Comment on Yes, ‘Australian sushi’ exists. Get over it, argues Adam Liaw
Alaskaball@hexbear.net 10 months agoThat’s not to say that cultures don’t get appropriated, but is that a bad thing? White people rocking dreadlocks, cool. Black people sporting a kimono, nice. Asian people with Klan robes, what.

Australian sarcasm translates worse online than it does IRL

Not wrong lol. Australian humour is a very tricky thing to understand for outsiders.
I was once accused of being racist for telling a story about how I joked that my black friend didn’t need sunscreen.
Unless you understand how Aussie humour works, you won’t understand that I’m actually saying “I don’t give a shit about what colour your skin is”.
For the uninitiated, much of Aussie humour revolves around how much you can “take-the-piss” meaning, “I know where your boundaries are, and I’ll show you that I respect you by walking up to that line, but not crossing it”.
