whoops, only for Americans!
Happy 4th of July you insufferable Americans.
This is the worst kind of discrimination, the kind against me!
I don't think you'll find many deals for lizards.
free Covfefe too?
I'm sorry sir, you aren't covered. You have a pre-existing condition points to fat belly.
so South Americans count too?
Yes, All Americans!
Mexicans will be taking their Liberty 🗽
(Burgers), better build a wall ;-)
i thought Mehico was in Central America.
Canada, Mexico, Peru,… Included as are All Americans. There's also that other country I forget the name of with America in it's name ;-)
Targeted
Awww, and I was just brushing up on my Yankee.
Bloody newbie posters this is Ozbargains ;-)
Now if I use a VPN will this work?
Thanks for the advice! but I am Australian and I refuse to use fake id.
They should at least do an Australia Day burger, with a proper Aussie milk bar burger with beetroot and tomato sauce.
Personally, I am waiting for Bastille Day. Free French fries! Woo-hoo!
And every order comes with a free Macron, named after the [new] leader of the free world.
Also, on September 16, can we get a taco bowl, and get Mexico to pay for it?
named after the [new] leader of the free world.
Haha very funny.
White privilege much?
Nah includes African/Asian/xAmerians and Native Indians
…racist deal
I didn't know American was a race?
Would be a very diverse one.
Becoming American can be a race, particularly if you are Cuban.
The clock is ticking to join the USA.
But Cuba is in America.
Was waiting for a speedy race comment🏁 Was a bit slow.
Despite what many seem to think race and genetic ethnicity are not synonymous. A race is basically a homogeneous group, like American.
And yes this is arguably in breach of the racial discrimination act as you can't favour one race over another.
I've take a discrimination case to court, based on nationality - an Australian. I won my case with an out of court settlement. Enough for a nice holiday. The business had to agree to retrain its staff & impliment a non-discriminatory policy towards Australians
But Australian is not a race, it's a nationality. It's basically anyone born here or who has citizenship of Australia. I could prove my nationality simply with my passport.
Proving my race or ethnic origin to the satisfaction of a court would be difficult! What can you easily show to prove your race. If you had to prove that tomorrow, how would you? Experts could give their opinion. But other experts may disagree. Courts have been tied up with these issue in Australia.
But you suggest nationality is race?
Under the law race does not cover all people from a country - that's nationality. You seem confused between racial discrimination, discrimination based on nationality, and how the RDA operates.
The RDA covers areas apart from race including national origin, colour, ethnic origin, etc. Those are similar, but separate from race under the Statute, and included in the RDA.
Good luck taking this promotion under race with the RDA. How can you prove your race was discriminated against & Americans are a race. Discrimination on the basis of nationality is a better case. But I doubt it would fly.
But, Lawyers giving opinions in my case pointed to lack of precident, so it was likely to fail. So I fought the case myself with legal & Government assistance. It's a long difficult process, covered by different state & federal acts - with different courts. I chose the state court as my case could be more easily proven.
Racial discrimination occurs under the RDA when someone is treated less fairly than someone else in a similar situation because of their race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin. Wikipedia
Americans are very much not an homogenous group. They are not a race, but many.
American is not even a country, just a land mass of that name, usually referred to by its regions. So Americans are from any country in the American continent.
It's complicated & most don't understand the various RDA in Australia.
Also, some States (eg NSW from memory) allow discrimination based on Nationality. This case would covered under either the Victorian or Federal Acts.
But OzBargainers make unfounded claims of racism in some deals - strangely far more than in this "All Americans" promotion.
@Infidel: You think I'm confused?
You seem to have googled homogenous, not homogeneous, and they aren't synonymous.
The term American means a group of people with the common link aka homogeneous trait being they're from the Americas. "That group isn't a group".
I'm more than aware a distinction is made in the act between genetic/cultural/racial groups and nationality however I wonder if you can guess why I chose not to make that distinction? Perhaps because of the point I'd just made? No of course not that would have been silly to no wouldn't it….
Lastly just because many people don't know the many definitions of a word doesn't mean it doesn't have them and it's not perfectly acceptable to use them.
"As a race, Americans are generally loud".
"Australians are a race of big drinkers".
Just rock up and tell a really exaggerated story at a level that can grate ears at 500m away, then no one can deny you are not American.
Or better yet, just rock up with a gun, then no one can deny you are not American!
I'll wait for Free Burgers on Australia day…..
Good way to osstrcise a customer base that will keep you going.
Sorry loyal customers… You get nothing.
Strange promo.
Damn saw this too late
You're American?
Duo citizenship
Sorry you missed out getting a burger.
Interesting promotion
