Tyson Fury and Racism

[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.

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

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I wouldn't know about that, you'd have to ask Lyle

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Nice story. Well structured. It had a begining, a middle and an end. Well done

A thread about racism....why wasn't I invited?!?!?!

[El Kabong]

Whatever law says that is fucking stupid. Can you be a bigot towards those cultures? Sure. Can you be an anti-semite to the Jews? Yes. But racist? No, they are races ergo you can't be racist to them UNLESS you pick on their RACE and are of a different race yourself....that's how racism works, that's why its called racism instead of Meany-ism or something more general.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Would they be proud if you called them a Pikey?
Or would they fuk you up if you called them that?

Just wondering, I really dont know if they are proud to be Pikey'es.

Depends on your previous relationship with them...
There are a couple in our boxing club, alright guys and I can openly share opinions about travellers and they don't mind.
However If I said anything like that to a traveller I didn't know I'd get messed up. Not that I'd be saying anything offensive or denigrating- they are just extremely concious of their status.

In this country the Jews have been established as a race as have Sikhs because they can trace their roots to a specific location and time. Muslims and Rastafarian's however have not been able to and are not classed as a race.

My point was they see themselves as different.
