Originally posted by xoggoth View PostTend to agree, if people are riled they will deliberately say what offends. If an overweight person annoys you you might call them a fat bastard, doesn't mean you spend your time thinking about ways to get at fat people. Similarly, if people have black/whatever friends, it doesn't mean they do not have unjustiable predudices against a group as whole. The whole issue of racism is grossly oversimplified.

there's you little bit of attention, of you trot now.
He doesn't mean it.
But it does raise the question - does it disrespect real cretins? Just as calling someone a Spaz disrespects real spastics?

Originally posted by speling bee View PostPeople get very excited about definitions of racism: they behave like a **** over someone's nationality and then say, 'Aha! But that wasn't racist'. The real point is that racism is a sub-set of cuntishness and being a different type of **** doesn't make it all OK.

That a I call a black person a n***** deliberately to hurt them doesn't mean I hate black people, it just means I've found an exposed nerve. If the same person was Chinese I'd call them a C****, if they were gay I'd call them a fag, if they were overweight I'd call them fat, if they wore classes I'd call them 4-eyes, if they were bald I'd call them baldy/slaphead.
This defines the person as a bigot (I think that's the word) but not a racist.
