So Long Sol. Don't Come Back.

So former Telstra boss, Sol Trujillo is leaving Australia calling the country, "racist, backward and like stepping back in time". Now, granted Australia does have its problems with racism and our history with our indigenous people is quite shameful, but should someone point out:
- The number of indigenous Americans were reduced from 12 million in 1500 to barely 237,000 in 1900
- Americans had slaves. And half the country fought a war to keep them
- Segregation
- The Ku Klux Klan
- Rodney King
- There have been plans suggested to build a giant wall along the US/Mexican border

Perhaps Sol has been out of the US too long to realise what 'racist country' really means. Perhaps you can hand deliver your apology when you get another look at your own back yard mate. But for now, go home Yankee.
