The hypocrisy of this board

[raleights]

Not really sure what bilbo is going on about but I just wanna throw this out there...

You yanks is the equivalent to saying you niggers in the context that it's being used in

Actually the term '**BEEP**' was a derogatory term bestowed upon what were perceived to be a lower subspecies.

It was a highly offensive word inflated due to the barbaric and inhumane suffering and degradation the black race had to endure at the hands of white men.

If you think that me calling an American a yank is to inflict anything remotely approaching the offense caused by calling a black person a '**BEEP**' then I think I can think of more appropriate words to describe you, idiot, moron, bufoon, fool etc. :P

Of course it's not on the same level but derogatory nonetheless - and is said with much bitterness

Don't be angry at my dental insurance!
