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.Quote:
