Default 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

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.

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.
