James. Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 Have we ever enslaved, exploited or kept down gingers as an inferior race or sub species? Judging by the quality of their posts in this thread we should probably consider it.
Saxondale Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 Have we ever enslaved, exploited or kept down gingers as an inferior race or sub species? I must have missed that. Mocking ginger people is akin to belittling the ugly or overweight, it isn't nice and probably shouldn't be encouraged but to compare it to overt racism is just pathetically childish and entirely missing the point of why the latter is such an enormous problem. But calling somebody 'chinky' because they have oriental looks is surely more akin to mocking somebody for being ginger than advocating the enslavement or exploitation of a racial group? By using ginger as a derogatory term, the implication of inferiority is the same.

I used to laugh at Gordon Strachan when he was at Coventry. They were inferior.

Houdini Logic Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 here you go , some of you might need this To be fair I could use a pair of sturdy boots like them
Zingari Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 To be fair I could use a pair of sturdy boots like them they're yours if you want them Bernie says he don't want them anymore
Walker Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 I can't help but think back to the summer when everyone was on their high horse about the state of the Bristol forum and its racist posters. I'm beginning to get the impression we aren't much better as a group. The volume of unapologetic posts defending the use of an incontrovertibly racist term is just embarrassing. No he doesn't but, as obviously tongue in cheek as he's being, he does need somebody to let him know he's somewhat out of touch. You're a bad son if you let him continue to go around thinking it's an ok term to use. Worth reading the thread for that word alone
Larry_LCFC Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! Give it a god damn rest! Frankly I couldnt care less about all this "PC" rubbish. If you wanna discuss it to death, go make a thread somewhere else. What was a good thread about our fans has been hijacked just because stu said "chink". Christ alimghty get over it and move on.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 Loved this year so far, I think us Leicester fans are building a little bit of a reputation long let that continue!!

The thread has long served it's purpose and has gone off topic because that's what conversations do, here and in person. You and one or two others crying over the fact the subject has changed are the only ones really 'moaning.' If a debate on race and prejudice is beyond your understanding or interest then don't partake, if you have something further to say about our following at Chelsea then do it but otherwise quit bitching about what everyone else is doing because nobody is forcing you to join in. Oh, and objecting to racial slurs is not "pc rubbish."

A debate about race and prejudice does not belong on a football forum, in the Leicester City section and in a topic about our fans vocal support. You wanna debate it, move across into general chat and debate it. There is a place and this isnt it!

Do you want to stop for a moment and look at what's upsetting you and consider how important it really is and why you're bothered? It's a thread on an internet forum, matey. Can you explain to me why, exactly, it's such a terrible thing that the purpose of this topic has evolved?

That veered off subject pretty quickly but that didn't upset you.
Larry_LCFC Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 B Do you want to stop for a moment and look at what's upsetting you and consider how important it really is and why you're bothered? It's a thread on an internet forum, matey. Can you explain to me why, exactly, it's such a terrible thing that the purpose of this topic has evolved? You really are quite obnoxious arent you. Is it not obvious that when people, myself included, come on to the Leicester City section, we come to read peoples opinions and views on the football team. I came on this topic when I got in from work to see whether new videos/ pictures had been added to be met with atleast 4 pages of people throwing their dummies out their pram over an innocent (maybe slightly naive) word. Frankly im not interested in that and I dont see why I should have to trawl through aload of off topic nonsense just to try and find any posts that are actually related to what I want to read about. Thats why there are different sections on this forum. Its not rocket science!
Larry_LCFC Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 Weren't you contributing to the Foxy Fangirls thread when it was in the City Forum?

The only things I posted in that were telling the perv that started it to stop being an idiot and get a life.

Larry_LCFC Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 Cool well next time you're bored have a read through this thread.... http://www.foxestalk...ge__hl__raghead Why? Im really not getting into the discussion about ragheads, chinks or anything else in here. Like I said before, this isnt the time or the place.Back on topic, if anyone has anymore videos or photos of our end, I would really like to see em!
Finnegan Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 same could be said for the reactions to the post that kicked it all off really. You want to know why I'm bothered that someone might think it's perfectly acceptable to call a person a chink?
The Year Of The Fox Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 Cool well next time you're bored have a read through this thread.... Am I supposed to be embarassed by this now? Cos im not! Another one commenting on a topic they have no knowledge about

Sounds from watching it on the tv and other videos that 'We love you@ was sang way to much. It was. It was pretty much the only song the lower tier behind the goal sang. Oh and the peter cech one which wasnt even funny
Petchy Posted 21 March 2012 Posted 21 March 2012 You want to know why I'm bothered that someone might think it's perfectly acceptable to call a person a chink? Then keep it to PM's between you, and the person who you took exception to or talk about it in the General section! Why is that so hard for you, and the others talking about this, to understand? This thread definitely needs a clean up as I want to see pictures / videos etc and not chatter about the term 'chink'. Moderators, where art thou?
