Following a post where a comment suggested that the topic had racial content as we brought some of our ethnic players into the topic.
When does something get deemed racist? Is it merely mentioning race or colour or has it got to have a derogatory edge?
I read a joke where a young Muslim lad looses his mum in a shopping centre, the staff try to help and ask, what does your mum look like? The young lad says I don't know.
is this racist? |  | | |  |

Could the black man abusing the white man about his race also get charged with the same offence as the white man if the roles were reversed? Yes. Yes he could. |
It's all to do with continuous intimidation.. it's just like people intimidating a person they deem 'below' them.. speak and act differently towards a person they deem 'intellectually inept' or 'socially below them'.. I'm actually qualified in every aspect of 'patronism'.. I can relate to..

Heightism
Geekism
Sexism
Criminalism
Thickism
Intellectual vulnerabilitism
Disablism
Alcoholism

Disablism
You can add many more to the list.. I've been judged, ridiculed on nearly every aspect possible.. and still get ridiculed. |  |

I've no idea what you're bleating about this time but it's nothing to do with what I asked you. |  |

Not really relevant though as not all men are equal. Whether they should be is a question but that they are not is a fact. |  |

I'm talking about the thread.. it's deemed racist when somebody gets continuously intimidated... the words are not the problem.. it's the overwhelming intimidation factor that people give out towards a black man.. | |

Oh really. I interpreted the joke as implying that the son doesn't know what his mother looks like because she always wears a burka face covering thing at all times so he's never seen her face.
One of us is over-thinking this joke. |
I've looked at the joke again, and I think you're probably right. Silly me. I completely over-analysed it. | | | |

Not particularly Jackfath.. I have more of an improving attitude.. it all boils down to the 11-15 period.. it's this period that's the most vital period of life.. I'm not feeling sorry.. or whining.. I'm questioning why I'm a better teacher of myself than actual teachers.. speaks volumes. | |

I fed up of the whole debate. I don't disagree that racism happens, of course it does. But in far too many cases racism is used as leverage for something else. Be it to get a job (or compensation) or to settle a grudge.
Genuine racism needs rooting out and punishing, and educating our kids should be enough to gradually bring it to it's deserved end.
Until then, some people need to get a sense of humour. Others need to see past their own prejudices (because plenty of non white people are prejudiced too) and we should just learn to get on. Live and let live.
I have black friends, only one asian friend and I used to have a chinese friend (we lost touch over the years) and none of them worry too much about racism. They ignore it, unless it turns physical. But they know their white friends will help them out.
Otherwise they treat racists the best way, ignore them for the ignorami they are.
Is this joke racist, it's up to the reader. Some will say yes, some no and some won't know. | |

It's all about personal opinions... if it were me, it would just roll off my back because I personally feel that by taking offence you are admitting to an inferiority complex, like there's something to mock when there isn't... you are also allowing bigots to win because they intended to offend in the first place...
oddly enough, I don't work down a mine or shag sheep so I'm not going to take offence... the same goes for people who complain about our anti english songs... I can categorically confirm that england isn't filled with excrement as the song goes so why would anyone take offence.... if our english players spent their young lives wading through poo on the streets then fair enough, but they didn't.
I do understand those who take offence when skin colour is brought into it but personally I wouldn't as I'd be extremely proud of my origins... |  |

t's not racist, it's just not politically correct. Which in itself is another form of bigotry and intolerance | | | |
