or my personal choice baa baa dermatologically challenged sheep
also weren't the Brownies scout thingy changed to something different?
also I wonder if people are aware that most black (or other races) people actually don't care that much
You know, they've started playing DBZ again on some other network on Saturday mornings.TundraStalax said:

The guy asking for the apology seemed like he was having a really bad day...JJMUG said:
Loaded>racist, I said its barely racist these days its much more context/situation based than it was 100 years ago.AvitaDeva said:
People are much to quick to burn there race/special identity cards over the slightest thing these days.
Why should the fact that they have been around for decades make it less racist? Racism doesn't stop being racist just because you do it for a long time.Cowabungaa said:In Holland we had something similar about "negrokisses", which is the literal translation of this little darling:Queen Michael said:How?manythings said:

There was a lot of bitching about that despite the name existing for decades...
This one I knew about already. I visited Holland a week ago, and even visited a grade school to pick up my cousin. And yeah, I can't believe they've got that. Especially considering that the different Petes are treated kind of like smurfs or other gnomey creatures.Cowabungaa said:Also, what still isn't considered racism, despite some bitching about it 2 years ago or so, is the Sinterklaas fest which is going on right now. There's this dude called Sinterklaas, where Santa Claus got his name from, who roams the country with his helpers named Black Pete (all orchestrated in a lie for children so grand that Santa Claus pales in comparison), there's a ton of them but they're all named like that (like Gift-Wrapping Pete, Roof-Climbing Pete, etc etc). I won't say much else about it, a picture suffices:
Yeah. Imagine that being a national event in, say, the US. Welcome to Holland people!
I refuse not to call the golly wogs because when i was little my great grand -god rest her soul- would always tell me about the ones she had as a little girl, she even bought me on of these "golly wogs"
I'm from the UK, and coloured is derogatory and black is preferred...as they are not coloured, because that's the same as saying white people are coloured in comparison to black people.bojac6 said:
Yeah, but the word "neger" doesnt have the some weight as "Negro" or "******". Its simply a description of a colour. It can be used as a racial slur depending on context and on what other words attached to it. But in the context of "Negerboll" there's no racism about it. No black person here cares about it. Only insecure leftist pussbag kids who want to play "Political Correct Hero" makes a big deal out of it.Queen Michael said:How?manythings said:

I used to laugh at some of the things my Granda says, he just doesnt seem to realise what he says is Racist, We were in Tescos about two weeks ago and on seeing a Black guy he said "Flip, He's as Black as Your Boot"
I just feel awkward when he does it now.

I should probably start off this post by saying my grandmother is not racist. She could care less what the color of your skin is. Ever since she was a little girl, she believed racial discrimination against any group is cruel. This was back in the 20s and 30s mind you, when Jim Crow and segregation was still alive and well.
That said, she still refers to Brazil nuts as "****** toes." Apparently everyone in her town called them that when she was growing up, so she figured that must be their name. Old habits are hard to break, particularly when you're over 90.
