Yes it is... but it does show how much times have changed. Australians have been guilty of similar racism too. Luckily we live in a more open and accepting society these days where this sort of thing wouldn't be tolerated.

And it was interesting to hear the original rendition of our club song ...

BTW... was that Chris Judd hiding in the doorway? :wink:

Could have sworn I heard him sing, "They like to send up."

Does anyone know the chords for guitar for Lily of Laguna? I want to play it for my son and I haven't got the musical ear to work it out for myself. I'll keep trying though.

Its very intersting to see and hear the song in its original context.

That was a different era. That wasnt the worst of what the African Americans endured. I think Americans are ahead of us in terms of accepting ethnic differences

Unfortunately, I think Australia is still fairly far behind in terms of tolerance of a different race. Although the bigger cities like Melbourne and Sydney aren't too bad.

Being of Greek Background myself - I get a laugh at some of my fathers generation talk about the "paleo" Vietnamese, Sudanese, etc.

I have to pull them up and remind them of what they had to put up in the 50s and 60s - and they just look at me and say "that was different".

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agro, as an Italian myself I freaked when Dad said... They're taking over! about the Vietnamese... I reminded him that Aussies said the exact same thing about him and guess what...

It's not the same...

I don't think you can call Australia a Xenophobic nation. Xenaphobia infers that there is a predominant race that shys away from other races. Australia has multiculturalism built in from its very inception and apart from a couple of "dark" periods (around first settlement with the aboriginals and the white Australian policy), I think that we're doing ok.

Being of Greek background, do you consider yourself Australian? Australian-Greek? Greek? or something else?
