Sorry, I can't comment on your video as it says there's a copyright restriction.
I just watched Media Watch ranting about a Malaysian bloke being racistly called a monkey. Yet the ABC promotes Chris Lilley. My response here: http://cottonward.com/2009/09/21/media-watch-are-the-monkeys/
Thats another funny thing that natural REDheads can be likened to OrangUtangs and called 'ranga'. Yet there is general uproar if any other minority is belittled by such ape/monkey type descriptives especially those of a darker complexion. I wonder why standing up for/defending the rights of darker skinned people earns more respect and Kudos [like adopting darker skinned kids seems to]. Every insult with regard to our colour is deemed a joke that we should laugh off while much larger 'minorities' are defended and protected by law. As we are only approx 1% of the global population we don't have the political power or the power of numbers to do anything about the pejorative view the majority express about REDheads. Sometimes I wonder what the word MINORITY means
