Oh, this is fantastic, thank you. I'd been out of the media loop for a few days, so all the reports I was seeing/reading were assuming I knew the chain of events. This is the first time I've been able to see it laid out. The perceptions seem reasonably accurate, too.
Dad seems to be of the opinion that Australians will say racist comments about a group, but when meeting individuals from said group will be nice to them. The fact that being racist behind their backs is still being racist just...doesn't seem to matter him? Like they don't quite mean it or something. *sigh*
