The problem is that 'drawling the line' is exactly what these people are doing with the PROUD INDIGENOUS MAN routine. By all means by proud of being descended from them (I hesitate to call it a 'background'), but in reality - both in race and in culture - you're a [predominantly] white Australian. The fact that his identity occasionally being questioned is the worst part of being an aboriginal probably tells you how deeply immersed in it all he is.
You answered your own question.
The relevant crowd around here has moved on to "identify as" for race too:
Ignoring the issues of having such a directory, if "identify as" is the accepted threshold, why are people chimping out about that professor who claimed to be black?The Office of the Associate Provost of Equity and Inclusive Excellence and the Institute for the Study of Black Lives and Cultures are preparing a virtual directory of Black staff and faculty. Black students have requested such a directory for several years. If you identify as a Black faculty or staff member and give permission to be included in this directory, please fill out this form.
Yet you all moaned when Tony Abbott, a proud English man, wanted to bring back knighthoods for the culture. Double standards cobber.
Not really he is a massive dickhead and he turned off most of the Liberal party with his captains call.

Anyway: Scotland
There was a woman on our local selling Facebook page a couple of years back trying to sell her Rapant Rabbit. She got about 500 abusive comments before some weirdo offered her double the asking price if she used it before he picked it up.
She accepted.
I often wonder where he buried her body.

Seeing as we don't really have a cycling thread it's mildly amusing seeing Dave Brailsford's empire slightly blowing up in his face these past few weeks.
Sky lolling their tits off that they got out when they did.
There is some excellent, delicious hypocrisy being vented forth by the Twitter angries over Barbados deciding that actually maybe that monarchy 4000 miles away should just bugger off.
Big fuck you from the People's Republic of Queensland. Labor should invite PM Ardern over as a double back hand.
https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/nat...17-p55wf1.htmlPrime Minister Scott Morrison will be required to quarantine himself for 14 days before entering Queensland if he wishes to join the state election campaign.
Nothing would bring me greater pleasure than seeing that twat charged for the murder of King Robbo.
I'd love to know who he actually is so I can makesure I'm not inadvertently funding his shit.
It's a collective, no?
It's Neil Buchanan.
It's one of the blokes from Massive Attack, or at least that's what I've heard/read many times.
I thought Damon Albarn was the lead theory?
The lead theory is some bloke from Bristol called Robin Gunningham.
The art is shit anyway, stencil art can do one.
Who was it who said he's Live/Laugh/Love for Britpoppers? Because they were right.
I like the clearly lethal ones in the middle of bridges. Props to you 'Dobs'.
Princeton sending that 'we are racist us like' letter out and the government taking them at their word and launching an investigation is unlikely to be topped by any university-related bullshit.
Yes, that is great. No matter what the findings are, they will look like complete idiots. It's either 'we looked around and found no signs of racism, so get over yourselves' or 'you are right, you are a bunch of racist morons, so here is a massive fine'.
And a three week course on race relations that they have to attend and also teach.

This is the most local news thing I've read in a while.
Why's that?
This is the most ridiculous news story I've seen in our local paper of late. Half a page on page 3 of the paper.
That starts to read like paid promotion. I had the burglary down as as weird non-news story. It came to my attention after it was linked in an "Elsewhere in <blank>" section after reading a story about Leighton Buzzard's third earthquake. Going from that to "Door handle broke. Anybody know owt?" was jarring.
This was a corker over here recently.
Enjoyed this story about one persons old telly causing a towns infrastructure to collapse.

Oh no I hope they're going to be okay.
35 million quid seems infinitely small compared to the amount they must be worth.
It's not cheap sending nonces to golf tournaments, you know.
You could be paying an Argentinian congressman to start sucking titty in the middle of a session thinking his camera is off instead.

Eurgh. This can't be the first time someone's done this.
Mad ting. How much is that contraption cause I need one.
Huge amounts of shite ----> <---- fan.
I'm not sure who Chris Teigan is, but she appears to have essentially live tweeted her miscarriage. It's very bizarre. Like, some of the photos of her almost look staged.
Yes, I saw a news article where there was a photo I assume for Instagram. Either she's asked somebody to get a picture showing just how sad she is so it can go on Instagram or somebody else has thought "I should really get a photo of this woman in her darkest moment" and she's then used it anyway.
I'm not disputing how traumatised she probably is but it's a weird thing social media has done to people if that's where their mind goes.
Got a lot of time for the geezer responding to it with 'haha'
Fucking cretins.

This website is basically taking articles from another and using some sort of thesaurus to change the words and it just comes out with some absolute belters.
Finally somebody with the balls to say what we've all been thinking.Too many bluffers and they’ll price Ole his job. The gamers he’s obtained there, they threw the earlier supervisor beneath the bus, they’ll do the identical to Ole," Keane spat.
