What do you mean by "our" Women? White? I object to this.
"Our" likely means Aussie since it is from one of their papers.
If white women were being targeted for rape by black thugs I would say the onus of racism is not on the Aussies but on the black would-be rapists - or is that racist to admit?
It's the actual headline from an Aussie paper. It's safe to say "Our" means Australian.
I'm pretty sure they mean Australian women. Still, it's strange that they use "our women" like that, IMO.
Dipstick.
"What do you mean by "our" Women? White? I object to this."
You sound like a Jesse Jackson or an Al Sharpton. If you bothered to read the source, you would see that it came from an Aussie. Get it?
"Our women" is in the title of the original article. Articles are posted with their original titles in order to avoid duplicate posts.
I believe they mean the fact they were foreign, strangers in a straaaaaaange land.

None of us can speak for the Australian man as to just what exactly he meant however, it would be quite reasonable to think he might have meant the women from their group of people banded together. Much like someone might say "our women folk" and meaning our family women, our church group of women, or maybe our country women folk. To necessarily "think" it is a racist remark is jumping to wrong conclusions on this. Just my take on the interview.
Our = Aussie. You've never been with a group of tourists in a foreign country?
Oh, get over the PC crap. I object to you being offended at what is apparently an honest story and viewpoint. "Our"......probably meant Aussi......
I'm sorry to see you're still taking flack for your comment in post #3. Obviously, some of these people never read down to #34. With all the racial comments in these threads the last few days, it's easy to be misunderstood. I am also getting TIRED of it. Thanks for the laugh awl.
"Our" refers to the women who are Australians. The report is written by Australians and printed in an Australian newspaper...you sure are uptight!
the article didn't say "our women" were white, just like it didn't say the perps were black....hmmm....am I....are YOU implying something here? hmmmm
whatever....
