lol it is pretty funny HOWEVER  the zigzag motif was used on aboriginal war shields.  There is an aboriginal artist in NSW who paints them on surfboards as well.
Lots of people name their swords......

It is indeed. I received an email at home this morning with details about what the boomerangs mean & represent eith a bit about the artist. 

But I suppose with the cartoon it comes down to what an individual thinks whether it is racist or not. A bit like a something I read I yesterday about Daw from N0rt  ;)

2013 Dreamtime guernsey revealed
By richmondfc.com.au
Exclusive to richmondfc.com.au 4:00pm AEST Sunday, May 13, 2012

Richmond has revealed its 2013 Dreamtime guernsey for the blockbuster clash with Essendon in Round 9.

Nathan Patterson, an Indigenous artist from Torquay, Victoria, was selected as the winner of the Club’s guernsey competition.

Patterson drew on inspiration of local Indigenous culture, representing the Kulin Nation (Indigenous communities of the Melbourne area), the Wathaurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Boon Wurrung, Taungerong and Woi Wurrung clans in his design, as well as the Yarra River.
