There are huge differences between derogatory words for a person from a country when used in Britain. If the word is aimed at a someone from a country that we colonised and then treated like crap because people didn't like it when some of them decided to move to Britain for a better life. Then I have far more issues with it than a word that is used for a person from a country that decided to jump in bed with Hitler and generally treated our people like animals. The words just have totally different connotations. Yes they might both be nasty and unkind but i know which one i would judge someone for using more (see also Kraut and wop). One is all about oppression and discrimination and the other just stems from a gripe between nations. The fact he didn't know he was from japan and therefore might well not have been does make it slightly worse. However it still doesn't elevate my view of him beyond being a nasty arrogant tit. A bit like Gweilo it's not nice to have such a term but it's hardly something we are mortally offended by. I imagine that or say farang used in an aggressive situation like this isn't all that nice but they are hardly words that would get people the sack. They just don't have the same history as other words i would think of as properly racist labels. Last edited by scro; 11-08-2015 at 10:17 AM. |

Just to confuse it further was the use of say Brits Out in Ireland using the term as a term of friendship ? |

However....after watching the video and the context of how its being said its certainly said in a derogatory/racist manner. And would expect him to be punished retrospectively. |

Yeah we'll just ignore the fact that they did a lot more than just say stuff shall we?

I expect the three players sacked will be seeking compensation now for unfair dismissal.

I suspect that the man of asian origin was only offended because he's recently been told that he should be.
I'm looking forward to a nice rant the next time Johnny foreigner calls me a Brit. Only the other day I was talking with friends about Hackney Marsh football, how open and rough the place appeared and how there were some teams I wouldn't fancy playing citing a 'team of bloody great black blokes', the meaning clearly referring to their physical presence, and the black friend interjected with "steady, where are you goong with yhis". It annoyed me that I had to explain. When he got it he went on to tell me about a 'team of Turks"......naturally I interjected with "steady, where are you going with this....." Truth is, it's all become rather pathetic.

Why? Every case has to be treated on it's individual merits/demerits. The facts were very different in their case I believe and the subsequent decisions of Leicester in another situation are unlikely to be relevant. An employee has 3 months from the dismissal date to appeal to an Employment Tribunal in cases of unfair dismissal - not sure if they are out of time ?

So are we going to start taking offence at people referring to the Scottish as 'Scots' or the British as 'Brits' or even Australians as 'Aussies'? all these seem to be accepted and not considered racist in the slightest.
Another ridiculous example of the PC Brigade making something out of nothing.

People like you getting upset over nothing cause more problems than you solve. If you believe in it all so passionately then stop nit picking in England and get yourself out into Iraq where racial and religious genocide is occurring daily. I'm sure that your incisive use of memes will soon have people questioning themselves and World peace amongst the human race will result. Nah, you're a prick.

Yes and it's correct , so why the need for the first sentence ?
An example of one person in a completely different context. |
