What a load of bollocks

Amazons warning

Tintin in the Congo reflects the colonial attitudes of that period in its depiction of African people. Herge himself admitted that he was influenced by the bourgeois, paternalistic stereotypes of the period. This is also true of the treatment of big-game hunting and the attitude towards animals. All copies of the book will be displayed with a belly-band advertising its content.

I realy miss the Gollywog (am I allowed to write that on here?) on the robbinsons jam jar.
I've got a gollywog & a gollywog badge
Suppose if I took them out in public I'd get stoned to death.



You know what I mean

I worked with a black Jamaican contractor, a real nice guy. He called his gollywog a gollywog and was pissed of with people being PC.

Negro is as close as you can get to a technically correct term for, er, negros, but I'm told this is now considered offensive. I'm even beginning to hear that the word Black is offensive too, if used by white people.

So where do we go from here? What exactly isn't offensive?

On a lighter note, how long before we are not allowed to say Krauts, Frogs, Dagoes, Polacks, Belgian Bastards, Paddies or Jocks?

I had Dambusters on in the background yesterday, on Channel 4, and they'd managed to snip every occurrence of the word 'nigger', for Guy Gibson's dog and even the code word for "dam breached", which they changed to 'dinghy'.

What a pathetic joke. Don't the morons realize that it wasn't meant to be insulting even then, and if anything would have been a useful indication of how attitudes have changed over the years? But no, the deceitful and patronising gits prefer to try and rewrite history. Oddly enough a version shown a couple of years ago, on Sky I think or maybe even the BBC, included all the 'nigger'.

Edit: Now I see even this forum replaces the dread word ('nigger') by asterisks! FFS!!
