Easydoesit "Not surprised. Australia is a very openly racist place", are you serious?!? Make big accusations about a country and you better be able to back them up… lets hear it then.

Just saying that this act was done years ago when Hey Hey was originally on and they guys were called up to re-do the act on the Hey Hey reunion. I don't think they at all meant to intentionally cause any dramas.

This was the same skit they performed 20 years ago.

It wasn't offensive then!

These guys are just performing the same act.

They were medical students at the time too…

Oh and by the way, Australia is not racist!

I take offense to that.

Im from australia myself.. and it offends me that so many people think australia is a racist country.
i do agree that the skit was bad taste, but i had absolutely no idea (just as many of my friends were) about the history of "blackface" and i think/hope that the performers were just ignorant, and not racist.

Re: kateo – Wow, where did that rant come from? I never said Canada was part of America, and I have never met an American who tried to claim Canada as their own. I'm Scottish and did the research from a non-biased point of view. Yes, Australia is one of the most culturally diverse nations, but America has people of more nationalities and cultural backgrounds within its borders. Sorry, having lived in and having done extensive research in India, I can tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Re: Serena!!!COLON!!! You Twats –
actually Canada is the number two most multiculturally diverse nation… we all know that Canada is better than the USA and Americans are always trying to claim them as part of the USA but really, they're an individual nation… Australia is third in the stakes
but claiming number one is India…
so, actually, America isn't 'the most multicultural country on earth' Serena, you twat!
