Can we put a ban on Hussain being called a Rat
 
Quote:

When applied to a person, such a comparison is dehumanizing, and in application to marginalized populations, there is a history of such dehumanization being used to justify violence towards members of those groups. In the case of the Jewish community, the Nazis likened Jews to rats and other vermin in order to justify exterminating us. So, it is definitely not something you should say about someone, especially someone Jewish or a member of a marginalized group that has been similarly persecuted and treated as less than human.
For this reason as it is totally unacceptable

Which could be seen as Racist as some rats are brown and scrawny?

So calling someone a woman beater is worse then racism?

James 15-10-2018 10:23 AM

Unsure. I just did a quick search for the word 'rat' on the forum, and a number of housemates have been described as that this series.

Can we just ban it in any use as an insult?

Cameron has been called rat boy on numerous occasions

Actually, I think you'll find Lewis called him a rat in the diary room last week and it kinda stuck for me. but while we're at it, Lewis detractors needs to stop calling him a woman / wifebeater. It's ridiculous, not to mention slanderous.

Cherie 15-10-2018 10:25 AM

can I still call Zoe a snake because she is one :hehe:

Denver 15-10-2018 10:26 AM

Can we not have a thread without Lewis being brought in?

Matthew. 15-10-2018 10:26 AM

i know that if i was to call someone a rat, it would be because i felt they were untrustworthy or sneaky.

But loads of us just use it
as a typical housemate insult
meaning he is a dirty rat.

But that would describe the characteristics of a snake
