Fenster and Andre see it. It is clearly racist why can't the rest of you see it. If a Korean had said the things to Miles about his skin colour and race, then that would be racist too. If a black person, (by that I mean African Caribbean in this country) uses the term nigger to his black friend, he is not being racist and demeaning to himself. Power + Prejudice = Racism.

maybe the difference is if someone called me something to do with my colour and race i couldnt give a shiny shite. who the fuck cares.
so please tell me if black people cant be called black , then what do we call them ?
and let me say im not being funny , i really dont know how to call them.

we've had this discussion here before, if that word is wiped out then is calling lyle, redneck, cracker etc. All equally offensive terms.
Re: Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?
I've actually run into a few that would tell you to fuck right off if you didn't refer to them as black when being descriptive, rather than some trumped up PC "African American" etc etc. There are times when race is specified as it happens alot in the south and it always kills me when a white person is having a "normal" conversation and all of the sudden drops into a low whisper " The black percentage of students"....:smilie_whisper: :boxedin: :o and then kick back up to normal tone. Kills me everytime. Shit, thats a case of not what you say but how you say...what the hell are you ashamed of and why are you whispering. Racist slag. I've heard people step right up, "fook that, I'm black, period". Honestly I can't have anything but respect for that. Keep it real. People today are just too damn sensitive but its the new touchy feely society we live in. Pc runneth over. Now being called an asshole in a public forum, thats just messed up. But in his case it was used as a double negative..black asshole?! Assholes an asshole, don't matter what color it is :-X

Exactly, if someone called me a 'motherfucking white cunt', the white part would be the least of my worries. It is the other words that have more of an impact. Though after years on here, it would probably all just wash over me.
It's racist, but only a shallow skinned girl gets upset over it.

How about "Sir" or Ma'am".
But while we are on the topic, how is person born in country, raised in a country, any other than from that country?
If you are born in Canada, you are Canadian. If your great, great, great grandparents were born in Sweden, it does not make you a Swiss-Canadian.
As far as it goes, we all were born on the planet Earth, there for, we are all Earthlings.

Although most of us haven't had to grow up suffering from race hate and being picked on because of the colour of our skin. So I can understand why it is a sensitive subject.
I think what he said was racist, but I don't think he is a racist, if that makes sense.

some poor woman got berated for using the term 'half cast' . Apparently thats not PC any more. Oh yes and I got bollocked for callinga type of music urban by a black female colleague who was into that scene. Like wtf ?!?!?
is tiger woods offended ? or just every other fucker ?
There are racist insults... which are no different to any other insults... And then there is genuine ignorance, which can actually more hurtfull. Especially when it is unwavering.
The term 'half cast' IS actually offensive Mark. Just the same as 'coloured'.
yes but it wasn't at one point then it was. when people hear it from older generations and use it don't blame them
Re: Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?
Race is socially constructed and we are all the same. Societies define and classify people in racial categories depending on their history and how they have handled immigration coming into their country. Therefore words and meaning change over 100 years ago Irish faced racism, then Jewish, then Caribbean, Indian etc So i would not get too upset about terminology changing.
