        Not wrong lol. Australian humour is a very tricky thing to understand for outsiders.

        I was once accused of being racist for telling a story about how I joked that my black friend didn’t need sunscreen.

        Unless you understand how Aussie humour works, you won’t understand that I’m actually saying “I don’t give a shit about what colour your skin is”.

        For the uninitiated, much of Aussie humour revolves around how much you can “take-the-piss” meaning, “I know where your boundaries are, and I’ll show you that I respect you by walking up to that line, but not crossing it”.

            Was at the beach with some mates and had some sunblock, after I SlipSlopSlapped, I asked if my black mate if he wanted some, then quickly corrected myself saying “nah you’re alright, anyone else?”

            He had a chuckle and said “fuck you”, then I gave him the tube because black people still get sunburned.
