Question to the moderators? Why is it permissable for Australians to refer to Americans as Seppos? My understanding of the derivation of the term is that comes from septic tanks, which rhymes with Yanks. A derogatory stereotype for an entire group of people, especially when used in a post that is rather hostile to one individual of that group would not appear to be consistent with BF's policies. Certainly, everyone would agree it would be inappropriate to refer to other vaqrious nationalities by a host of derogatory titles, which I won't list, but you all have heard. Then why is it ok to call Americans Seppos?
