for the record. Pikey is not a race. Continue.

Do not know how to do links but most Tyson Fury threads and the Tyson Fury match up looks promising page 3 with reference to Pikey, not paying taxes, etc. Also the one about his dad being sent down from what I recall. I read them at work at did not like what I read but never commented on the threads.

I was the one who mentioned about his dad being sent down. Did you not read what that guy did?

yes but negative comments were made about his type which were not fair.

Honestly man, I don't get how people get so sensitive about a joke. That is what it is meant to be - a joke. Really, nobody is sat here honestly believing that if Fury doesn't end up to be a world champion, the man is going to start stealing from washing lines. Like I say, I revealed on here I was ginger, and Booze called me firecrotch, and I took it to be the joke it was.

HA! I completely forgot the whole "firecrotch" description, we will have to remember that one!

But you are right. People should lighten up. I tell self-deprecating stories about myself or my situations/background; I think it is one of the best uses of an online forum.

I think time could be better spent than to be taking up for some shitty heavyweight with a fabricated name (and no, don't send me the article about how his trainer couldn't believe it was his real name....but it in fact was.)

Im sorry but i have to say WTF, as Missy says, Pikey is not a race , so how can it racist ?

Fury is a white male and a pikey , i am a white male and if i call him a pikey it cannot be racist as i am the same RACE as him?

The race card is played all to easily and i am sick of it.

the end.

It made me smile.

That is until I looked down and realised that there isn't a cure, and I'll never be able to put the fire out.

Master are you of traveller decent?

No but it was on the main board so anybody could have read it and if you were from that community then you would not like it. I have never heard the term Pikey until I watched the film Snatch and it was used in a derogatory way in there.

I do and don't agree with you.

Gypsy's are not actually a race. But they still actively try to set themselves apart and they do see themselves as a breed apart. Their customs, traditions and even morals are vastly different than ours and I an completely comprehend why people can dislike them.

I would also like to add that I have seen travellers play the race card on numerous occasions to tilt odds in their favour. You can't have butter on both sides, you can't complain that you are discriminated one day and then belittle and in some cases intimidate so called settled" people.

gypsies/rom are an ethnic group. Tyson Fury and irish tinkers, pikeys are not.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Ignorance... Nice

Missy, now I suspect your being racist without even knowing it.

If Tynkers are of a specific gene pool, how can they not be considered an Ethnic group?

For example, just because Hindu speaking Indians and Romanian Gypsies practically speak the same language, it doesn't mean they fall into the same ethnic group, does it.
(no I know you didn't know that and yes I am re-educating your apparent ignorance)

Anyway if it isn't, it's still derogatory, it's still social prejudice, it actually stems from Xenophobia and has absolutely no place on the main board.

Pikey is a bad word

[Fenster]

All the pikeys i've ever come across have been fucking murder. So the score is now that - you're a wrong'un for calling pikeys pikey?

deary deary me...

You see Missy, The thing is they see themselves as a different breed.

In Irish history the British Empire forced Irish families and tribes from their land. The famous Cromwell quote was "to hell or to Connaught." Later the British allowed Irish people to take up small plots of land with two options; convert to British rule and the Church of England or pay heavy rates to take up land.
The travellers derive from those that never took up land and refused to pay anything towards the British Empire. Rather than taking up land they lived as nomads and quickly garnered a bad reputation. This has a point, I swear

Today, Irish travellers/pikeys remain very traditional, many still live nomadic lives, they speak in a fashion which is a direct translation of the old irish language and retain old traditions such as "NA DEISE" or faction fighting.

However, my main point is they still only marry other travellers as it is seen as shameful to "breed" with anyone outside of other families they feel have endured and set themselves apart as a different breed.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

by your definition the inbred southerners are just a different race.

gypsies are not one type either. I don't need preaching at regarding the rom cultures.

TF ain't a gypsy.
