I have listened to what you have said and apparently I have said nothing wrong.
You only said it to antagonise people though. This is why Mark got involved, because you are trying to wind folk up for your own personal enjoyment, rather than just trying to have a debate.

"enjoyment" There we go again. I find nothing remotely fun about racism. If **** is not a racist word then why would it antagonize people?

We're not saying you enjoy racism, we're saying you're enjoying winding folk up. Anyway I'm not having this argument anymore - mainly because everytime I make a valid point you just ignore it!

I don't personally find the term **** racist, despite the fact that it has been hijacked by racists using it in a discriminating wake like "****'s go home" "no ****'s wanted" ect, its the go home and not wanted that are deemed racist, as it would be if the term **** was substituted for white.

White is not a racist word nor Brit, Yank, Rasta, or Nazi for that matter so why should **** suddenly become so unpopular, what if racists were to hijack the term chocolate to describe blacks, will we all suddenly feel the need to become embarrassed by asking for brown candy bars?

There really is some OTT reactions to race Jade mimicking an asian accent and the girl removed for merely saying the word "******" in a conversation with a black person presant... don't you think it was up to her to complain at least?
Personally I don't think Jade was racist, no more than the charectors of at home with the Kumars were in thier scetches mimicking english accents, getting drunk then going out for an english, a scetch that had me in stiches with laughter and those of my friends white, black and asian.

I wish racist attitudes and remarks were left for when they truly are insulting and discriminating and not dragged up trivially like Darnell's comment in this current series, and the accusation of the sooty nazi.

These and the ones above make the subject of racism far to triviual and touchy and only helps the white view of"only we can be racist it don't apply to anyone else" and the black expressed by thug Naomi Campbell "that its because I'm black" attitudes of real subconscious racism and yet they go hardly noticed by anyone.


PS, I just noticed the term PAK1 is editted dear lord perhaps one day chocolate will be too, the world truly has gone mad.

"I find your tone patronising,"

Not a lot I can do about that. You take me as you find me.

"your avatar offensive," I have explained that it was from a site taking the piss out off Nazis. But if you truly find it offensive (and not because you are a Nazi) then I will remove it.

"and your opinions offensive."

If you find my anti racism view point offensive then you are the one with the problem.

I think it depends on what contexts its said in,
however is can be very offensive to people, and i think it isa really vile word when used personally towards someone

People call British people 'brits'
So why cant people call Pakistani's '*****'

Saying it doesnt make someone racist imo.



I dont use the term because is it is deemed offesnsive but I think that it is a great point. It is actually only shortening the word Pakistanis as we do with British people by saying Brits (which is the same thing but acceptable!!)
I remember a boy at junior school who told the teacher he was more offended being called an Asian because its quite ignorant ie Asian is so broad a term

The most racist bit about that word is that someone calls anyone asian the word. They dont check if they are from pakistan... its a racial word against asians rather than a slang word for pakistani's. The amount of indians that get called it is ridiculous.

Therefore it is a racial attack. People dont call the british americans... just because we look the same, so stop classing anyone asian as that name.

lol this is so retarded

The NF used it as a term to label everybody of asian or middle eastern origin. The people that get called this are rarely EVER from Pakistan.

And the fact you dont find it offensive doesnt mean others dont. Seriously what the hell is wrong with people?

The Nazii sootty bear I find funny, I think it takes the p out of the facist party at the time, rather like daffy duck in a roman toga, they were the large facist movement of thier time.
