basis and mistreated and 2 months ago they were attacked by some guys in Ireland and Americans did not care.
Mexicans in the US itself are mistreated and face racism everyday by Americans (whites and even blacks) but nobody cares.
Prisoners in Iraq and Guatemala were treated like animals by American soldiers and as usual Americans never cared.
So why are they so angry now calling Australians racist and insensitive after a few guys made a harmless comedy skit show about Michael Jackson where they painted their faces black and tried to act funny?!!
are we the only country that didn’t care?…..or are you just singling the usa out?…..we kinda have alot of our own problems right now.
