Tyson Fury and Racism

[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.

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.
