It's just one of those words that whites used to insult blacks back in those days, therefore the word just seems to have a "negative" meaning with it. The word might not be as strong as the word n*****, but it falls along those same offensive lines.

When people see photos of how restrooms, water fountains, etc.. were seperated into "whites" & "coloured", and the coloured one looked like a piece of sh*t, people associate that negative image with the word "coloured".

and not long ago somewhere in America some parents refused to let their white children swim in a pool again because "colored " children swam in that pool whilst on a school trip :(

i heard about this as well, didnt think this stuff still happened

also i know not everyone is racist and that, but i do wish some people would stop denying that exists, you can say for yourself that you're not racist but dont answer for the whole country. this video about makosi made by these ***** shows that racism is still rife http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCxJOLNDtbk

:( sniff aniff :( like i've said many times before. People that haven't experienced racism or prejudice before can't possibly understand how some people can spot signs of racism or prejudice. there are a lot of people like these 3 in the North especially. :(

That was uploaded over 3 years ago and it's still there.

Norn Iron prod Rangers fans. Say no more.

Yeah I see your point however I wasnt just referring to Black as in Afro-American or African, there are a variety of other racial types (that could be described as non white which I personally find a very derogatory term) whose hair could fit someones description of pubic hair.

That still happens even now and not only in the US. Racism is rife all over the world, it will be for the foreseeable future unfortunately

Disgusting! :laugh:

dunno who or what that is

Norn Iron prod = Northern Ireland protestant Glasgow Rangers fans with their blue NTL shirts, singing Orlaith (catholic) peels potatoes with her feet.

oh right ta

she doesn't like black people put her in a room with a black guy she doesn tknow all by herself n she will freak out idk whos worst her or nikki

**** off Ulrika.

And not all black people have the same type hair, and weaves come in different materials, the human hair ones, are as you would expect them to, feel just like natural human hair.

I think it was close to the edge...good job makosi did not make a fuss

It doesn't suppose that all people have curly pubic hair at all, regardless if it looks like everybody's pubes, it still looks like a pube.

I disagree. The implication is that it looks like a pubic hair (all of which Ulrika supposes are curly) because it was curly.

If it was a straight hair she would not suppose it looks like a pubic hair. Its the curl that she identifies as 'what pubic hair does'.
It is ethnocentric because (to Ulrika's mind) people have straight hair except for pubic hair.

Its offensive to Asian and Native Americans and those of us who do not have curly public hair!
What's next from her? Telling people Chinese women have 'sideways vaginas'??

I think Ulrika got confused. What she probably meant to say was that Makosi herself is like a pube. You know, you think you've got rid of them, then you get in the shower and there they are! And let's face it, Makosi IS always in the shower!

As for the pub thing, apparently if you go drinking in Makosi the decor is nice but it's a bit noisy, the conversation tends to be limited and the drinks themselves have a slight flavour of seafood...
