Genuine Hibs Fan Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Couple of folk about 2 posts away from "tinkers don't have the internet anyway so what's the problem" Imagine thinking people shouldn't care about the use of slurs because they aren't part of the effected group. And assuming that people/their loved ones are or aren't a part of any group because you're so desperate to be angry at folk for giving a shit Bracing for some braindead "faux offended" patter, as if that's the point of literally anything. Hopefully get someone saying actually Africans are racist towards each other as well, not seen that one on here for a while 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Call it what you want. Tinkers ain’t a race, its not a racial slur. It’s maybe an ethnic slur. But I’d suggest the faux-offendees on behalf of groups to which they have no direct relation would do their guards better service by actually getting it right before they launch in with both feet. Actually, both Romani Gypsy and Irish Traveller are very much considered a race by the Race Relations, Equality and Human Rights Acts, so your slur apologism isn’t even correct. Your attempted assertion that only the people that bigotry is directly aimed at should be offended by it is also fucking stupid. Unlucks. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is no different from the "Islam isn't a race" crowd.

ICTChris Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Bairnardo is spot on in what he's saying in fairness, but I believe ICTChris is quoting the poster "Kilt" who used to use that phrase to indicate his indifference to coloured circles.The streets remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or someone that has been part of the Gypsy community for 36 years, that has witnessed and even taken part in some horrendous things.

invergowrie arab Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Didn't realise the travelling community had names for the settled community.
