I'm not saying that you are racist.

But yes, just randomly associating ghetto with blk is racist.

I don't see how you cant see that.

Actually Ghetto is black terminology, that started in USA in the Ghettos with Blacks, Afro americans and European Americans.


So it's not racist.

(My friend, who is black, has just agreed with me, and told me to post this)


:thumbs:
Maybe that's how it is in Europe, but that doesn't fly in the Western World.
Oh dear lord...

Also, I am guessing that name generator generated ... well ... black ghetto names. That was the idea of it. If a name generator made up names like Walter, Harry, Phillip & Richard would I complain that it was racist against whites? No, their just some typical stereotype white names.

Nobody was being a fucking racist. Okay, that video was daft, but it was daft beyond the point of being offensive. It was that stupid.
Am I saying that anyone is being racist or is it that you have a hard time comprehending?

I'm saying, the "word" ghetto to refer to blacks in any shape or form is a racist statement. Especially by none blacks.

Not that hard to understand, eh?

That term is just racist.

Maybe its not in the UK, but in the US it is.

Well thats where US and UK differ.

I'd say there is generally a lot more racism towards blacks over there than there is here.

I'd say the biggest racism we get over here is towards polish and Muslim.

Well I'll just leave it as that, you can't tell me that I'm wrong.

When in my culture its a racist comment.

Nobody was using the word ghetto to refer to blacks. The term in question was ''black ghetto'' as it was a ''ghetto name generator'' that did, in fact, generate stereotypical faux black names. So yes, I guess I am having a hard time comprehending. Because it was a name generator. One that generated ghetto names. That were of black cultural origin. So yes, it was a black ghetto name generator. Nobody was actualy saying all ghettos are black and nobody was actualy directly drawing the link between the two.

Please, don't sterotype Americans. Someone from your culture thinks your wrong. I'm a 13 year old American girl - and yes, I'm black. I just don't see why you're making such a big deal. If I was describing the quiz, I could have made the same mistake. Not because black automatically goes with ghetto, but because that's what those kinds of quizzes are called all over the internet. Maybe this particular quiz doesn't have that title, but like 100 other similar quizzes do, and once you hear a phrase over and over again, it gets stuck in your head. That doesn't show anything about her character - she doesn't sound racist to me.
