Calling a Kiwi an Aussie is Racist!

Butter, vegemite and cheddar on a Sao. Always good.

When I go down under the equator, and should I take your advice and eat that, and it kills me? Ima gonna haunt your dreams Sir Thalin Athasian. Mark my word, everytime you lay your head down for slumber, I will be there hip hop rapping Judy Garland tunes on a broken turntable, in dragg dressed as Joan Rivers.

Personally, coming from a pretty mixed background (I'm part Middle Easter, part hispanic, and part European) I always find it amusing when people incorrectly guess where I'm from, and not only do I find it amusing, sometimes I just play along. I've actually found that people of a certain background feel more comfortable a lot of times if you are of the same background and tend to group you into it if you can pass. Ultimately though I don't see why anyone should be offended-people do much more ignorant things that mistakenly guess your ethnicity.

ALSO: VEGIMITE IS GROSS. SERIOUSLY.

Here's the thing, there are very few people who could say they are either New Zealanders or Australians by race. Most of them are white Europeans racially and the largest percentage of those white Europeans are from British roots. I happen to be a white Australian with mixed heritage but definitely European. I call myself Australian but that's the place I was born it is not my racial background. I don't mean any disrespect to the descendants of the earlier inhabitants of either country that pre-date white colonisation. Those peoples had other names for themselves and never called themselves Australians or New Zealanders. Both those (place) names are European in origin, so what I am saying is, there's no such thing as the Australian race or the New Zealand race. We are mostly mongrels (cross-breeds).

Race is a myth anyway. There's only one race and that is the human race. Within that race there are many diverse genetic variations and some of those variations can be associated with specific areas of the world but we are all one race.

What this is, is Big Brother and the Nanny State charging someone with a non-existent crime. It's a nonsense but that's what our world has become - a non-sensical joke.

Very well said Rodi.

Vegemite is wonderful stuff. You will never taste anything else quite like it.

Pavlova is Australian, I don't care what some possum hunter might have to say about that.

Looks like sheet rock putty, layered in wall spackle, garnished with kiwi fruit and strawberries.

mmmmmm delish ....

The creator of a dessert that will make you fat without requiring you to actually eat (since pavlova simply dissolves in the mouth) was obviously bonkers.... which in turn obviously means he/she was a kiwi.... it's simple logic

As to vegemite, it's essentially made from a by-product of beer manufacturing.... in essence it's beer-on-bread. What's not to love?!

Oh, and for those scratching their heads over "kiwi" being the name of a fruit.... it originated in China, called a Chinese Gooseberry.

Trust the Kiwi's to try to steal the good stuff..... like Pharlap.... oh wait....

Finally!!! SOMEONE Gets it!!!!

if i wanted beer on bread id simply dunk my sliced pan into my heineken and be done with it. some things just arent meant to work lol

[Quantum Leap]

I cannot figure out how or why anyone ever thought that eating it was a good idea. From what I understand, it was a byproduct of the beer making process? So perhaps those who first started eating it were really drunk??

It's an acquired taste. Then again, what do I know ... I was quite inebriated on both occasions I had the misfortune of having it shoved down my throat.

heineken

We need to get you a better beer sponsor.
