Default Canadians keep an eye out for Nigger Lovers

It's a documentary coming out about a stadium here in Tooowoomba Queensland where a section is named E S Nigger Brown Stand.

Sources: 'Nigger Lovers' chosen for Canadian film festival

and: 'Nigger Lovers' doco may screen at foreign film festivals. 11/05/2007. ABC News Online

An aboriginal activist did all he could to have the name removed. Mind you it had been there for decades (since 1960's but they didn't notice it till 1998 ish.

He lost his case mind you.

'Offensive' stand name to stay - theage.com.au

However the stand is getting replaced due to age but the new stand will not be renamed, and perhaps a statue of Nigger Brown might go up too.

Now listen to the radio audio of this.
