Do you mean the part about Australia being casual with racism?

Harry O chimes in
The man who sadistically targetted another player on the basis of their physical characteristics
People have been murdered and tortured on the basis of their race
But Harry O wants to trivialise and piggy back on that
My sister was in tears every day of high school because people who sadisitcslly singled her out for her most obvious characteristic
Harry O would have sadistically abused my sister

Eddie has not given into beig called a raging racist just like Sheedy hasn't. Wtf are you on about? He has admitted that he said something wrong and coming from an influential person is even worse.
Do you understand that simply not meaning it is not a defence because it shouldn't be said and if you allow such comments like this it becomes more and more common.
Those calling Eddie or Sheedy a racist are wrong and overreacting. But they have said things that were wrong, and McGuire's was much much worse considering what had occurred in the previous few days.

You must be fortunate not to have seen instances of it day in and day out. I must say I've seen plenty of it, and not just decades back.
Anyway, I'm a fairly comfortable, middle class white bloke. I haven't had to deal with it, but I've seen plenty of it and have probably been guilty of it myself when I was younger. It seems people from other backgrounds have a different experience.

So are you suggesting there's no racial basis to Eddie saying Goodes should be promoting King Kong then...? Like he could just as easily have said, say, Barry Hall?
Don't really get what you're arguing.

I'm not saying it doesn't exist but Harry O is pretty much saying the majority of Australians are racist, which i disagree with.

Racism has a long history we must all understand - The Drum Opinion (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
For all those that are saying "why is calling Adam Goodes ape racist but calling Dunstall an ape isn't", I hope they read this. That includes some of the Indian cricket fans who said calling Symonds a monkey wasn't racist.

Mixed round this time. Somewhat of an all-or-nothing round, and there were some good, some **** scores.
