Re: Why?
Whew,
I got you after re-reading jeepers - call a spade for what it is, right?
So you're saying that Pakistani people should accept that we call them paki's because that's what they are?
They should accept the diminutive and insulting reference that our parents gave them because it's the truth?
Because, to be honest Jeepers, these people didn't have an easy time a few generations back.
They didn't call themselves paki's..and they learned to associate the term with disrespect in the same way that Chinese had to deal with being called chinks or gooks and the Africans were labelled in equally disparaging terms.
In short, they weren't seen or treated as whole human beings, they were considered as inferior or unworthy human beings.
You, my friend, need to look a bit deeper and understand, that the revised, 'no offence intended', doesn't work because these other cultures are justified in their distrusting attitude.
It wasn't so long ago that the terms we used were intended in a hostile manner and it persists to this day amongst people like yourself who are content to go along with old labels and refuse to review what you see for yourself, that is, if you care to look.

Again I say, It's not the name that matters.

Ok.
So black man calls another black man 'a nigger'. They laugh and joke.
A white man calls the same black man 'a nigger'. The black guy is mortally offended. Explain?

Re: Why?
BC,
Some joke! I`ve seen a post from this dickhead before, and I`m sure he`s an anti Scottish bampot.
Wonder what caused this? Made approaches to a jock and was refused? I guess he vents his spleen here as wifey, or mummy, keeps him in his place at home. Imagine getting pissed with a dick like this! His display cabinet must be full of second prizes. Take care of him, watch when he crosses the road.
Regards,
Davie.

Re: Why?
Jinglies!
as an interesting aside; a much misaligned word often used in the middle east and originally thought to have come from the soldiers of the honourable company trading to the east indies, Jingly/Jinglie/jinglies, has its etymological roots in pre British India. A word used to describe a rural farm worker.
Interesting that over a hundred years later the word is still in daily and correct use.
However if I were to say that the UAE was full of jinglies I’d apparently be a PC pariah
The pc brigade may also want turn their attention to an apparently innocuous word; Thug, as this was a word again from pre British India used to describe an ethnic group the Thuggie (akin to gypsies/romanies as a loose ethnic group). Who were a continent wide group of rapist’s, murders and extortionists.
However surely in pc land using the word thug is in fact an ethnically derogatory term and should be banned forthwith.

I always wondered where Jingly came from. Educational as ever, this place.

Re: Why?
BC,
Please show me where I`m wrong.
Would you and your ilk be happy if I wrote .......and those English Bastard?
I know where I went wrong!! He was referring to the after effects of Scotch, which we all know can be severe. Silly me.
For an obviously aggressive person to have two friends is surprising. Fair play to you. You ladies must stick together.
If you are in the Dubai area, could you tell me if there was a bridge over the Creek in the mid to late sixties?
Regards,
Davie.
