what? Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 OK, so after reading all this because I was worried about a worst scenario. My conclusion is: Shortened slang words such as Chink , Jap are racist because they cause offence. Brit and Aussie do not cause offence. If the word jap was used it was not in a racial overtone, just a Politically incorrect address. Jamie has made an apology for his behaviour. They will fine him for aggressive behaviour in a public place. Everybody walks away (until the next incident). They're the same thing though, Naming them otherwise just further serves to normalise micro aggressions and creative a hierarchy of racist behaviour wherein you have unacceptable racism at one end of the spectrum and 'acceptable' racism that the other. The kind that's 'just a joke', 'doesn't really mean anything' or that people should 'stop being so sensitive about'. Bringing up a persons race in an argument that has nothing to do with it isn't politically correct. It's a symptom of internalised racist beliefs.
yorkie1999 Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 It's fvckin confusing. What race is Japan exactly, are they Japanese or Asian or Oriental. If racial abuse is putting someone down because of the colour of their skin, what colour is jap? How come Samual L Jackson gets away using the word nigger in most of his films? I think the world would be a better place if no-one learnt each others language or we were all deaf.
Foxhateram Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Will the other person involved be arrested for cheating in a casino? It is offensive and a crime to look over someone's shoulder and cheat, especially when there is potentially large amounts of money involved. Not saying that 'if Vardy said the word they are referring to' isn't in the wrong, just playing devils advocate and pointing out the other person involved isn't exactly innocent themselves. It might not be a racist way to offend someone, but I would be offended by their demeanour if someone looked over my shoulder to cheat. What would happen if Vardy cheated in a casino in Japan? Bet you he would be called a 'typical drunken Brit' or "typical Brit Thug" is that racist? As for the casino/more than likely the security for selling this to the sun, they are horrific people! So many sh't stirrers in this world these days.

mozartfox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Seriously, fuuck the media. Well said. Lets please move on. We signed a Japanese Player to enhance our profile in his home market. What do you think this crap is going to do that particular initiative?
jamfox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 It’s not that clear cut, I think in general there seems to be confusion as to if Jap is used like Brit or if it is a term of offence, its used as previously mentioned in a positive way like “japfest” you would not go to a curry convention called pakifest would you now!? Id fine him 2 week’s wages and dominate the money to kick it out, send him on an awanese course that helps him behave and not embarrass himself , together with an apology that’s a measured reaction and it will blow over Forget about it and move on, then watch him hug Okazaki after his hat trick against west ham and get back to the fact that he is looking like a blinding good player.
desertfox2 Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 He's a footballer jeez nobody is expecting Shakespeare. I very much doubt he knew anything about it being an aniversary for the nakazaki thing. I'm the same age as vardy and didn't have a clue Jap was offensive. It is by the way, checked with a Japanese guy. Who knew

Thank you for mentioning a possible reaction to "Jamie Vardy" and this particular incident, and not bleeting on about what the construct of what is/is not racial abuse.
lestajigs Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Jesus Christ, what a joke absolute joke completely over the top this! Oh dam it, am I alright to say "Jesus Christ" or am offending other religions now!

Collymore Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 The Daily Mail of course today go with the headline about Vardy being a racist and hardly mention our match. The irony is their front page goes on about how migrants are using the NHS to fund healthcare abroad, I mean how dare "they" look after themselves and families. What a paper!
Always Next Year Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Leicester Mercury have pulled the headlines Should Leicester Sack Vardy form Newsnow web site. Wonder why.
Babylon Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Wheres the carebear? On holiday... should be coming back soon with a new fresh look.
Babylon Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Leicester Mercury have pulled the headlines Should Leicester Sack Vardy form Newsnow web site. Wonder why. Because they are a bunch of utter cretins who only care about clicks on their advert riddled website, but someone there with a modicum of good sense noticed it was a new level of ****wittery and pulled it.
Guest MattP Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Always thought he was a bit of a cock but unfortunate to see proof of it. Shame as I absolutely love the guy on the pitch. We'll sweep this under the carpet though, this bloke is a valuable asset so expect some bullshit statement about how sorry he is and how we're now 'educating him' on some sort of diversity course.

Wymsey Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Seems another footballer that things he can say what he wants with the amount of money at his disposal.
Frank to be Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 I openly admit to being a cock. Finally a quote for my signature
Guest MattP Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 I'm actually not bothered about him using the word Jap, pretty mild insult really. You want to hear the language at the tables in Vegas. I find the aggression and willingness for a confrontation with someone on a casino floor the reason he looks like a cock.
MC Prussian Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Finally a quote for my signature It's surely better than "I openly admit to having a cock... in my garden".
