Aye, indeedy.Anyone can be racist but this current slide in EADD to 'bloody foreigners' is getting a bit uncomfortable. If someone came up to me and called me a 'fucking dyke' is that ok? Nope. So.
Everyone go look at the 'European and African' bit of the forum subtitle and have a bit more empathy.
I could murder a pizza right now. Though a decent one, not yer Dominos shite.My flatmate just woke me up and handed me a full Dominos pizza %)
You guys what the hell are you gibbering about.
For me the word white trasha and nigger offset each other, like paki and kike. All equally offensive. No difference
By the way did anybody watch that Vice doc on the Old Firm Derby, don't rember the actual title, something Football's most vicious derby.
Now those guys do know how to get under each other's skins. Brilliant chants

The hypocrisy of a lot of British people is unbelievable really.
Brits emigrate all over the world which is quite alright, apparently, however if anyone comes to our country they're vilified and treated as scum... Bizzare..!
if I was black and someone called me nigger it would immediately bring to mind to the situation out of which that word was born, slavery.
If you think calling someone white trash is equivalent to calling someone a nigger you aren't really thinking properly.
Really?
You think a slur like nigger that carries with it a history of oppression and connotations of slavery, abuse and degredation is the same as a slur like white-trash that carries no historical significance?
If someone called me white-trash it doesn't brinng to mind anything other than the fact someone is trying to be hateful towards me, if I was black and someone called me nigger it would immediately bring to mind to the situation out of which that word was born, slavery.
Agreed...It's not just my perception, it's an absolute fact.
White people have not had centuries of oppression with the oppressors referring to them as white trash. They haven't had white trash go home sprayed on walls in their community. Just pause and think about it for a second. It is in no way the same thing.
If you were black and a black person called you that would you think that?

That's your opinion. I do get what you are saying though but diff people get offended by diff things. Some people I know get hugely offended by the word cunt but think it's ok to call someone a dickhead. It's all about perception really.
When using words many things need to be considered- context. Who is saying it and why etc etc. I do respect your view point though.
I would never knowingly be racist and know that I'm not (well as much anyone can say- it's been argued that we all have some inbuilt racism which could be just making judgements based on appearance. Almost in the same way many would look at how someone is dressed and label them a chav)
Anyway I've went beyond waffling here and not sure that post even made sense.
To make things simple I just try not to be rude or offensive to anyone (doesn't matter on religion, sex, race, age). Can't we all just get along![]()
It's referred to as reclaimed language and to be fair I believe Owen is white and so are you so neither are in a position to even start to comment.
