I don't know, I think people are just extra careful about race, like they don't want to seem like a bigot or racist.

It is yet another term that is not actually offensive but some PC types made 'deemed' it offensive because they (in their minds) receive power and more authority the more 'offense' they can find.
In reality, you could have found the 10,000 times this term was used and none of them in any derogatory, marginalizing, negative or insulting way AT ALL. I'm not saying its an awesome term and everyone loves it but it is not now and never was offensive in itself or in common use. Basic answer - the hysterical PC correctness gone wild in the UK |

I mean.. there are still people being killed so obviously we aren't PC enough right? He is clever but I did get the bigger laugh at him 'outsmarting' his own self. The kids call it 'self-pwnage' but its really funnier that he is not even aware of it. |

wrong .... that's you creating a straw man to argue against, problem you have is he didn't say that but you won't let that stop you lol. Now go and create a couple fake accounts to use to agree with yourself like you did last year. :P Did you really do that ElProximo? Create 2 accounts and then log on in all three of them and have a convo where your 2 fake account agreed with your racist rants?. That's taking the need for affirmation to a new extreme buddy. But hey you don't need to do that anymore since arista is around. |

No surprise here but again you don't seem to be good at recognizing what is happening around you. At no time. Never. With no exceptions. Never have I had any more than one screen-name and account here. Now that you remind me of this - weren't you the one last season who got scolded by mods FOR this annoying accusation? The only thing I can come up with is that you are so obsessively entrenched into some ultra-leftist PC correct socially-liberal mentality and microcosm that you simple CANNOT COMPREHEND how there could be THREE people on Earth who actually believe 'conservative type things'!? Thats impossible! Three posters may exist on TiBB that SOMETIMES agree with things that sound like 'right-winger' values!?!? It can ONLY be a single person playing a 'character' with multiple accounts right? * insult removed * - ukturtle Last edited by Benjamin; 14-05-2010 at 06:34 AM. |

It's not stating what they actully are, which is ethnic. It's like calling a black person coloured,it's rude and the wrong term.

Not only do I believe there is nothing wrong with the term half cast, but there is nothing wrong with the term 'blacks' either. It's a very, very casual term for ... well ... blacks and it's only offensive if you are stupid and sheltered enough to take it that way. ******* I can understand, but blacks? Half cast? That's riddiculous. |

I don't find half cast offensive. But I suppose it's all depends how you use it,no-one uses it to be offensive,it's only needed if you're described how someone looks.
