sccsux Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Seems it's ok to slag off americans and call them yanks, but we do not dare upset our ethnic friends and use the word 'p*ki' Calling Americans "Yanks" is hardly the same as calling someone a "****" though, is it (remember, the Americans call us "limeys")?

CottonTop Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Calling Americans "Yanks" is hardly the same as calling someone a "****" though, is it (remember, the Americans call us "limeys")? It is all in the perception. To my mind, and probably most others, **** is just a shortened version of Pakistani. It is only racist to Pakistanis because they perceive it to be. I don't care much for the "Yanks" nickname myself. Over here, "Yanks" only refers to those who reside above the Mason-Dixon line. Us Southerners are referred to as "Rebs". Reminds me of a joke.....what is the difference between a Yankee and a Damn Yankee? Yankees go back home! **Just kidding, Buck and HappyHoosier!

Harleyman Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 This thread is just an excuse to slag off Americans and also soldiers. The OP obviously has his/her knickers in a twist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
