the girl said 'oh ****** off you piece of s**t snowflake' she also called her 'white trash' hardly the same as walking up to a black person and saying sunglasses
Less of the "lol! that's ludicrous" please...
You said she said "SNOWFLAKE" only.
Sunglasses [a black item.] and snowflake [a white item.] are the equivalent of eachother.

You can't just conveniantly insert several swear words and the term "white trash" afterwards and pass off what I said as invalid.

no entirely different,where i come from snowflake is a racist term.I thought you might have twigged that but obviously not.Sunglasses however is not a racist term,or at least not where I come from and not in birmingham either.


Im from co.durham btw,in the north eastwhere are you from?and im glad you see my point

Snowflake may be a racist term, but it's still a reference to a white object. Do you understand? SNOWFLAKES ARE WHITE that's why black people might call white people it.

Which is the equivalent of me calling a black person sunglasses because THEY ARE BLACK.

It's more than obvious that sunglasses isn't an established racist term.
I really don't know why I bother talking to some of you, it's like communicating with a group of primary school kids.
Yeah, but it doesn't ignore the fact that snowflake is a racist term.

You...are...missing....the...point.

I said that snowflake and sunglasses are the equivalent of eachother. One is black and one is white, correct? CORRECT? yes correct.

That's the only observation I made.
I never said "sunglasses is a racist term used by people all over the country" as I THOUGHT you might be intelligent enough to realise I and everyone else already knows that, and that id never imply otherwise.

I refuse to talk to you anymore, as you're turning this into some form of argument for no reason what so ever. If you can't accept that snowflakes are white and sunglasses are black then I suppose that's a problem you need to address yourself. And you did start this, by passing off what I said as ludicrous..so you're the only person to blame for this being turned into what it is.

It doesn't matter if people class it as a racist term, it's still a ridiculous insult.
Calling someone a snowflake is an insult because a snowflake is white, and the person is white, correct?

So if I was to call someone a random black object, such as a pair of sunglasses, it'd be as equally as pathetic an insult.

It's like me calling a brown dog a tree, because tree's are brown =/

You know what I love? How black people can say racist comments but can't be racists while it's completely opposite for white people. Anyone ever seen Guess Who? If they made the original remake the same way it was, it'd cause an uproar. But I guess since white people have become more tolerant..

If you place a negative label on an entire race of people, that isn't racist?

She doesn't have to swear and call us all white trash just to pass it off as racism.

Calling all white people dull, is the equivalent of me calling all black people stupid. It's just a regular negative word, that has been associated with an entire race of people, even though all of those people are completely different.

Personally, I really don't care.
I hate to sound like im actually bothered that she called white people dull, because it really doesn't matter, plus she didn't write the script.

But it does fall under the definition of racism im afraid. Whether you agree with me or not, it doesn't matter..it's just fact. Placing a negative label on an entire race would be racism, end of story.

"RACISM -
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race."

Evidence of this:
People are of white race = they are dull, falls in line with the first bolded part.

It also implies black/foreign people aren't dull, which falls in line with the second bolded part.

It falls in line with the definition of discrimination.
