Uncle Ho

Pinko's,

As much as I admire the nationalist hero...

Reminds me of wearing my Uncle Ho t-shirt to an anti Work Choices fuck-over-the-workers rally at the SCG some years ago now, and narrowly avoiding getting into a fight with a Vietnamese barman in the Ladies Stand.
I would never dare wear that t-shirt here in Campsie, as Vietnamese folk would come from miles around to bash me senseless, without any doubt.
Really really dumb decision by the restaurant owners - don't they know that every Vietnamese person in Australia hates the commo's with a very deep passion and their fathers and grandfathers were members of the South Vietnamese Army?
Geeesh, take down yr little history book, and have another look.
