Beans beans beans beans beans beans beans beans!
I like beans. They're full of fibre, they give me proper good gas meaning I can play my bumtrumpet for hours after a good bunch of beans on toast with grated cheese on top and some tabasco sauce mixed in to give them a bit of pep. PEP!

What do you like?

Rswipe was trying to deal with a document
and the fact that people kept changing the names they called themselves by throughout the document. No arguement from me, that would piss me right off. However, she (intentionally or otherwise) included the fact that they were Asian, which does make rather racist. I just pointed that out, however Al re-linked it in a rather "mountain out of a flogging dead horse molehill thing" way.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 19 May 2011, 14:32, Reply)

I don't think mentioning that the names are asian is racist it is mearly embellishing the story

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 19 May 2011, 14:34, Reply)

well, no it kind of does, by the definition of racism
however it appears that this debate for some reason is getting taken a shit load more seriously that any other faux-fight rswipe and I have so I'm stepping out of this one. Apologies but I'd rather she didn't flounce.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Thu 19 May 2011, 14:45, Reply)

Honestly though
I don't see the difference between a story that says "a rude FAT man burped in my face on the bus" or "a rude ASIAN man burped in my face on the bus".

It is mearly a physical descriptor, and by making it out to be racist is a reason why people feel unable to talk about race, immigration or any other sensitive area without being called a racist. This breeds frustratsion and can ultimately lead to true racism. (See previous Labour government)
