Derogatory racial terms and curse filters

Why is the term Aboriginal apparently exclusive to Native Ostry-ialions ?

Am I correct in thinking the term "Blackfellah " is not offensive ? .

..

 

"Abbo and Gin" does sound like a drink..."Absolute" vodka and gin...

 

Agreed - whatever you call yourself - "Californian" I suspect there's a fair amount of British(anglo-saxon) blood running in your veins. Wy else , so clear minded .

 

Remember this?

"Let me Abos go lose Lou, let me Abos go loose. They're of no further use Lou so let me Abos go lose"

All together now...Tie me kangaroo down boys....etc.

Pretty soon Peta is going to get to that kangaroo-tying business....

 

Can we also ban the words...'cracker', 'whitey', 'WASP', 'white-trash'? How about 'red-neck', 'hay-seed', 'bible-thumper', 'cowboy', 'homophobe', 'Nazi', 'denier', 'birther', 'neocon'?

Gee...SOME folks have a lot more insult-words than others here at the Forum it seems.

 

How abt - Nazi + self-hating Jew, ? " OR - Eeeeeeek - "ANTI-SEMITE - JEW HATER " -


WOW -- THAT'S GOTTA WARRANT BEING BURNT AT THE STAKE. or make you wish you were .

I am Californian. There is no other way to describe my native culture. Although you are correct that there are deep roots to several European cultures in California, including British, which we celebrate and are very proud of.

 

While we're modifying the curse filter, can we remove the word (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) (a word for cat that rhymes with wussy) from the filter please? The way the filter is currently set up doesn't make a lot of logical sense. Dick passes it fine, but (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) does not.

Although both of these words can be used in a profane manner, they both also have normal, harmless, everyday definitions. Which is why I am fine with dick being acceptable. I just think it would be a lot more fair and even if they were both treated in the same manner. Seems a little one-sided the way it is, you know?

Right now you can't even make a music thread in the Off Topic section about the (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)cat Dolls without getting censored.

 

I tried to make a thread about them once and saw it looked stupid, all filtered out. I think I had to delete it.

 

Its not.

Depends on the context but why would you wish to use the term?

 

To his credit, Rolf later changed the words to the song.

 

Us WOPS would prefer the word ''whitey'' be taken out as well.....What the hell do they think WE ARE?? ADULTS?

 

the more i think about it Tom,the more i think the filter should be lifted ,let them spew out their crap and let us fight them we are smarter,better and stronger then any racist fool .

Truth and humanity united has nothing to fear from the unscientific ,nationalist dribble of the Racially diseased mind ,Race doesn't exist!

The only Scientifically proven definition of the Human Species [note not human Race]is Homo Sapien Sapien!

Anything else is a construct in an individuals mind that is ignorance and in the service of Dividing humanity so that the status Quo can be maintained !

The old divide and conquer rubbish!

We are only the present custodians of Evolutionary developed Human DNA!

"How they hanging" my Primate bother ,we products of planet Earth evolution are 1 indivisable .

About time the word "race" is used for the only thing it describes a competitive event between human athletes!

Species and Race are terms that get confused!

Darwin never used "Race' to descibe evolutionary variety within Species conditioned by enviromental factors!

genetic Science has verified his Scientific observations ,thus backing up his theories and making them Objectively provable 'Natural Universal Laws of Evolutionary development"applicable to all Spieces on Planet Earth!

including Homo Sapien Sapien!

I am a proud ,monkey!

 

Actually, I largely agree with you, but would you mind if I suggested that you use the term Homo Sapiens Sapiens?

 

I would say to his discredit. Come on now. That tune was wildly popular and no one ever thought it racist until someone pointed it out. Some of you folks need to back off.

 

understand your worries mate i am politically correct and do not like the n word either, hope you acheive success here from these racist words.

 

Funny how many Obama supporters display their politically correct mentality like a badge that permits them to silence others they deem offensive.

By associating the PF word censor with political correctness, you just gave the perfect reason to eliminate it. From the PF Mission Statement:

"The purpose of rules and guidelines for the forum is to help create an environment that is inviting to as wide a spectrum of people as possible from all parts of the world, but that does not restrict the ability of users to express their political views, even if those views are inflammatory or unorthodox."​

Clearly the PF community rejects liberalminority's suggestion that all debate should be constrained to predefined politically correct boxes. We are not children and should not be reduced to their level of intellect.
