I'm awfully bitter these days, because my parents were slaves...

So now Ben is being attacked for putting on clinics to meet fans because he's charging $200, wtf is wrong with Australia, leave the guy alone, AFL players charge kids $50 just to get a photo with them and former players charge amateur clubs $1000 to spend an hour talking shit. It's getting a bit fucking tedious now.

Ahhh being a good ol Perthling myself i was on the receiving end being called a wog c*** on numerous occasions in my life. It certainly is a melting pot of racism over here. But what i experienced in my childhood wouldn't compare to the racial profiling that happens because of the colour of your skin. If that indeed is what happened to Simmons then good on him for calling it out. He would understand it better than me.

Perth is racist but remember it does go both ways, it really is a free-for-all here.

As a child being yelled at for being a "white c*nt" by adult indigenous for no reason was pretty brutal when it's the furthest topic from your young mind.

That's unfortunate you've experienced racism, I was born in WA, but have dark skin due to SE Asian background and have experienced my fair share of racism, Adelaide being the most racist place I've ever personally experienced. You do realise though by calling yourself "white dog" you're just contributing to the problem?

So what if Ben was paid to come to Melbourne? Most sporting personalities get paid to make appearances.

He called out what he perceived as racism, normally minorities can pick up when someone is treating them unfairly. Uproar about nothing.

Huh? I think he had a pretty minor lapse of judgement with the insta-post. No particularly earth-shattering however.

Panties have been unnecessarily twisted in this case imo.

I’m guessing this moral outrage comes from a troll in a certain Asian country; otherwise, someone’s been smokin some real bad shit!
