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.Quote:

In that way half cast is more endearing and in all honesty is not particularly offensive anyway.Quote:

"This imposition of half, half, half on a person's total human complexity implies that some sort of 'purity' has been subverted.

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.Quote:

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.
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.Quote:

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.

Tiger Woods most defining characteristic in relation to other golfers is that he's one of the greatest ever players.
Child prodigy, unbeliveable amateur, 14 majors, over 100 tournament wins, successfully represented America am/pro.
It's not being black that makes him stand out. It's being an utter golfing genius. (well, was).
The caddy is Australian....he obviously doesn't know better, they still think blackface is a laugh riot :vd:
Australian history is as bad on racism as England and US.Quote:
