Nothing you just said even makes any sense to me.

The intent was to make Sophia think he was racist, in order to get a reaction (which he got, as we are talking about it now). If he actually is or not is largely irrelevant to this conversation, the intent to cause harm is more important to me.

I don’t think there are very many genuine racists around in this country still, the media is…[Read more]

Well, i’m sorry for being poor then.

What was said was racist, I agree. I meant that I don’t think the person who said it is actually a racist, just someone who thought it would be an effective way to provoke a response. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I don’t know who either of these people are, but ironic racism is a thing. I do it sometimes in the chat room (impersonating a Nazi…[Read more]

I have never really had any problems with Wetherspoons, I go there fairly regularly to meet with business clients as my home office isn’t really equiped to do that.

Maybe that’s because I go there during times that its not busy, or just that the one that I go to is better.

Well … yes?

Take the example : “I think that all black people should be shot because they are animals”. None of those individual words are ‘racist’, but when taken in context the whole sentance would be.

Its either the words that are racist, or the intention. You can’t pick and choose which when its convenient for your…[Read more]

There is no difference, other than the intention with which it is used.

C’est raciste!
Je suis si offense.

That being said, do you actually have any evidence that golly was created to be a stereotype of black people? Because I haven’t been able to find any connection other than the skin colour.

If that is the only reason, then how is that different than saying The Hamburglar is a racist stereotype of white people?

I was thinking more abstractly when I asked that question, abuse based on a characteristic you don’t consciously choose seems to be pretty much the same to me. The effect of the abuse is the same regardless if its because of race, sexuality or something else.

Also, I think there is an important distinction between “a doll being likened to…[Read more]

So the EU parliament has been blocked for taking part in negotiations.

Remind me again why you want to stay with these people?

Being that the parliament is the only democratic part of the EU, European citizens can no longer have any input in the way they want the negotiations to go.

A quick follow up point, do you think that racist abuse is comparable to homophobic abuse? I definitely understand what that is like.

I have actually recieved ‘racist’ comments before, but I just laughed at them. Mostly because they were made under the assumption that I was Mexican, which i’m not.

Hey, and welcome to Just Chat!

Really, so being called a gollywog is as bad as being a holocaust survivor?

That doesn’t seem right to me.

She has explained nothing, and given no documented examples.

You are also ignoring that she said specifcally that white people (as in all of them) are unable to understand it, which impies either that racism against white…[Read more]
