"Awkward. I'm not one of those tiresome chaps who feels every slur must be met with fists, but neither did I want to let this sorry little fuck get one over on me. "
I rather fear you're contradicting yourself here.

Seriously, it's almost an 'I'm not racist but...'

Badger
Surely it would only be a contradiction if he smacked him in the face? Normally your mantra is don't take the web too seriously, now you seem to be suggesting we should be taking this post more seriously and out him as a dirty racist....Come on admit it, you're just baiting right?

Seriously, in one Internet Breath he's saying 'I'm not a petty-minded insecure prick', and acts like a petty-minded prick.

Meh. Can't please all of the people all of the time. If you think I was massively insecure, then i was. If you think it was funny, then it was that too. Personally, I just wanted to share a funny story. I've had the added bonus of watching a couple of keyboard warriors read all sorts of absent racism into it, so...win-win I think.

Isn't 'sorry little fuck'
a colloquial term for Frenchman round your way?

*gasps*
Try replacing 'fuck' with 'black' or 'pakistani' man or WOMAN... are you cringing yet?

Here's the thing that gets me about the whole "try replacing it with BLACK or JEW and see what you think, hm? HM?" self righteousness: isn't it easier and far less reactionary to have the balls to admit "I didn't find it funny"? Y'know, rather than trying to say anyone not sharing your sense of humour must be a racist?

Just a thought. :)

I must admit
I was going to try to replace it with 'black' or 'Pakistani'. But to even contemplate replacing it with 'woman'...what sort of a sick monster are you??

P.S I did wonder just how many people could cobble together the phrase "I speak Punjabi" or "I speak Sindhi" in those languages if the protagonists had been Pakistani.

i must admit i would be buggered if i tried!
Punjabi and Sindhi are languages i have very little experience of, but having said that France is only an hour by ferry from my country of residence and i guess the proximity has made cultural familiarity a holiday shoe-in.
or something like that?

What sort of ferry?
Earl Granville, or Condor 9? Can you see Flamanville on a good day? If I said freedom for L'Ecrehous would you know what I meant?
