NG32 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 How come us Brits don't get offended by the term Brit. Even on Xbox Live when some US kid starts shouting Limey at me in a high pitched squeal I don't really understand the insult. I had to go research it myself, to understand what he was trying to get at, only to discover it was due to some stupid thing where we sucked on Limes to try and avoid scurvy (which didn't work). I think I prefer it when they just try and insult my Mother. F***ing Yanks man I love getting them worked up. How could limey possibly be offensive man! Even considering the historical relevance Its not at all offensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Has brit ever been used in a derogatory manner though? Apart from tabloid newspapers talking about Brits abroad!! Not that i've experienced, but when would we realistically experience it unless you have moved abroad? I've been called a snowfalke before though by some lovely Pakistani's i live next to Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickthemagpie Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I'm going to be honest here and say that racism in Newcastle is pretty bad too. I agree. The last time i experienced racism in Newcastle was during the petrol shortages a few years back. The Asian owned garage on West road continued to sell to Asian customers whilst claiming they had ran out when white people tuned up. Absolutely shocking behaviour. Needless to say the authorities turned a blind eye to this which was, in itself, racist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 If it makes you feel any better you're definitely not any worse than Seoul is, a lot of us are absolute pigs towards Southeast Asians/Black people Had a couple of personal experience that. Felt like an absolute criminal in one case. Some helpful chaps made up for it though. Having said that, racial discrimination of some kind exists everywhere, even living in a so-called peaceful multiracial country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 'm entirely serious,he'd make a superb future manager what better start than captain/coach the side for a season.then perhaps van gaal or hiddink as his mentor.
