I only saw the headline, but would it really surprise someone that Ben was making something up for attention?

Australians are racist? I thought it was only Americans?

Wouldn't surprise me, young and successful POC like Ben are often profiled.

Does he have a history of lying or making up racial bias instances?

Crown Casino only allows people who can shoot, so obviously Ben was offended.

I know there have been a lot of racial tensions over the years with aboriginal people.

Casino would be pretty stupid to turn away young multi-millionaires. I bet he forgot his ID.

Edit: Yep, just looked at the details and not only did they not have ID's they were off of the dress code. Even with that, they were eventually let in.

Sounds like Ben is using the race card rather quickly.

Never seen a casino that wouldn't take the money from someone of any race.

Joe Mann and the rest of you punks, if you don’t like Ben that’s fine but don’t bring your critical shite here. I enjoyed watching him play and still do. Jealous, jealous, jealous.

How about don’t bring your shite here?

You call out a poster and throw everyone else in with it, tell them not to bring critical shite here.... all based on your own feelings.

Do I need to explain further, or do you see the hypocrisy now?
