Hamilton Accies rhymes with people from Pakistans derogatory name

Ahh. Apologises for my slowness. I've been down south for a long time. That one never seemed to catch on in London

Okay thanks.

Translated if a bit obscure.

Racism isn't banter

[IveSeenTheLight]

Racism is extremely subjective.
One person's banter is another person's disgust.
I don't condone racism whatsoever, however its interesting to see who defines what as racism.

I take it this conversation is surrounding the use of rhyming slang to refer to a corner shop owner as a Paki.
Whilst I understand the historical derogatory usage of this term, is it not also simply a shortening of the person's country of origin, like we are all Scots? Do we take offence at that?

Is calling an Englishman a guffie racist?
Is calling a Welshman Taff's or Gogs racist?
Is calling Rangers supporters Huns racist?
Is calling Dundee Utd fans PJM's racist?

In the modern world, it's probably wise to stay politically correct on terminology and we shouldn't be calling someone a Paki given its historical context, could it however just be a descriptive term rather than a racial term? Still, it is probably safer to chose alternative descriptive terms for the local convenience store than the Paki's or Hamilton Accies as the rhyming term.

I heard a comedienne the other day refer to David Dimbleby's on Question times reluctance to use easy descriptive terms when selecting an audience member to which she gestured to help him out by saying, "the man with the Turban David, the man with the Turban".

What is the world coming to?

Some cringeworthy stuff on this thread, but this takes the biscuit.

The whole post was probably the worst thing I’ve ever read in 20 years on here but that part really takes the f*cking biscuit. Try using that defence in front of a judge, let me know how you get on

What the hell is the ' being used for in all of this?

Racism isn't banter

I’m not racist though, I’m just a gluesniffing,alkie,senile weedgie tw@t that supports our club and disagrees with “some” on here now and again.

Enjoy your day, I certainly am although the golf could/should have been a bit better earlier on.
