Poor steed, we've got a bloke like that near our place.

My street is a circle, split down the middle by another road. One half (my half) is quite pleasant, however the other half is filled with govt-owned flats, and populated with people who know neither how to wash nor conduct themselves in public.

My housemate n i are both predominantly white in our ancestory, but both of us have aborigines in our ancestory, in my case my great grandfather was half. We were discussing those on the other half of our street when a bloke across the road took offence to the terminology being used. he proceeded to give us quite a porly-informed lecture. Amongst his tirade we were both called racists. at this point, we both burst out laughing, much to his dismay and so he redoubled his efforts.

He got more and more animated and we couldnt help but laugh and laugh, eventually he threatened to call the police, and given our general area, if they come, they come by sixes. We asked why, and he said for racism and whatnot. Turns out he's of indigenous descent, and took exception to what we had to say. But the look on his face was brilliant when we told him of our own heritage!:rotfl:

this same bloke has (is strongly suspected by most on the street) of vandalism, muggings, and being a general pain in the ass. but if anyone so much as raises their voice to him, he cries to the police - ironic, no? They know all too well to respond to each of his calls, despite knowing that they're a waste of time, because if they dont he has and will get into the media about racial discrimination and whatnot.
