Is American Idiot racist?
 
Some of them keep saying American idiot, but is that racist?

Marsh. 13-01-2015 09:04 PM

No. It's xenophobic.

coolface 13-01-2015 09:04 PM

xenophobic not racist

Crimson Dynamo 13-01-2015 09:05 PM

Also accurate

Pincho Paxton 13-01-2015 09:05 PM

Oh never used Xenophobic in a sentence before.

jennyjuniper 13-01-2015 09:09 PM

Depends if it's true. Is he/she American?
Is he/she an idiot?

Jose Mourinho 13-01-2015 09:21 PM

Certainly prejudice.

I think as America is a multi racial country its confusing but definetly xenophobic, if not racist

It pisses me off a bit cause if you were saying it about any other country, BB would probably call you in and give you a warning, when did the USA become the only Country that's fair game?

He is American and he's an idiot. I see no issue here.

WyldeFyre 13-01-2015 09:26 PM

Americans aren't a race they are a nation made up of many races. Simples !!

Firewire 13-01-2015 09:26 PM

of course he is and I get that, but replace that for 'Irish idiot' or 'African idiot'....... BB would be all over that like a rash

Yes but why does he have to mention the fact he is American? It's irrelevant.

Really coudn't imagine him shouting "British idiot" For some reason.. The guys a plank simple as.

rionablue 13-01-2015 09:29 PM

Nope he is amercian and an idiot

daniel-lewis-1985 13-01-2015 10:22 PM

America isn't a race.

Educate yourself.

Don't inflict this racist babble on BB.

NEXT...

Northern Monkey 13-01-2015 11:15 PM

No.

abhorson 13-01-2015 11:33 PM

No more than calling Americans brash. me calling my Scottish wife's brother in law a tight wad or him calling me an English plonker. All in jest and i just don't let it bother me.

Some will call it stereotyping others will go further. meh.

TBH we all mess about like this with our friends.. regardless what nationality or race etc ...Its nothing new and it is common knowledge.. cos we all do it, if we could not get away with it.. then they would not be friends.. But these people are NOT friends..and on this particular occasion, ken was not jesting.. KEN screamed that out in anger.. which suggests to me he has a problem with Perez being American or Americans in general.
