If she truly didn't know that this was offensive and racist and, when it was explained to her, she was genuinely remorseful and didn't ever do it again, then she's excused.

A genuine mistake is absolutely fine and forgivable - happening to be stupid and knowingly abusing a person in a racial manner is, of course, not.

---

So if someone is brought up thinking that abusing people based on their race is OK, then that's fine. They are allowed to do it. We've decided that personal responsibility for one's actions is no longer required.

Again I must have missed the memo.

---

No, I'm saying that people should be forgiven for making a genuine mistake where no malice was intended.

Sorry, I should have said that that's what I meant.

Oh, wait :dabs:

i don't think it's racism, even with all the racism :smilie4:

racism is prejudice against someone because of their race. using racial slurs against an individual because you hate them is just being a cunt

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.

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.

Baz, no one else has said it but thank you for burning your TV and giving me the best laugh I've had all day.

Racism is racism, no matter what the intentions or intelligence behind it is. Its like someone calling me a greasy Greek and then saying "I wasnt being racist, some of my friends are Greek".

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.

@ 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?
