It's clearly racist. If you don't see how it is racist, you'll probably never understand so there's no point explaining it to them.

There could always be an element of something getting lost in translation, so I am not certain any intention was intended. The Chinese do have a habit of being matter of fact about things. A case in point, and my favourite UK to Chinese name change, is the Full Monty movie. The title wouldn't be understood in China so they called it "Six Naked Pigs" instead.

Saying man is generally stronger than woman is sexist, it's still a fact.

It all depends on how it's phrased and what the implications are.

But saying males are stronger than females isn't sexist.

What about employing a male over a female due to the physical demands of the job ?

If you advertised for a man specifically for that reason it would both be sexist and discrimination.

If you interviewed both a man and a woman and the guy was more suited to the role it wouldn't be.

If you switch your television to channel 4 tonight, you will see many disabled women who are probably more physically capable than any man on this site.


I'm surprised how all this isn't obvious.

Not really fussed, I take people on face value regardless but at the same time I'm not going to get offended on someone else's behalf, it's pretty obvious that the black community in london have a problem within themselves with youth and gangs, the met even have a police department dedicated to it. Chinese tourists get advice to stay out of certain areas for fear of street robberies, justifiably in my eyes and now they want to play the victim and pull out the rasicm card. They should put more energy into addressing the problem within their own community.

It is racist, by definition. However, the context of what is being said, about whom, and who holds the power in such a scenario is stripped away if we look at things from a purely 'black and white' (no pun intended) perspective.

Wow. That is NOT racist by definition. I think schools should implement a mandatory racism education course and stop this bulls*** once and for all

Nope. It's good advice imo.

I once got carded here for asking ''Is anyone surprised that the culprit was black?'' in relation to a stabbing incident. Considering that the majority of stabbings appear to be carried out by ''non-whites'' i felt that a card was a bit OTT.

It's good advice.

The only problem with your post is that it has no relation to the truth. At all. If it does please share the statistics and the source.

If you can't do that you are a racist.

If you're politically correct, yes.

Everyone goes on about stuff being "Politically correct" but I have never heard anyone tell me want it is, other than stuff people who read the Daily Mail, Daily Express, the Telegraph or who look at the pictures in the Sun don't like.

As you have an idea please enlighten me.

Thanks.

It is true and here are 'the stats':

1. I received 1 yellow card.
2. It came from the mods.

Happy now?

And you keep "Going on" about how everyone that doesn't agree with your opinions must have been brainwashed by the right wing media.

Surprise, surprise.... your latest post going on about the Mail, Express, Telegraph and Sun.

Bore off Bill... change the record... get a life... FFS
