Since its not looking down on anyone. Just fun.

Saying that, if anyone wants me to delete, ask and I will.

# i said
for fuck's sake. i was implying that perhaps andi was being spectacularly naive in not realising the damage that this kind of casual racism does, then claiming it was fine because he didn't actually say it.

# why should you?
lots of people are offended by lots of things here. I'm sure relatives of 11th Sep would be most upset by some of the stuff that was up here blah blah blah. Freedom of posts and all that.

# we're talking about making light of a traumatic world event
you're dealing with everyday discrimination. Having been called a paki myself by skinheads, kids and old men, I can tell you it's never said in jest. There's real hatred behind it. I would defend your right to post what you like, but I don't like you very much.

# Thorpe, I mean absolutely no offense...
The picture WAS in jest and was made in a way that attempts to show no offense to anyone. If you're seriously offended, I apolagise, but please understand that it singled no-one out as being bad individuals and was meant entirely as fun, just like all the other pics on the board.

# Racism
I have a Freind of mine who "Fucking hates Niggers" (sorry its a quote) but he's not racist, why? Cos he's black.
When are we going to realise racism is not in the use of a word its in your perception of others. Make you race my race join the human race, and just hate everyone.

# how
is that not racist?
(I helped save b3ta! stouffer, Tue 18 Feb 2003, 17:33, archived)
# Cos they are the same Race!
Doh
That makes it not a race issue.

# hmm
the point is that words have connotations - that's what words do - they mean things.

My argument is that it may seem like a lot of fun to casually use the word "paki", but to many its use is associated with hate and intimidation.

as fun.

# here is the point ---->.
you have missed it. as a (presumably) white person in a predominantly white society it's remarkably easy to not appreciate what it's like not being white. you, and for that matter i, have no idea what it's like having a bunch of cunts shouting 'paki' at us, but i think you can appreciate that it must be fucking horrible. a little consideration is what's needed.

# live life and learn
I have a rule when someone repeats themselves with no reasoned arguement the thread has ended. I will however help you with this one.

Creed is not the only socio-economic minority group out there. I'm a Dyslexic who happens to be 6 foot 7 inches tall this puts me in two minority groups that suffer from stereotyping (P.S I can JUMP). I've had a bunch of cunts shout at me for these things, through school, and you should see the grief at nightclubs when every pissed idiot thinks taking down the big guy is a good idea.
If they don't want to know you for who you are and don't listen to what your saying to them all you have to do is place them into that other well known social stereotype "Thick Idiots"
