Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?

Using the word 'Black' in a swear word is racist, why not simply call them cunt, ass hole, why have to put the colour of their skin into it. People get discriminated, excluded and even killed because of the colour of their skin so although Tiger Woods or even Ferdinand may not really worry about being called the names, the people that use them do need to be told that they are wrong.

so its the combination of skin colour and swear word that makes it racist. 'that black has-been golfer' would have been acceptable then ?

maybe you right

but if he is black how does it make it worse than fat bastard, ginger bastard. It's a descriptive word.

The person is after all 'black' so it shouldn't be deemed racist. It is a colour and the person is that colour. It shouldn't be a problem.

It seems that black people such as Floyd and Hopkins can be racist all the time and yet anytime a white person says something, then hell freezes over.

It's a case of total double standards.

Either you have standards for all or you have none. I think racism should only be a problem if there is serious malicious intent there. For instance, you shouldn't attack comedians for racist jokes.

Someone having a go because you describe music as 'urban'? That black woman should have been told to fuck off, though clearly better to leave out any description of her obvious and actual colour.

lets say he wanted to make sure people know he was talking about Tiger Woods.

without using 'black' or saying his actual name , what else could he have said ??

I think it also depends on context. Lets say a Korean person said, "That piece of white English shit should get the fuck out of Korea and go back to England." Now would that be racial? Or would he just be describing you as a White English man that he thinks is a piece of shit and shouldn't be in his country?

They are wrong too. Its just fat and ginger are not a race.

That caddy has said 'black arsehole'..
I mean "cheating arsehole" we could of all accepted but he has drawn in all black people under the guise that he thinks black and arse hole belong together and that is racist.

ginger are not a race.

I completely disagree.

How many ginger africans or pakistanis do you see?
It's not a nationality and we could argue about the technicalities of race and get no qhwew - but it's as inherant as the colour of your skin and tied to ethnicity.

Would calling somebody a 'blue eyed devil' be racist? Blue eyes aren't a race.

If it's one thing I've learned it's you can't talk to Brits about "race" they're all over the fucking place. If I call an Irish person a 'Mick' or a 'Potato Eater' or whatever I'd be called "racist" but Irish isn't a fucking race it's a God damned country. I've got nothing against Ireland i just used it as an example.

You limey bastards are insane...and some might say "that's racist" but I'd point out that Naseem Hamed, Ricky Hatton, Frank Bruno et al are NOT of the same race, they just happen to live in the same country.

[AdamGB]

You do know that Irish people aren't British right?

For all intents and purposes you might as well have just said:

"I can't talk to the French about race, they're all over the place... it's like if I call an Italian a greasy whop I'd be called racist... but Italian isn't a race'.

No wonder talking to Brits about race confuses you...

But who even said 'Brit' was a race?

There are several catagories of caucasian but I don't recall 'British' being one of them.

#1 It's "greasy WOP" (WOP standing for the term "WithOut Papers"...though Daigo is I think a more Universal term)

#2 Yes, I know how my post came across and yes that's exactly what I meant....I don't give a fuck about the Irish and whether they are considered British or not I used them to make a point. Maybe if I used Welsh instead....are they British?


You know....you bastards are really into labelling people.

I think it's because fat ginger people didn't have to sit at the back of the bus 70 years ago.
