This is a question Sacked II

I once had a "friend" (I hated his guts) who lost two jobs on the same day - he drunkenly crashed the taxi he was driving when he was supposed to be at his office job. How have you been sacked?

Exactly.
If I decided tomorrow that "my culture" was to wear a strap-on dildo on my head it would be as valid as any other "cultural costume".
We ought not to live in some feudal iron-age society where a head-dress is some kind of untouchable "holy icon".
If it's OK to take the piss out of a crap dress sense (it is, I checked) then it is equally as OK to take the piss out of silly head gear.
I'm also still not sure how any of this is "racist"?

It is ok to take the piss out of head dress.
It's not ok to take the piss out of it in a culturally sensitive way when out for a drink with colleagues. Can you not understand that? I'm definitely right on this. The evidence is the bit in the story where the person got sacked. It's basically not ok to say anything that could possibly be construed as offensive to anyone anywhere in front of your colleagues, because it's racist. Anyone who can't grasp that fact is a fucking idiot and deserves to be sacked. Racist here meaning saying anything that could possibly be construed as offensive to anyone anywhere.

Not really.
Racism is about race - which is something you can't choose.

Culture and religion you can choose.

I don't see the problem with taking the piss out of people's culture. Crusties having dogs on string, for example, or chavs being chavvish.

yerr ... you could always just Google and learn what the rest of the world and the law understands by racism
or ... you know ... just make shit up

Argumentum ad populum, eh?
Most of the rest of the world are fucking idiots (particularly the legislators).

I love it when thick people use Latin terms they don't understand.
An appeal to the masses clearly isn't fallacious when it is supporting a social convention or legislation based upon democracy.

Disagreeing with a law doesn't exempt you from it.

The key word is 'race'.
Culture isn't race. Religion isn't race either.

Are you brain dead or just a troll?
Racism is not "offending somnebody about something" it has a very specific linguistic meaning and its legal meaning is becoming nothing like that due to morons like you.
Again -- there is nothing in somebodies genetic makeup that means they wear a silly headdress.
