Unbelievable Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It's not a joke rooted in racism, it's a joke rooted in racial differences, which do exist, and are sensitive areas to joke about. The problem is people jump to racism whenever racial differences are mentioned, implying there's something wrong about it when there's nothing wrong with the fact black people look different to white people, to suggest otherwise is more racist. It's just stupidity with a racial context, not a racist context. Basically what I have been trying to say only put much better.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 a little while ago someone posted a pic of two players probably from the 1930's, i posted in repley to it that it was Incognito and mick, that wasn't seen as racist, if one of them was black and I posted that it was Mike, by the standards of this thread it would've been seen as racist.

Mike Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Well the joke changes, doesn't it? The joke for Incog and Mick is "Ha ha old!" The joke for me is "Ha ha black!" fwiw, Things on here directed at me that have actually offended me are few and far between. Putting up with the dumb shit means I can be as apparently racist as I am in the NFL and NBA threads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I've got plenty of ammo to fire at Mike resorting to racism. I mean, the guy bashed one out to the concept of his cousins tits. That's enough to go on for years. Plus the Liverpool shit and the awful array of sports teams he follows. All of this should be used first before lowering one's standards and playing the cheap black jokes. The fact Taylor thought this was acceptable is a problem. You should never resort to a joke about somebody's colour, race, sexuality or religion. It's completely uncalled for, even in the world of 'friendly banter'. When I was at school a couple of black friends used to rip each other all the time using racial slur's. I never found it funny. A Pakistani guy in my class used to get cheap laughs by calling other Indians/Pakistani's paki's. I never found that funny either. I've worked in an all white team before, and in a group with only one black person. Both times I pulled people up on racial 'banter'. I also resent the idea that I'm offended for other people. I'm not, I'm offended for me. I find that sort of behaviour offensive. If the other person wants to accept it then fine but that doesn't mean I have to think it is acceptable. I can accept there are differences between people genetically, mentally, physiologically, spiritually and philosophically but they don't need to be pointed out at all, and they need to be made fun of even less. They're not important and it's about time the world realised this. The manager of our footie team at uni, a British Indian lad, consistently used to go on about not wanting 'any dirty pakis on my team'. I can still remember the silence that struck the room the first time he said it. Crazy. The paper shop around the corner from my house is owned by an Indian lad. The off licence around the corner is owned by a Pakistani lad. The hate each other, the indian lad is always saying fucking paki this fucking paki that. He advised against me going to a particularly tandoori restaurant because they were "fucking pakis" telling me to go to an indian owned one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He advised against me going to a particularly tandoori restaurant because they were "fucking pakis" telling me to go to an indian owned one. It's funny you say that, because it's always struck me as odd the way "Paki" is a racist slur in the UK. I mean, I understand the how and the why of it, but it's just different to my experience. In Australia, "Paki" is an abbreviation with absolutely no racial-hatred overtones. It's something I'd use and I'm as pinko-PC as it gets. The only time it does get used here is when the Pakistani cricket team is playing ours. It makes your story of Asian businessmen even stranger - combining the racial-hatred element but also differentiating between Pakistani and other sub-continental "new Britons"...

Guest hydeous Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Why is anyone surprised that Indians can be racist against Pakistanis? Is that really racism? We're the same race. Nationalism / misplaced patriotism / stupidity, maybe? Not saying it's right for anyone to hate anyone, but comparing India vs pak (4 wars since 1947, religious differences and ongoing border issues wrt kashmir) to white vs black racism isn't really an accurate comparison.
