8MileBU Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 So this was bollocks then? Thanks for clearing things up. The only thing bollocks is the amount of times you’ve tried to start arguments about racism. Really weird tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where context comes into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no, context is always important. That's kind of the point of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being against racism isn’t weird in civilisation my man. In that one narrow example, yes, but you’re playing a game of semantics to the extreme with your argument, and it’s blatantly obvious that’s not what I’m getting at here. Why is it so important for you to label someone? Context always matters in assessing these things. Always. There are very few circumstances in which it's appropriate to use the word, and most people just use their common sense but 'using racist language in ANY context makes you a racist' is utter shite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter is called a "hafu" (the equivalent of "half cast" in Japan) on a daily basis by sweet, well meaning elderly people. There's no offence taken because there was none intended.

Also the idea that 'being against racism' and 'trying to start arguments about racism' are interchangable in his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could murder a black man and be exonerated on the grounds of your family situation. Are you comfortable with that sort of power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
