I'm more concerned that apparently Nic Nat is a 'character'...
The costume thing was for Book Week and asked kids to dress up as their favourite character. Me thinks the mother should read to her son a bit more.

Of course he is. He's been put on the spot and effectively asked to be a spokesperson on these matters. Wouldn't wish that on anyone.
He had vitiligo. Autopsy confirmed this.

She does, the Footy Record.
Even when a white skinned person wants to be black like his hero its racist, **** me...
Racists BTFO. Should be charged for this.
Since when was Australia the 51st state of the USA?
This political correctness madness is getting out of hand. Now we need to be culturally sensitive to the history of other country's pasts?

I can't believe this "incident" is even talked about. It's nothing. No one cares, and the only people offended are w***ers looking to virtue signal by being offended on behalf of others.
I don't believe it's racist and I think if anyone is offended by a kid (with help from a parent) trying to emulate their hero then I think they need to examine their own thoughts and feelings and become either more compassionate or resilient or whatever they need to do to see this as an isolated thing and not some broader hate crime.
But it's still not something that should be praised and it's still inappropriate and it should be treated as such.
What I don't like in these situations is the name calling from both sides. Particularly when it comes from people who should no better. Educated academics, social commentators, minority group leaders etc.
Typically the left side starts with calling things racist and adds a bunch of other adjectives really designed to belittle the opposing side and then the right side like the mother in this case crap on about the PC police and justify their actions.
In the end hopefully they both look stupid and the people with some smarts and compassion walk down the middle like Nic Nat has done and show us all how to be better.

Please, please explain to me the relevance of our country's past with regard to a kid who adores Nic-Nat and decides to dress up like him for a school costume day. Kids have idols, kid loves Nic-Nat, kid wishes he was Nic-Nat.
KID'S A RACIST!
The political correctness police will never be happy until everyone else leaves this country and they can exist in their own utopia of outright lunacy.
Yellow.. what do you have against Asians you racist ?

I'll certainly do that, as soon as anyone can come up with a definition of "cultural marxist" that isn't laughably meaningless.
Anyone who looks at the global contemporary capitalist world would find it hard to believe that we are living under a Marxist hegemony.
Anyone who takes a cool look at the last three decades of politics will think it bizarre that anyone could interpret what’s happened as the triumph of some all-powerful left.

No, when a white kid gets his face painted black by his own deadshit bogan mother who does so to make a point about political correctness, it's on the back of one of three things, ignorance, stupidity or racism....maybe a little of all three.
This is actually the opposite of racism which is why the outrage is so disgusting.
You're a dickhead. There was nothing racist about it the kid looked just like his hero, too bad the media and his hero are ****wits!

You're the dickhead who can't read.
The mum knew blackface would cause a stir, she did it anyway.
She's a ****wit at best, a racist bigot at worst.
Yeah because everybody is so precious... It's not racist though
The definition of racism Oxford
The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races:theories of racism
How can it be racist to make yourself look like someone of a race that in racist terms would be considered inferior, when your representation of them is in an idolising manner?
The answer is it can't. They were not degrading a race but instead admiring the sporting prowess of a person of another race. This would in fact be the opposite of racism.

A lot of people don't realise that blacks were persecuted here worse than the USA.
And when I say blacks I'm not referring to the indigenous. Many black slaves from the americas ended up here. I'm descended from one of them, and it was hidden from me until I was an adult.

Just take a bite
The thing is the kid wouldn't, infact its very possible that he wouldn't pay much attention to skin colour as meaning much at all anyway.

TBH so long as people get up on their soapboxes about this chit we have no hope of the peaceful future those very same people bleat on about.
