Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet?

[Kev]

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.

Fuck me you are all still going on about this thread? going to have to make another post "Is anyone else bored of the "Anyone else bored of 'racism' yet? thread yet?"

You all need to get out more.

But thanks for coming.

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"

A bunch of white people bitching about being hard done by because of racism?

Oh the fucking irony.

Only this, as Roberto Mancini would say.
