Deemed acceptable? I think we may be looking at the same coin from different sides. In Australia you dont try to deem if an article is acceptable for publication, you either agree or disagree with the statement made. The article is just a piece of social engineering from one persons view.
Really? So if in India, a national newspaper were to publish an editorial calling Australians a racist people, you would be okay with it?
Don't worry, it won't happen. Why? because publishing bigotry is not deemed acceptable.
I must of missed it, can you please post the section of that article you think is racist?
Last week ungrateful Indians were burning effigies of Kevin Rudd, while in Iran Muslim suicide bombers were killing fellow Muslims in the run up to next week's elections there.
There is no shame in most of us sharing Western Christian values. And if you are feeling morally, educationally and culturally superior to such people this morning, it's probably because you are.
You don't consider the above highlighted portion racist? Saying that Western values are superior to Indian culture is not bigotry?
Nah freedom expression should not have limits IMO. Unless you are deliberately stating false accusations at somebody then everything is fair game. As we say over here, "if you dont like it then change the channel"
Freedom of speech has it's limits in the sense that you can't get away by publishing racist drivel against a particular race/religion..etc
