[Closed] i dont wanna sound like a rascist but..........................

Racist. 😉

Try water torture.

its for student project

Oh you're on thin ice my son......not a good place to be for a man of your stature (I saw the picture, cute kid!)

Racist would be to say "All Asians sell hooky DVDs"

mcboo - thats what normal people would call racist.

TJ on the other hand would probably stretch the point to: "I saw a non-white man selling DVDs once" = Racist!!!!!!

😉

stoner, no

Nah not racist in the way you have worded it - and I suspect no non oriental folk are coming in selling dvds, and it's the act of selling dvds that is doing your box in rather than anyone's race.

It does amuse me that folk so love to put words in my mouth and anticipate what I would say and so often get it so spectacularly wrong.

Yer me to, whats going on as not had this for a while but it's back again. Do you thinks it's some dodgy organised crime/counterfitting thing using illegals? It seems a bit sad when they sell nowt, mind you perhaps that they want us to think. Wonder what the story is.

Are they selling like blockbuster copies or p0rn?

[i]Are they selling like blockbuster copies or p0rn? [/i]

Sexist!

You could have just said you were sick to death of people coming into work trying to sell you DVDs.

Careful ton - you'll be labled once the "posse" read this

Ha ha, the remarks are quite comical, and folk still going to the easy "TJ would say..."

It still beggars belief to me, what some folk cannot see (or deny to be) as racism, tyger being a classic example.

If you don't think it's offensive then that's your opinion, but the stuff you have posted previously was clearly racist.

If, for example, all of the sellers had been Turkish and ton had said he was

sick to ****ing death of people of a Turkish persuasion coming into work asking me...........you wanna buy dvd........

No, just factual. As was the OP.

I'm with Ton on this one. I'm sick to death of Australians asking me if i want to buy beer when I'm stood at the bar in the pub.

Oh well, at least it'll all stop once we're living in an Islamic state.

likewise, i'm sick of people of a afro-carribean persuasion asking me if i wanna buy crack cocaine.

whatever you do dont buy!

one time i was approached by an asian guy offering adult dvds, only a couple of quid, ill have th hot blonde lesbian one thanks

turned out to be an hour and a half of 'fat oldies bangin each other'

THERE HAVE BEEN GROUPS OF CHINESE PEOPLE DOING THIS IN SHOPS IN BOLTON .SOME OF THEM ARE GOING THROUGH COURT FOR SELLING PORN INVOLVING ANIMALS !

we are all racist to some degree but we get really preachy when the skin colour is different. How many trendy liberals are happy that a joke about the great people of Wales can be told, even on that organ of equality the BBC but would go apoplectic if you told a joke about a guy from the West Indies called Chalky. Taffy, who cares.

IS THAT WORSE THAN SEX WITH VEGETABLES, MR POTATOHEAD?

🙂

mt - I was watching Walk on the Wildside on iPlayer the other day - seemed to have a lot of humour based in generalisation/race/accent etc.

Did you watch it TJ?

only if its root vegetables

The Welsh thing is a bit different. They are clearly inferior.

binners you need to stop drinking in gaybars

In all seriousness though I guess it's accepted that the notion that one nation is better/worse than another is just banter & there is little or no real-world significance.

However racism is clearly alive and well and affects many.

but if i go in any other bars they take offense at my PVC hot pants.

Ton yer racist! Anyway, I cant talk. For years Ive been trying to get our lass to call me 'G.I' in the bedroom 🙄

cynical - quite right....but...

The pious PC with an itchy trigger-finger dont allow for "banter" and are far to ready to wield agressive accusations of racism.

For the avoidance of doubt, I mean TJ.

Sorry TJ, but you do a disservice to yourself and the argument when you draw YOUR line way down the "banter" end of the scale of things. You become a parody of yourself.

I'd love to see government departments/ the commision for racial equality etc try and apply their rules on discrimination to the regional predjudices present in north west of England. ie: Yorkshire/Lancashire, Scousers/Mancs, Leeds folks/everyone else, Bolton/Blackburn

Just to see how far they get. Every other person would be arrested every other day for incitement to racial hatred.

However racism is clearly alive and well and affects many

In all seriousness you need to lighten the **** up

if you are a media planner at the BBC i would say not so much racist as a problem with lack of vision

- remember all those excellent but oddly sound tracked eastern european cartoons we use to get on tv before computer animation

Stoner - balderdash old chap! You know what I would say on this one?

There is much casual racism on this forum. Many others agree with me. Just 'cos you can't see it does not mean it is not there. Racist banter is not acceptable to me and many others.

i am sick to ****ing death of people of a oriental persuasion coming into work asking me...........you wanna buy dvd.

were they rubbery? 🙂

TJ - so you take offence at uplink's witty, but culturally dependant quip?

TJ, do you take equal umbrage at casual inverse snobbery?

😉

antigee Im the story teller and I have many tales to tell...

I used to fancy Heidi as well!

And why do racist people not like being called racist anyway?

They might at least have the courage of their convictions and wear the badge with pride.

I disagree and it's frikkin tragic that folk think it's acceptable on a public forum. Racist jokes/banter in private is a different matter, perhaps that's where you're getting confused.

The pious PC with an itchy trigger-finger dont allow for "banter" and are far to ready to wield agressive accusations of racism.

Like I said above it's a public forum, not someone's living room, I don't really think it's acceptable as you don't know whether the person coming out with the banter is racist or not.

when the stw regulars stop abusing folk with ginger hair, local dialect english and the obesity disease i will stop the phrase.

"my name charlie wong, wanna buy dvd"

going through my head.

Que?

TJ - just out of interest - what do you find acceptable? Anything at all?

At the risk of offending you, have a read of this:

raises an interesting question on defintion - is racism in the eye of the beholder or the speaker?* It reworks the same discussion about taking offence (not just in a racist context): is offence given or taken and if the latter is it the fault of the giver if offence was not intentionally given? (if you get my point)
