Is it racist to call John-James, skippy?
 

Ive noticed alot of ignorance towards him using this term, a word he said earlier in the series he didn't like.

What skippy the kangaroo crab eyes do you mean :joker: :joker: :joker:

It is probably a bit bigoted.

just call him SHIRLEY

j james has no insight at all to his own faults. its always somebody elses fault

not keen on jj2 either

or dave

He looks more like a young Worzel Gummidge .....

No, skip along now. :p

but he was skipping in that horse suit in the HL show wasnt he?

better then wanker or closet boy

Of all the words you could use to describe him, I would have thought 'Skippy' was the most flattering

:thumbs:

plus..are australians a race?

I never call him Skippy,Skippy was cute,however I think Crabby suits him just fine

No they are recycled convicts - we arn't allowed to throw them away these days

Call him Kylie.

Or Rolf.

Mrs Mangle.

Could be considered discrimination.

Only by bed wetting, hand wringing, PC loons.

I wish he would skip off.

I'm Australian and have never found the term derogatory...

if we have to listen to shane warne on our cricket commentary calling us poms whats the problem with calling a aussie skippy?

No Its Fine.


The Cockney Tree started it.

Damn racist Cockney Tree!!! :nono: kidding ;)

LOL... how true.

:joker: It is nothing compared to what is in my head, but my fingers won't type it because I am a lady.:hugesmile:

A kangaroo is an animal it is not a race,the same as a poppadom is a food stuff and not a race either

With all the revolting terms he uses - I don't see how he can object to something so benign!! Better than being a 'whinging pom!' -Pot - kettle!

How do you work that one out - Australian is a nationality, not a race!

That's Crustaceanist. Reported! :mad:



:joker:

I see alot of you guys and the housemates mention the fact he's Australian to insult him.

It happened to Noirin and Caoimhe too with them being Irish and now it's with John, quite pathetic how alot of you act like that for example:

'I hate that Aussie ***** get him out'

It makes it sound like because he's Aussie he should leave.

'I hate that Irish ***** Noirin uggh'

So because she's Irish she's a *****?


And Dave:
'I'm going to teach that Aussie a thing or two about how to be a good boy'

Sounds like he's highlighting the fact he's Australian to put him down.

You make a somewhat valid point, BUT i think you're being a little precious, a bit overly PC. Because what happens if "differences" are forbidden to be talked of...you end up in a scenario like in BB for example, where everyone would be unable to even mention someone is Australian or Irish, in further fear of the PC police!

Careful, I received an infraction point for using that highlighted word on here!! :joker:

And no I'm Australian too & do not find the term "Skippy" in any way shape or form to be offensive...

So racism is ok if both sides are doing it?

So Jade Goodey wasn't being racist?

Who mentioned Australia? Ever heard of the English race?
