You do not have to agree with me, but atleast try to respect the fact that he is deceased. |
Read the post below. I has no issue with the man personally but I never agree with his international persona. I certainly respect the charity he does. Yes, he is deceased. I still don't agree that he was the 'true Australian.' He wasn't. He good man who enthusiastic about animal. Like I said, he far more popular in your country than mine. I don't share your passion, and that all I will say on the matter it is totally irrelevant.

Yes stereotype is very upsetting and very dangerous. People need to remember the kind of damage labeling a whole community can do.
