El Cid Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 With the West Ham footballer in the dock for a arm gesture; how do people get upset about an insult to a race or religion? If you call someone a Pakistanis, it is racism; how would you insult a person from England or Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliceBB Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 The English : You would ask them how much they earn, whether they believe in God, how they vote and how often they have sex. Virtually certain to offend. Insults? Probably not helpful to explore those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 You would call the English bloke a Scot and the Scottish bloke English. I wouldnt feel insulted; perhaps I would know how it felt if it happened hundreds of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cid Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Calling someone from Pakistan a Pakistani is a matter of fact it is not racist. Calling a shop, a **** shop, or we now have Polish shops, not very PC these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien52 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Calling a shop, a **** shop, or we now have Polish shops, not very PC these days. Calling someone from Poland Polish (as long as you don't confuse it with what you put on the furniture) is OK too. **** may insult some people.

El Cid Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 I have always wondered why some people get called black, are they colour blind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
