Britain burns - Chavs ruin civilization

[The Brain]

As a North Germanic I am sick of all the slurs that get thrown our way.

[Neil]

No-one would look at you and call you anything on your appearance alone.

Look at that chin.  He's super slavic, and being a Slav is a bad thing.

[Neil]

I don't think "nigger" has been embraced ironically (it's not the same as "nigga"),

No, it is.  It's just that education has failed black people, and they have failed education.  Thus, ebonics.

Still don't get the whole "Paki" thing.  It's just shortened.  Like "Brit".  Or "Jap".

[The Larch]

Polaco and Polonés have some specialised meanings as well but non derogatory ones, in Castilian at least.
Colour me sceptical. The Larch or Iormlund should confirm or not in any case.

"Polaco" is, for some reason I just don't understand, used as a slur by people from the rest of Spain in general and Madrid in particular to refer to Catalonians in general and people from Barcelona in particular. If they support FC Barcelona then it's triple bonus points or something.
It has nothing to do with Poland itself, and "polaco" just means Polish.

In some parts of South America, AFAIK, "polaco" can be used as a catch-all term for any person of slavic origin.

Nigs with cigs eating figs in the brig.

This reminds me: I should get started on "The Nigger of the Narcissus".

It doesn't make sense yeah, but then Jap is offensive too.
And doesn't negro just mean dark skinned or somesuch?
I guess its just the history.

[KRonn]

IIRC someone on EUOT got his panties twisted something fierce when a non-native speaker made a joke about "Coffee" Annan. Apparently you had to be a Nazi not to know about his local word usage scene.

The Paki thing on Languish is pretty stale though. We've had this at least 100 times.

Lol, I remember that!

Where is "Jap" offensive?

Where is "Jap" offensive?

Most places isn't it?

Incidentally, isn't "Chav" racist against white lower class Brits?

How can you be raciss against a fashion choice?

They said banning burkhas was racist, too.
