Re: Jokes on race/religion
point well made...
my argument however is that the word "chink" in itself is derogatory and offensive. used in any context can be subject to interpretation and may render the user to be viewed as racist, even though he may not be.
i do agree about the whispering though...
cheers
totoseow;377493 said:1. if a random foreigner called me a chink...he is asking for it. the last ang mor who said my car looks ludicrous..had me calling him white trash back. but then does it mean i think that way of all white people? no. fact is anyone HOSTILE can call me anything...if he can dish it out, he better be prepared to take some from me.
2. u know how its likely to happen. this foreigner friend of yours is gonna yell at u from across the road "CHINK"....u think i m gonna just dash across n hammer the shitt out of him...? unlikely la. there will always be time to establish ur relationship with him....just like, if anyone seriously bothers to read the back-n-fro between omar and bobby in that thread...they would have established they r friendly jibes.
the difference here is that...i wun be going to u edwin...n whisper to u that...ur foreigner friend is trying to be racist. neither wud i tell my friends that ED's friend just called him chink.
