What do aborigines care about costumes on ice skaters? This is just the latest in a long line of pc bullcap. At first the story on this was humorous that the costumes weren’t authentic. Now it’s “outrage”.
Have ice skaters EVER dressed up in anything truly authentic? Next hobos and clowns will complain.

this minority group shows no class - their proper response should have graciously said to the skaters, “thank you for thinking of us with such a beautiful skating routine.”

Well then, the Aborigine skaters will just have to dress up as Russians! You pretty much summed up all of our possible comments with that one sentence.

Talk about hyperbole! “Outrage” implies everyone who say them skate got up and walked out in protest, or at least complained afterwards. Then we go on to read that some dance troupe leader and an “indigenous leader of the New South Wales Land Council” (whatever that is) are the only complaintants.
Until some other victim trollers hear about it. Thanks, Fox website! (at least it wasn’t another story about how to rev up your sex life).

So if they had dressed up as cowboys, it would have been a huge insult to cowboys?
This PC cr@p is completely stupid!

Aboriginal people were rightly sensitive about the appropriation of their cultural heritage.The only solution is to never speak of Aboriginals again, nor of their culture, lest we wound them.
We can't have wounding...

There have been stories posted here that liberals, do gooders and government in Australia basically have destroyed aborigine culture by forcing them into nightmare cities “for their own good”. Yet I’ve never read about that REAL outrage except a post or two on FR.
Bet this ice skater story gets worldwide attention, while the real story remains hidden.

But experts in Australia say Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin’smovements and body decorations bear no resemblance to that of the Aborigines’ 60,000 year old culture.
If it bears no resemblance, then they cannot take offense, so what’s all the wasted ink for?

I like that idea. And then when people have forgotten about those who are so thin-skinned, THEN we can make fun of them!

If that’s all I had to show for 60,000 years, I’d be too embarassed to admit it.

And so do you, Steve! Duh. They’re ice skaters. I don’t think they were TRYING to “get it right.” It’s, uh, uh ...art.
