I wonder if the other party would have got arrested if they displayed a white doll?

I'm racist, I hate white people

i grew up in a south east london council estate in the 70's, 80's and 90's and have experienced racism from the National Front and the BNP. This stupid doll is such a non-event that I'm surprised the Police arrested the woman in the first place. Complete waste of time.

welcome to Australia  Golliwogs are a common sight in gift shops.

2nd generation greeks and italians even refer to themselves as wogs here. I nearly choaked when my Gf's workmate said " yeah, my family and me are wogs"

How pathetic. They only banned them because some people were cutting them out and using them as bus passes pmsl
