I think i have said it before a few times but I am not that outraged by the use of the word. Whilst also admitting it's not the most polite of terms and certainly not nice in the context vardy used it. Last edited by scro; 18-08-2015 at 04:08 PM. |

I even told you that as someone with Chinese heritage that I've been racially abused as a "jap". And I'm by no means the only one. Other people on this thread have said the same thing. What Japans WWII actions have to do with racial abuse is not entirely clear to me. |

The name of the toothpaste was actually changed when it was bought by colgate, specifically because of the racism (it was originally called Dark*e!!). However, as with all corporates in a storm, they didn't change the name in Chinese. The characters still say Black Man Toothpaste. Racism exists in Asia quite a bit against dark people.

It's in the lower leagues compared to genuinely offensive racist words IMO. In the wider scheme of things not enough for the recipients to feel hard done by. I've already expressed the view that what 100 Japanese people think isn't the only factor. It's ignorant to call someone from somewhere else a Jap. I agree. Back to the story, it was odious behaviour but not much more than unpleasant and anti social. Not all that shocking and certainly not worthy of dismissal.

If you walk up to some random stranger is the street and shout at then, "you stupid f*****g c**t" that is offensive. Yes? You are having some banter with a mate and he says something daft and you call him a stupid f*****g c**t that is not offensive. Why? Because your mate knows you don't mean it to be offensive. Same words but a completely different intention and level of offensiveness. A completely different context. Another example is ****. **** actually means pure (****stan is the land of the pure people). The word is not offensive. It becomes grossly offensive in Britain because of the way British people use it. There is a simple rule of thumb. If you use a word, any word, with the intention of slurring or belittling someone, or careless of whether or not the listeners feel offended, then you are out of order.

Then there's the 'no blacks, no Indians' hotel news stories.
No racism in Thailand. |

So racism can only exist when physical harm accompanies it. Right........

The odd thing is it a lot of it isn't based in pure malice. Some of it is, but generally they (like many Brits) don't see what is wrong with stereotyping people. Last edited by Essexeagle; 20-08-2015 at 08:31 PM. |

No doubt Koreans feel the same way about comments/slurs about dogs, Chinese about betting and tax avoidance, Germans about deck-chair occupation, Eastern Europeans about 'stealing jobs' and Asylum Seekers of many nationalities about Welfare Benefit etc etc. Surely its all about context, how its said, and body language as to whether its racist or just a not very pc. ignorant thing to say. But anyway, getting it back to Vardy, this prick was clearly out of order in the manner he was addressing the guy, which to my mind, was racist, pure and simple. Hope they throw the book at him and make an example out of him. People shouldn't be allowed to act like that, especially when they are supposed to be role models to young children. |
