what is a "wog"?
- toe_knee0
I originally means Western Oriental gentalman i think. But now its a derogatory term for anyone of Middle Eastern origin.
I cant believe how its being banded about in the paper. Its like seeing the n--g-r word in the Sunday Times

(Dec 12 05, 00:29)What's your version then?
- toe_knee0
The media made it out to be a race thing from word go. Headlines on most of the papers read " Group of men of Muslim origin bash lifesavers".
They published an sms message that was sent around in retaliation to the attacks telling australians to get together for some 'wog bashing' on cronulla beach on Sunday. They then had every camera in the city there to record the mayhem they had fueled. Nice little earner for them.

I understand. So it was a media conspiracy to enhance circulation. Superficially, that might be the case.
No "root causes" involved?
- embarko0
I think toe_knee summed it perferctly. It's just what the papers, TV and Radio wanted. And now they're trying to say 'they just report what happens'.
- toe_knee0
Of course there's a root cause' but the media always try and whip these things up.
There have been small pockets of the middle eastern community (just like small pockets of all communities) who have been harasing aussies on various beaches in sydney from bondi to cronulla. Locals were getting pissed of with it so decided to have a protest on sunday. It turned ugly as most mobs do.
But the media are blatantly fueling it. Cant blame them entirely but journalism in this country leaves alot to be desired. Shock jocks
