Thread: Tyson Fury and Racism

Can I make a plea that we do not allow racist jokes and comments be allowed to continue every time we get a Tyson Fury thread. It is offensive and we should not allow it to continue without challenge please.

He should uppercut himself more often.

Now that is funny stealing from washing lines is not.

Agreed. Tis a wee bit distasteful.

So Mods and posters you going to listen?

Dude, the washing line joke is a post against things that do occasionally happen. People need to lighten up about stuff, I would hardly describe it as racist. I'm ginger, and jokes about gingers really aren't offensive because I learned to lighten up. - It's a joke, thus not meant to be taken seriously!

That was one example there were countless others which are stereotyping a group unfairly.

Can you provide a link or some examples?

Do not know how to do links but most Tyson Fury threads and the Tyson Fury match up looks promising page 3 with reference to Pikey, not paying taxes, etc. Also the one about his dad being sent down from what I recall. I read them at work at did not like what I read but never commented on the threads.

I was the one who mentioned about his dad being sent down. Did you not read what that guy did?

Honestly man, I don't get how people get so sensitive about a joke. That is what it is meant to be - a joke. Really, nobody is sat here honestly believing that if Fury doesn't end up to be a world champion, the man is going to start stealing from washing lines. Like I say, I revealed on here I was ginger, and Booze called me firecrotch, and I took it to be the joke it was.

Actually Otley was worse so I am not singling you out. I just thought anyone that saw that on the main boards would not be happy especially if you were of that origin.

Yeah I saw what he said. He seems to have real disdain for 'em. I was just joking with it. But I thought I was being singled out, since most of what you commented on was based on what I'd said in that one post. Still, I have nothing against Gypsys.

If you see something that you think is racist or overly offensive, I suggest you either report the post or send me (or another mod) a PM about it with a link. We'll look into all complaints.
