    Default Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?

    All you hear now in the news, this idiot made a racial slur yet the accuser won't say anything in public - all the time in football!

    Now this Tiger woods thing will drag on until the next 'incident' , fuck what he said wasn't even racist.

    Would have thought by now racism would have gone the way of aids, old news and annoying to keep hearing about.

    yep bored to death of it

    you can call people white, ginger, little, greasy, fat, skinny etc...etc.... but not black

    in my office when people are describing someone who you may need to contact or find in in open plan office, some are afraid to say 'black guy' or 'black woman'. Pathetic

    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 ?
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    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'.

    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.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Blame who? You?
    Are you stupid??

    Of course it's always been offensive. No one has ever liked being called coloured or half cast and if they did it's because they were stupid.

    not true. It's evolved. Black, no coloured, no black, no african-this/that and the other.

    You can't expect everyone you encounter to know your preferred preference.

    well I just spoke to a London colleague who is early 50s from Jamaica and lived last 35 years south london. In her book it was acceptable to use till mid 90s and was the norm term - she doesn't even really find it offensive now but knows many of her family now do. See what I mean different interperations.

    She's not stupid so I'm obviously stupid then - think we best lock this thread to be honest.

    I honestly didnt know the term coloured was offensive until a few years back when Jazmerkin picked me up on it in a conversation. Where is he anyway?

    He is needed here right in this post. Militant Souf London Guy

    wtf can we say Help..

    I don't see what the problem is calling Manny Pacquiao a philip but I know that i shouldn't and so i won't but too many people just refuse to oblige and it causes a clash.

    I no Spanish, I Espanol! >
    (just to plant a seed)

    In all fairness though Mark, I think i would of either laughed or lost my rag a bit with this bird bangin on about Urban Music. Okay, Black Music is a touch strong because its not exclusively Black Music and of course 'Urban' could be seen as a soft substitute for 'black' but I don't personally see it that way. Music gets categorised and re defined all the time, no matter how radical music may get, it will always be subject to a conservative need to have to lable everything.

    It would suck though if what you made was Funk but someone tried to tell you it was Disco, ay?

    What was his caddy supposed to have said?

    I read some stuff in the news and had assumed they had edited the bad stuff out, but it seems that there simply was no bad stuff?

    All I read was him saying it was his happiest caddy momment

    I'm against racism completley, but for something to be racist it needs to be offensive, not factual. ie- if a person is black, then they are black. Nothing offensive in that.

    All of my black/ Indian/ Muslim friends are actually the first ones to crack the racist jokes out about themselves.

    But yes, I am getting very bored of the Ba, Ba, Ba Sheep culture. (that's what my daughter had to sing in nursery because Black Sheep implies black people are odd, I kid you not)

    btw AIDS is on the increase so that's not such a good example

    it's like when you have a black / white guy boxing. They don't say x is the black guy, nope, we get a lovely description on there shorts and boots now I know there is nothing wrong with telling them apart by there shorts BUT there is one other blindingly obvious difference between them.

    "Black asshole" fat, skinny, ugly, white would have been perfectly acceptable adjectives had he been any of them, but black, even though he is black, is racist.
