You or your ancestors just haven’t been listening to the right tunes drac 🙂

Amazing how the majority can’t work out to speak without offending people, look at the damage colonialism did after all.

Amazing how some people like to pretend you can offend food

In an attempt to sound all big and superior.

Tunes, there’s a tune in there?

The Swiss haven’t had an empire, but they manage to be quite racist at times, so I understand.

That’d be racist… 😉

No.

As in what this thread is about.

Food apparently being racially abused (casually)

Well as it’s Nov 30th which I recall reading somewhere is the day we can reduce our mo’s to Hitler proportion so I shall be doing this later before my ride and then it’ll be into the Pub and be casually racist by so doing.

Why not…It’s all clearly their fault. 😉

Thats not racist, your in the wrong thread. Unless you live in ******** **** (the last user that mentioned this got banned).

I believe filter/ban evasion is a banning offense. As is talking about banning. Arse.

thats you and me on limited time then….

Sorry, I’m far too stupid too understand….

I’m sure not too stupid to understand.

But you don’t seem to have read enough of the thread ?

Try the first post on page one for clues.

Still going eh? Amazing how the majority can’t work out to speak without offending people, look at the damage colonialism did after all.

Apparently nothing compared to what’s being done today by colloquialism

Ah I see your point. So you think the reaction to the OP was assumptive, by the fact that is wasn’t actually directed at a person and therefore can’t be racist? In which case, this whole thread is a bit like VettelFlagGate – the last 15 pages have been a waste of time.

Lots of people talking about calling “people” chinky.

Nobody saying they actually do that.

Those people being called Racist for calling food names.

Blah blah blah.

.It’s the social context nealglover if someone is offended by whatever term you use they have as much right to say so as you have to carry on using the term. What you do with your food in private is up to you. If there is any food reading this thread I can only warn it that things can get much worse than being spoken to no matter how impolite the conversation. Things can get much much worse for the poor defenceless takeaway 🙂

Precisely, it’s only fair that someone defends the foods honour…

I’m ashamed to say, I was involved in an honour killing of some chips and curry at lunchtime.

wow, this is the thread that keeps on giving.

Like a one of those all you can eat chinese buffets.

Excuse me? *flirts with danger* …..

Er maybe not…

lol! the mods won’t close this one down on account of seeming racist. Just type any old shizzle, My cat ate a racist hamster, it’s name was Brian, and he was a right bastard.

Had shreddies at breakfast time, I’m a cereal killer 🙂

After all this we’ve booked in for a ni bit of African food here. 😉

Thats where I was going, with Drac’s mention of particalur kind of food in exclusion of all others if you get my drift.

If I’m not around for a bit, see you at Swinley… 😕 😆

True.

But does what people call food matter ?

reckon it does, especially if it has other connotations ….do ya not think ?

But does what people call food matter ?

When it’s the same word as a racial slur used to denigrate people of a certain race, and a significant number of people of that heritage have said they find it offensive? Are we really still debating this? Oh dear.

Are we really still debating this? Oh dear.

Of course we are. Turns out it actually is quite complicated. Also, it relies on people’s feelings, opinions and individual experiences rather than black or white (ahem) right or wrong facts.

and a significant number of people of that heritage have said they find it offensive

Have they ?

Or have they all actually said that they would find it offensive if someone called them the word in question.

I’m having Faggots and Chips for tea.

And I would expect someone who is gay to be offended if I called them a Faggot.

(Not a perfect example admittedly, but it kind of gets the point accross)

Subtle, but I like it.
