For example, Bilbo, in Brooklyn recently, swastikas and KKK were spray-painted in a religious jewish area. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/14/ny...f=antisemitism Given the historical context, nazis killed millions of jews, the kkk strung jews up in the south, it is more hurtful than if the spray-paint was fat bastards.

Re: Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?
I do agree though that the race card is pulled way too frequently. I completely am with you on that one. I also agree that the double standard is ignored way too frequently. Imagine if Carl Froch took the key from Bernard and said he would never lose to a black boy. It would be endless outrage.

Woah now wait a damn minute...I don't like the KKK but I'm fairly certain they were more anti-black than anti-semite, now the Aryan Nation/Neo-Nazi's who mistakenly use the Battle Flag of the Confederacy to support their cause, THEY dislike the Jews.
I'll have you know, the Confederate States would have more than likely had a Jewish President as their 2nd or 3rd President. Judah P. Benjamin was the Treasurer of the C.S.A. and was well respected by all in the South.
The KKK started up POST Civil War (War of Northern Aggression) due to Reconstruction as all of the officers in the CSA's armed forces had the right to vote taken from them, and land owners got screwed too as Plantations were cut up and given away to carpet baggers and former slaves. Now eventually it degenerated into just a pure hate group, but the KKK had started out as people of wealth and class trying to reestablish political control over their land.
That said, all of the organizations I mentioned: KKK, Neo-Nazi's, Aryans, etc....they can all go rot in my opinion

Actually I completely agree with you on this, and with master regarding Stephen Lawrence. I would also see use of the N word as a direct racial attack. But footballers slagging each other off and a caddy slagging of his former employee and friend has no racial subtext imo and to claim so trivialises real racism.
As to the caddy just calling him an asshole if he wasn't racist rather than a black asshole I totally disagree. All insults are preceeded by a personal slur. It's very unnatural to make an insult without it. Try it. Do you call someone a bastard, or fat bastard, ugly bastard, ginger bastard, whiny bastard etc? There is always a descriptive that prefaces the swear word, always. It's always the thing that stands out to most define that person as well. For Tiger its being black.

Thats pretty interesting considering its not a hate crime if the victim is not a minority. The simple fact that we have "hate-crimes" is laughable. Somehow an assault is a worse crime if there is a racial bias...what a joke.

Half cast might have negative connotations because of history, but you would do just as well to have another word, perhaps 'halfcolour' or the more politically correct 'people of half colour'. Well, that just sounds stupid, just call them half casts and educate society to become more tolerant of ethnic diversity which in many ways the UK is. Certainly much more so than somewhere like Korea.
To be honest, you kinda Barking up the wrong tree... You have to know the origins of the term 'Half-Cast' to understand why it is offensive... Mongrel isn't even that offensive. Just stupid. We are all 'mongrel' in one way or another.
Fuck whatever Missy and Mark are talkin about, the younger generation have the right idea. Ignorance should never be accepted.
So show me the history of the term 'half cast'. It is a term with exactly the same meaning as 'mixed race'. Maybe 100 years later 'mixed race' will be called out as being wrong. Mongrel is crude and revolting as it suggests dog like characteristics. It suggests less than human which 'half cast' never does. In that way half cast is more endearing and in all honesty is not particularly offensive anyway.
The Poet John Agard in talking about his poem Half-Caste
"This imposition of half, half, half on a person's total human complexity implies that some sort of 'purity' has been subverted. A child of mixed race is a tangible, loving expression of human beings from different cultural backgrounds getting together - that should be seen not as something threatening, but as something enriching..."
John Agard
Caste comes from the latin castus meaning pure. Prefixing pure with half automatically gives it a negative as though the person being described is less than pure. The history of the term is very different depending on which country in which it is used and is coined by the imperial conquering culture. In our case as Brits, the Empire. After the subjugation of commonwealth countries it started as a term to describe anyone of mixed race, not necessarily black and white . Your belief that it is "endearing" is perhaps ill-judged as for many it will carry connotations of condescension.

It is precisely because you think Tiger Woods (womanising Hypocrite that he is) being black, is his most defining characteristic and that you then throw black into the same territory as fat, ugly and ginger that you fail to see the inherent racism in calling someone a black asshole. White fat bastard, White ugly bastard, both racist,Ginger Bastard not racist but more offensive than bastard.

Yes you are again displaying prejudice against the English by inserting English in-between whiny and the four letter c word. The construction of your sentence implies that the English are whiny and the plural version of the four letter c word. It is not a descriptor, a descriptor is a term used in Libraries,Website design in fact anywhere a database needs a way to index information for easy future retrieval. It was coined by Calvin Northrup Mooers the American computer scientist in 1948.

How many other elite level golfers are black? Being black IS Tiger Woods most defining characteristic in relation to other golfers. If he was a basketball player or boxer it wouldn't be, but his colour is what stands out in the golfing world and in my opinion its a weird reverse positive racism that people like you try to adopt, pretending everyone is the same colour.

Re: Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?
If you can cite examples of white people calling other white people "white arsehole" then i'll agree.
However, I don't believe Steve Williams would have called his current employer a "white arsehole" (had they fallen out), he'd have just said "arsehole," so the "black" bit seems pretty unnecessary to me unless there's some other meaning... Apart from him stating a FACT, of course, because the whole world needed telling Tiger Woods is black (well asian/black (is that racist?).. shit

Well watch any film and you will know that black always precedes ass when talking a black person's bottom. "My black ass", "Your black ass", "His black ass" etc. It's just a common phrasing that black people themselves use all the time.
I guess a white equivilant would be "white trash". How often do you hear the term "black trash"? Black ass, and white trash are just common sayings well known to all.
If Tiger had called his caddy white trash would their be a big hullaballo? I'm guessing not.
Incidently if you think the caddy was being racist, what was his intention? How was he planning to subjugate his multi millionare former employer? See, racism is the act of discriminating against somebody on the basis of their colour, either through deprivation of rights, property, dignity, threats to their safety, enslavement, persecution etc. How does calling Tiger Woods a black asshole put Tiger at risk of such things?
It can't be racism. It's just name calling.

Re: Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?
I never said he was racist.
He brought race into it by saying "black," so was called on the meaning of it. Like you said he was probably just making a factual statement in case people didn't realise Tiger was black.
I have no doubt in future he will call Adam Scott (his current employer) "white - asshole, trash, cunt"

I didn't mention wearing glasses, although i often do wear them, and must be in your opinion, Ugly then.Ginger, fat and ugly are not compliments and it is not the mentioning of someone being black or white that is a negative. It is using Black as a prefix to words like asshole, and bastard. If you can't see what's offensive about saying something that people are offended by, then perhaps you are looking for an excuse to continue in your prejudice. To merely mention that the Golfer Tiger Woods is Black, is not racist, and does not assume a racial slur from the person describing him as such. It is not just semantics, you are revealing your own subconscious prejudice by having to mention that someone is black before slagging them off with a negative description. I used to have a work colleague who used to say "I'm not racist, some of my best friends are black" and then he would crack a racist joke. By having to differentiate between his black and other friends he was revealing his own prejudice, confirmed by his stupid jokes. Sorry if i seem racist or judgemental.
