Is snowflake more or less offensive than gammon?Bloody hell Astley, you will have the usual snowflake meltdown on here soon.
Neither are offensive.Is snowflake more or less offensive than gammon?
These terms lost the bigwig from the FA, his job! He also said birds are listen in goal. To be fair to him, thats completely true. I had to switch the news off, couldnt listen to any more simpering.Are they, “offensive”, terms?
Probably for the best as you'll never get it.These terms lost the bigwig from the FA, his job! He also said birds are listen in goal. To be fair to him, thats completely true. I had to switch the news off, couldnt listen to any more simpering.
So “coloured”, and “of colour”, are now officially on the offensive list?Probably for the best as you'll never get it.
Things change with time but some people don't, or won't. Why not speak to people and ask them about their experiences. Take some time to read stuff that doesn't reinforce what you already believe?I thought it was a bit harsh, him losing his job. Wasn’t black offensive not too long ago and coloured was acceptable?
What he said was a clear example of how out of touch these dinosaurs are. These are the people making decisions that affect thousands of people.So if some old coffin dodger refers to them as coloured because that's what they grew up to call them but hasn't a racist bone in their body it's wrong and should lose their job.
But referring to them as blacks and saying they should go back to their own country is ok.
Words are nothing. It's in the intent that they are used.
Admit it, you’re ginger, aren’t you?I still feel that labels divide us rather than solve any problems, I admit to being a Dinosaur and come from a time of Jocks. taffys and paddys but it was never offensive just friendly banter. I have blond hair, pink skin and blue eyes surly that make me a person of colour ?
NO fag ash blondAdmit it, you’re ginger, aren’t you?
There you go again, make out I'm going to say something then go on and tell me how wrong it is to say something I haven't said.What he said was a clear example of how out of touch these dinosaurs are. These are the people making decisions that affect thousands of people.
Instead of taking umbrage and getting all defensive, maybe have a think about why people find some things offensive. Don't just fold your arms and tell yourself you've always used a term so it's OK to carry on using it and people can just put up with it. And it's nothing to do with freedom of speech so bringing that old chestnut into it and trying to associate it with today of all days is a diversion from the point.
It's not all about you Dickie, the freedom of speech was referring to a post a couple below yours. Can't be arsed to quote them all.There you go again, make out I'm going to say something then go on and tell me how wrong it is to say something I haven't said.
It's got fuck all to do with freedom of speech but everything to do with what terms they use which are normal to them (as long as those terms are not used to belittle offend embarrass anyone)
There are obvious words that fall into those categories and there's no excuse for but the term coloured has been used with no offence given or taken for a long time. In fact I can remember when the term black was considered offence.
Fuck sake, snowflakes need to get up off your knee and start embracing everyone as equal regardless of colour (or is the term blackness best used now) and culture.
Pot and kettle at its finestThere you go again, make out I'm going to say something then go on and tell me how wrong it is to say something I haven't said.
Not seen a black guy take a knee for a white guy and I wouldn't expect him to coz I view him as equal. No better or worse.It's not all about you Dickie, the freedom of speech was referring to a post a couple below yours. Can't be arsed to quote them all.
And you'll find it's the "snowflakes" taking the knee that are the ones accepting equality. It's the ones who take umbrage at any sort of challenge to their privilege and comfort who are the snowflakes as they can't bear their position being challenged because people dare to want to be treated equally.
Shut up big nose and go back to the happy clappy forum.Pot and kettle at its finest
