CBB racism row

It isn't just being a cunt.

It's either because you actually believe the slurs and are racist (so you're a racist cunt) or you don't believe in the racial slurs that are coming out of your mouth so you want someone to believe you're racist - in effect, you're pretending to be racist ... which doesn't even bring you up to the level of being a cunt, it's just pathetic.

so what you're saying is... if i call a south asian person a paki. i either mean i believe them to be a paki, or i'm putting on an act?

@ manker.

Fucking right. I now feel the Internet is truly interactive. If we ask, do you think he'll destroy more household objects with our method of choice?

That would be such a quality thread.

In fact, this double destruction of a ghostbusters tea-towel and TV combo deserves a thread of its own.

[Mr JP Fugley]

Are you suggesting that no malice was intended.

In any case, I go with the rights of the victim being more important than the rights of the abuser. That's just me but.

I'm not talking about Jade Goodey in Celebrity Big Brother, I don't know what she said cos I don't watch it. She was an example of a stupid person.

I'm saying that if a stupid person offends someone with a racist comment, that the stupid person didn't know was an offensive racist comment, that they should be forgiven for it if they are truly remorseful and don't ever do it again.

As a general rule of goodness, like.

Sorry, I was being a bit "real World" there (true story), I just don't see your scenario being that likely. I know I got a bit "busy" with that. If it were to be the case then I wholeheartedly agree.

My experience is more of the "Hoi Orange Chaps, do you realise that your marches are deeply offensive to other members of the society in which you live?" "So what, my father and his father before him did it and I like the music. I'm not sectarian btw, some of my best friends are ....".

You could just be taking a wild stab at their country of origin, I suppose

I don't see your point - do you think Paki is an offensive term or something?

Spose it might be to some people - depending on the context. I've always considered it to be short for Pakistani. Like Scotch is for Scottish or whatever.

Same here, but apparently "Paki" is racialist whereas "Brit" isn't

[CrabGirl]

Because Paki is generally a derogatory term used in a derogatory manner since they first came over here smelling of onions and took our jobs, homes and women.

So is gypsy.
cross-thread pwnage ftw.

My made-up scenario was pish at best

I thought as soon as I'd posted it that I should have used a more obscure term - like Hispanics calling each other ese or something.




Edit: I don't even know if that's offensive enough if a white person said it to a Mexican.
