We are being racist here and are assuming that being australian means being predominantly caucasian white.

  >We are being racist here No we aren't. Racism is when you discriminate against a person due to their skin color. We're not discriminating against anyone.

    eh. racism is an umbrella term for being prejudicial and discriminatory based on a persons race. while definitely being prejudicial it certainly wasn't discriminating. also - article has a big photo of this guy's gormless white mug ;) also - he's from Sydney, so probably a wanker as well.

  His name is David Thornton (mentioned in the article, if you bothered to read it before commenting). Not 100% conclusive, but pretty strong evidence of being white, as Thornton is an English/Scottish name. FWIW, as a nonwhite person myself, I think that accusing someone of racism for assuming David Thornton from Australia is white is beyond idiocy.

  Or we clicked on the link and verified that yes, an Australian man named David Thornton does indeed look white in the provided photograph.
