I was wondering what posters on here thought about the words that are acceptable and unacceptable when discussing race?
For example - is it acceptable for black people to call other black people ni***ger - but other races can’t ?
And is it acceptable for Pakistani people to use the word Brit or Yank ........ but pa*i is unacceptable?
Don’t get me wrong - I don’t use those words.
But should there be a levelling up ?
Or are things ok as they are?
If people are not dealt with in the same manner then is this likely to generate resentment?

When I was at Uni (30 years ago) in lectures the word negroid and negro was regularly used.
If we are talking race - Caucasian - Oriental ......... is Negroid or Negro now unacceptable ?
Whether this is part of the Critical Race Theorists strategy I don't know for sure , it's possible .

For posters not familiar with the Critical Race Theory it basically places the blame for all racism at the feet of white people which is just not true and has a strategy to make all white people feel guilty for it .

People often use certain terminology wrongly and sometimes inappropriately but I wouldn't altogether condemn them as racists which seems to be where we are at the moment .
