ITWG... why are you so uptight about it.

Canadians are happy to have her to represent their country.. what does it have to do with you? Why do you feel so cheated out?

If the Canadians think that she IS Canadian, whatever her heritage.. why does it bother you?

You are far too passionate about this.

exactly! finally something we can agree on!
thats why I say I am Italian!
and thats why koreans say they are koreans even tho they been living in USA for 30 years! or thats why you see indians in the corner stores saying they are INDIANS and not Australians!
same as greeks and most wogs, asians etc...
who is true blue, fair dinkim aussie?
the guy with the kingswood park behind the holden in the front law, the guy wearing stubby shorts and thongs with a VB in his. thats pretty pure blood! WESTIES MATE!
and the migration from those folks are, well they immigrated into the city!
and have evolved into city sleekers! well of course for a few anyway!
and every country has its true hard core locals!
MAte trust me.. people still say dunny..

Well, anyway, Miss Canada is one of the most stunning beauty contestant I've ever seen.... and she doesn't have that annoying toothy-greasy-vaseline smile that too many past contestants have had.

No, I do, and what a racist thing to say. If the mods weren't sleeping tonight, I'm sure you'd be banned, pronto!

No no no no no no no. I saw that word, and hoped against all hope that there wouldn't be too many reads afterwards so I could leap into the fray.

Most Brits get their knickers in a twist about this, but in Strine it's not a nasty thing to say at all.

It's not "wog" as in "gollywog", the hopelessly offensive children's book characters...

It's "wog" as in people of Mediterranean descent, like Italians, Greeks, or even "Lebs" (people from Lebanon), and only the Aussies (and maybe Kiwis) seem to use it. Nobody believes this (I sure didn't when I first heard it) but there's actually a sitcom down there called "Wogs Out of Work."

Sure, there are stereotypes associated with "wog culture" in Australia, but it's mostly just about guys putting concrete down instead of grass (then painting it green,) saying "Fully sick, mate, fully sick," wearing gel in their hair, and talking about their Camaros.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here, but we shall see if my assumption proves correct...

Well, here's a picture of a wog - no racial stereotyping here...

Who fucking cares? It's just a stupid beauty pageant and itaewonguy established himself as an uber-exclamating cokehead a long time ago. Miss Glebova will do nothing to benefit Canada, the world, or dare I say, the "universe".

Does that mean you no longer claim that an Italian discovered America?

I concur.....do these gals still yap about "world peace?" Rolling Eyes Although they are beautiful women, they should update the pagaent....it's starting to look like a joke with the same old bikinis, evening gowns, and their country-representative costumes. I read an article once that they want to change the pageant into a Fear Factor sort of thing...meaning girls have to brave slime and eat bugs, or something.
