Re: Yayyyyyyy, my first racist comment
A joke from the latest copy of Blues (a rural-focussed magazine):
--------------------
Paddy was waiting at the bus stop with his mate when a truck went by loaded up with rolls of turf.
Paddy said: "I'm going to do that when I win the lottery"
"What's dat?" asks his mate
"Send me lawn away to be cut"
--------------------
And instantly you can visualise Jim Davidson.

Re: Yayyyyyyy, my first racist comment
Totally agree. There are massive double standards about this on BE. People who rail against being called poms, or about the Aussie use of the words wog and paki, have no qualms about using the word chinky to describe Chinese food. A certain poster on here has, on several occasions, used the K-word to describe black people. Hardly anyone pulled him up on it (I think there was one comment) and the mods said nothing. If, as a white South African, I used that term I would be crucified - and rightly so.

Re: Yayyyyyyy, my first racist comment
I got told yesterday that if I didn't like the revised working conditions, I should leave and go home as people complaining the aircon is too cold to work in aren't wanted here. The ironic thing is that it was a Scot who said it, and someone else had to ask for a translation as they couldn't understand his accent ...........

Re: Yayyyyyyy, my first racist comment
Race
n.(noun)
1.A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.
2.A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race.
3.A genealogical line; a lineage.
4.Humans considered as a group.
5.Biology.
a.An interbreeding, usually geographically isolated population of organisms differing from other populations of the same species in the frequency of hereditary traits. A race that has been given formal taxonomic recognition is known as a subspecies.
b.A breed or strain, as of domestic animals.
6.A distinguishing or characteristic quality, such as the flavor of a wine.
[French, from Old French, from Old Italian razza, race, lineage.]
USAGE NOTE The notion of race is nearly as problematic from a scientific point of view as it is from a social one. European physical anthropologists of the 17th and 18th centuries proposed various systems of racial classifications based on such observable characteristics as skin color, hair type, body proportions, and skull measurements, essentially codifying the perceived differences among broad geographic populations of humans. The traditional terms for these populations-Caucasoid (or Caucasian), Mongoloid, Negroid, and in some systems Australoid-are now controversial in both technical and nontechnical usage, and in some cases they may well be considered offensive. (Caucasian does retain a certain currency in American English, but it is used almost exclusively to mean "white" or "European" rather than "belonging to the Caucasian race," a group that includes a variety of peoples generally categorized as nonwhite.) The biological aspect of race is described today not in observable physical features but rather in such genetic characteristics as blood groups and metabolic processes, and the groupings indicated by these factors seldom coincide very neatly with those put forward by earlier physical anthropologists. Citing this and other points-such as the fact that a person who is considered black in one society might be nonblack in another-many cultural anthropologists now consider race to be more a social or mental construct than an objective biological fact.
And that my dears, is that!!!!
