I mean seriously, how many people here were going around referring to aboriginals as immigrants before this came up? If you had never done so before I don't think it's too difficult to figure out why there were people who took exception with it. The Governer-General isn't an idiot and realized how it could be taken as offensive, so he apologized.
It almost seems possible that maybe some people are simply taking exception with aboriginals being offended period than what they are being offended by. I can't think of very many scenarios where people try to rationalize why someone shouldn't be offended by something that the offending party has already voluntarily apologized for.

No no no, whining about what people say is political correctness run amok and a sign of the downfall of our society. Whining about what people say about what other people say is just common sense and not at all like whining about what people say because of political correctness. See the difference?
