Experiment to prove the doulbe standard when it comes to Racism

Yes, you can claim that. You can also state your case to the moderators and maybe you'll get it uncensored. You haven't done it yet.

 

Jews were tossed into ovens, in nazi Germany, and hymie is an anti jewish slur.

 

He's talking about me. My original quote didn't include the dragging behind cars though. For me, the fact that even he knows what the censored word references without me saying it just strengthens the case against his position.

 

The k-word is just denoting the way Jews signed their documents. Heck, I didn't even know about this word until a year ago. When I think of this word, I don't think ovens. I think Donald Sterling or some other prominent Jewish person. Nothing denigrating. But if I heard someone calling a Jew, for example, "biscuit," then I would know exactly what they're referencing and be stunned by it.

 

He was so emotional in his responses, he was all over the place.
It was like watching a pin ball game bouncing all over.

 

I don't see any black slaves or segregation. So it went away.

Shall I find pictures of the DC sniper for you? He killed 16... does that make him better than the guy who shot 9?
ONE crazy (*)(*)(*)(*)head racist goes postal and suddenly its racism from all whites.. If I show you a crazy (*)(*)(*)(*)head racist who happens to be black and who harms or advocates harming whites will you say that all blacks need to address their racism?

 

I don't think it should be either. If only people would stop using it in that context and the memories of people who had had it used on them in that context could somehow be erased. I'd also like to come home tonight and find my fiance had picked up a nubile and attractive female to have a one time 3 way with. What's your point?

So you don't think calling someone a racial slur might lead to a physical altercation? I'm trying to illustrate a point: You'll argue with me here about it all day but you won't go up to a person who might actually be offended and able to do something about it, call them a racial slur and then explain to them why they shouldn't be offended. I'm not offended by any of these words, even gaijin which means white foreign DEVIL (ie you are not human you are a literal demon from the underworld) or hillbilly or redneck or cracker or peckerwood. If you want to argue with someone who is offended by these words that they should not be offended I encourage you to take your reasoned debate to the streets. I don't think you'll do that, but hey it is what I encourage you to do if you're so in a twist about it. I've been on this thread simply to point out that it is a double standard to censor (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) but not **** or mick or wop or dago ad nausem.
The only one who looks ridculous is the guy who thinks paki aint a racial slur and won't incite a fairly violent reaction in those its aimed at. But don't take my word for it: Go try it yourself.

Hey don't tell me that, I'm not pakistani. It don't bother me hoss. It bothers pakistanis though. Even when the word used is not paki and its not referring to humans. http://www.desiblitz.com/content/pakisaurus-trends-for-jurassic-world-boycott


Again EMOTION has nothing to do with REASON. You're trying to put reason onto a wholly emotional issue. You're not going to get good results that way. Right tool for the right job I always say.

 

Did you seriously just say that a jewish person wouldn't know a racial slur when it was slung at them? I'll bet italians don't know what dago means either or irish don't know what a mick is. Native americans probably don't know you're insulting them when you say Injuns either.
Cmon. Seriously. Stop taking the (*)(*)(*)(*).

This one: "Nope. Unless some violent outbreak happens because those words are used continuously to incite violence and hatred to one of those groups.
But do continue."
As referenced "*******" refers to arabs.

Run Run Away Brave Sir Robin

 

And the entirety of the south does this eh?

 

Because if you call me a "honky" I'll probably be amused rather than offended.

 

I don't agree they're equally offensive. And I don't understand how testing the obscenity filter on one website proves what standards "society" might hold.




​

 

No, what is your point? You started by quoting me. What is your point?

I have never even said anything about it! and I don't care! and it doesn't matter!

MOD EDIT - Rule 3

I never said that. stop it.

As I've said, I NEVER said anything about that at all. It's just you, who for some odd reason, want to change the subject to fighting various minorities. It does look very ridiculous. Stop it. And please, don't try to make such "points" in public or professional settings. This is a forum, and you're anonymous, so it's not so bad, but don't do this crap elsewhere. For your own sake. You will appear like a fool.

Also, if some one were to get violent for being called polack, paki, or jap, they are (*)(*)(*)(*)ing ridiculous small people.

Have you realised yet that I am actually just complaining about it being emotional rather than rational? What is your point?

 

So **** doesn't conjure up gas chambers? Or are gas chambers nonviolent?

 

Nazis didn't use the word ****.

 

you don't get to decide what is equally offensive only the ones that those demining, degrading, and derogatory words are direct at can make that decision then it is subjective to the individual and in the context it is used

 

Not really, it's a yiddish word and there weren't a lot of Jews operating those gas chambers. Was the word even used before world war II?



​

 

Of course I do. And so do you and the next guy... and our collective opinions will influence the laws and customs of our nation. If you believe otherwise pick a random word, decide using it is a hate crime and see how far you get.




​

 

That there is a double standard when you censor one racial slur but not the others. You know...... the op? Have you even been reading the thread?

You accused me of being an internet tough guy. I was simply pointing out that using a racial slur on someone is liable to cause an altercation. If you didn't like my illustration: Well I"m just so broken up about that. Really. I am. I don't know how I'll live with myself, some random apparently swedish guy on the internet doesn't agree with me!!! O the huge manatee!

"Yes I am, because I'm making the point that they are not inherently offensive. There is a big difference between "stupid paki" and just "paki". "
^ That's you a few posts back. I say you go test your claim. Find a pakistani and ask them if "paki" is offensive to them. When they say "hell yes it is and (*)(*)(*)(*) you very much" and threaten you with bodily harm or actually commit it against your person, you can explain to them why they are "(*)(*)(*)(*)ing ridiculous small people." as you put it.

My point? That your expectation that an emotionally charged issue like expressions of racial hatred would be resolved by reason is rather foolish and naive. Seriously, have you ever MET people? We are not reasonable beings, we are beings capable of reason. Its a subtle difference but the sooner you grasp and accept it and learn to work with it the sooner your blood pressure will level off.

Look what I found on google when I typed in etymology of racial slurs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs

 

How is that relevant?

 

Interesting, thanks for sharing. (Kind of scary there are that many ways to say "I don't like your kind"...)



​

 

It has nothing to do with what year was it. **** is a derogatory word for Jew, and Jews have also had a violent history. Saying (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) is he only word with a violent history is wrong and I just proved it.

 

And why are you making that point to me? I have not disputed it.

Why? Just why, would you bother to make that completely irrelevant point? Why? why!

Yes, my view is that "paki" is not inherently offensive, and that people shouldn't view it as such. I do not deny that people actually view it as offensive despite that. Those are different, keep them apart.

If someone threatens me with violence for uttering a word, they are small and ridiculous people. I'm sure most people would agree it is not okay to get violent over a word, even if it is offensive. That is what retards do, and drunken people, irresponsible people, kids, punks. Not well manner people.

Oh, you think I come here with the expectation that I was going to solve all the problems? I did not. I came here to post my opinion of it. This is a forum. Do you know what those are for?

 

To show that the word doesn't conjure images of gas chambers and the specific post I was referring to was just being hyperbolic.

The wierd thing about the word **** is it does indeed seem to originate in Germany, but it was used by some German Jews to demean other Jews.

 

If the word wasn't used when that 'violent history' you're talking about happened, citing it doesn't demonstrate the word has a violent history.
