VILLAMARV Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 20 minutes ago, Dr_Pangloss said: This is like some buzzfeed nonsense, the original post totally ignored the nuance of class. It is simply not the case that being born white and male instantly equals easy street. Someone who is white and poor does not have much of an advantage over someone who is not white and middle class (or wealthier). Excuse my ignorance but i'm not all that familiar with buzzfeed so I'm afraid I don't get your attempted put down. I agree the OP could have been worded better but at no point has anyone tried to suggest that poor white people cant have it harder than anyone else. People's refusal to accept that being born white and male puts you into a demographic that may not be subjected to as many disadvantages as another demographic is what is close to nonsense from my perspective. That is not the same as saying 'ah well you've got it easy' and in no way does anybody's personal experiences change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterotype wise, from my experience it's not the best unfortunately. Used to work with a little Solmalian guy many years ago - Mad little sod he was. Quite funny teaching him some scottish humour catchphrases for him to repeat to others. But he had fled his country due to wars. He watched his brother get shot to death infront of him and also nearly lost his leg being shot twice himself trying to flee. ... on the other hand it didn't stop him stabbing fellow workers in the back either in order for him to progress further whilst trampling over others to get there!

Ingram85 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) I’m not liking that there seems to be a recent surge of minorly racist posters popping up in off topic, it’s not obvious right wing lunacy but more old style ‘innocent’ Bernard manning “I’m not racist but....” style stuff. You can feel it permeating through some users keyboard. Whether it’s jokes or comments, I don’t like it.

If you're going to be offended by being labelled a racist, don't say racist things. It's so **** easy. I agree. Who said I was offended about being labelled a racist? (If this is what you mean) I was referring to the slander side of the post brandishing rises in off topic and certain posters minor racists, rather than the core subject. Nor does it mean I treat myself as guilty if you will. I know I am not racist so I am not offended, but slander and snow flake attitudes while skirting round the subject does annoy. Sorry my post has got you worked up. Edited February 18, 2018 by AvfcRigo82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm not racist but... some of my best friends are pirates". Yeah yeah.. heard it all before. Calling people things like "Blackbeard", "Peg Leg", "Sadie the Goat" and "Ned Kelly" - is this really now acceptable in this brave new world of 19th Century "self motivated redistributive entrepreneurship"? It makes me timbers shiver, I tells ya, hearties. Parrot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
