Then stop saying it Australia day used to be about having a barbecue with your mates. It still is, but a lot of people seem to be reading a lot of shit into it that doesn't exist without them doing it.

Sorry, I've had this discussion too much lately Facebook was fucking bizarre this year. I don't want to take anything away from the terrible things white Australia has done to Aborigines because we still haven't come far enough.
Most of my boong friends love a good barbecue and I wish everyone would just chill the fuck out about it.

I really wish it could mean something strong but it gets thrown around by rednecks and talkback radio hosts so much that it's turned into a dog whistle for racistsIt is a very sad state of affairs.
