I think that you're a racist and most likely a nonce.

Steady lad, he might sue.

Wow....is that how you refer to mix-race kids?

Only specific ones, see above.

No he won't, he'd lose.

Oreo might be the mot de jour in North America describing the condition mentioned; to my South African Asian friend the word used (and that he uses of himself) is coconut. The sentiment's the same: a person whose social, political, philosophical etc views are somehow seen to be not a match for what is expected from somebody of that particular skin pigmentation.

I'm with dbd here. If Obama was elected as the first non-white president at least in part because he doesn't espouse a "traditional black agenda" - if, indeed, such a thing still exists given the social mobility of Americans of all hues in both directions - then that is necessarily a good thing.

On the subject of Jimmy Savile, I have three comments...
1. There's only one L is his name, like Savile Row where the tailors don't hang out any more.
2. He's dead, so speaking of him in the present tense is a bit odd.
3. There is a very great deal of evidence that he had an appetite for young girls, and that the BBC both knew this and facilitated its occurrence while Savile was an employee. See Private Eye passim ad nauseam for details.

I don't care enough about Don Cherry to have much of an opinion, other than that it's obvious his ludicrous clothes are designed to distract attention from the shallowness of his commentary. He thinks fighting in hockey is a good thing, which is enough to utterly dismiss, in my mind, anything else he has to say as the rantings of a fool whose time has long passed.

Is this one of those "I am not a xxxxxx, some of my best friends are xxxxxxx" moment, that we have come to know of? I think by now we've come to realize that a group of people using a certain term on themselves and other refering to them as that, doesn't quite have the same tone

No

I say, "Who cares?" If Dbd33 believes hockey is sexist because he believes no females compete in the top league, then perhaps he could indicate whether he believes rugby, soccer, cricket, baseball, etc, etc, are also sexist.

Cricket, certainly.

And golf. Let's not forget golf. Even that bastion of male chauvinism, the Marylebone Cricket Club, voted to allow female members way back in the mists of the last century (well, 1998, anyway). Augusta National admitted women this year, but the Royal & Ancient still holds out as an all-male institution.

Perhaps greater female membership would curb the wilder excesses of the golfing wardrobe?

Oh Cricket allows the women to make the tea. How can that be sexist?

And the England team often plays like women so again, how can that be sexist?

It's disgraceful what the rest of Canada lets Quebec get away with. Let them leave and take all their debt with them.

All those sort of plans like putting them in leaky boats and shipping them back to France are impractical. After the big fight on the Plains of Abraham, even though they lost, we gave them the right to stay there, to maintain their language, and religion and culture, and you know, once you give someone some rights it's hard as hell to get them back. The debt isn't something I'm well versed in, but it's been long rumoured around here that they get more than their share of something. I've only been there once and I was left with the impression that Montreal has more than it's rightful share of beautiful women.
