1. Notes: 8 / 1 month ago  from gatic
    Y’know, I can’t actually see a way to this being offensive. That man is an Australian, looking dignified, and is holding a glass of wine in a fine dining context. I don’t think there’s a “whiskey-drinkin’ indian” sort of stereotype being exploited or perpetuated here. It’s just use of an iconic image. If they were advertising unleaded petrol, that would be unacceptable. In case you were wondering, their website presents “Australian fine dining” as a “fusion cuisine” of Asian and Mediterranean background, with a focus on Australian animals and seafood. That’s … pretty good, actually. Though apparently Afghan camels are quintessentially Australian. I guess they aren’t as numerous in Denmark.

Cordell, 21. Adelaide, SA.

Oddities, propaganda, tallships, helicopters, typography, foxes, rainy days,
science fiction, mythology, sacrilege, social liberalism.

These are the things I like. Look on my tag cloud and despair.

Girls with their clothes off,
paintings of men on horses.

I enjoy listening to music.

Let's be friends.
