Not so much asking you as asking a rhetorical question.
Not sure speech community isn’t more of a linguistic categorisation than a racial one.

It's certainly not a racial categorisation. It's simply a description of a group of people who speak a common language - "the English speaking world" or "the Francophonic world" being but two examples.

 


Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

We, our, they...

I was born in this country mate, members of my family were brought over here to prop up the healthcare system, and to fight for this country in the war, I've paid tax for as long as I've been able to, it's as much mine as it is yours.

What it is that "they" used to say that "they" need to change, to do the same?

Aren't you living in Ibiza then?

Wouldn't know about Eminem using it, I don't listen to his music. But he shouldn't.

And no, that isn't the definition of racism. Treating someone differently because of the colour of their skin isn't racist, showing prejudice against someone for their skin colour, is.

I'd ask again for those asking "why can't I say it?", Why they would want to? It's a highly derogatory word used in the past to dehumanise black people and a discussion far more historically complex for discussion on a football forum.

There is a difference between the "-a" and "-er" variants

‘Treating someone differently because of their skin colour isn’t racist.’ You sure about that? If I said that I’d be hammered, and rightly so.

The word sounds the same finishing with either letters. How it’s written lyrics is a cop out.

Nothing you say makes sense, but you're deflecting your own racism. All I've done is question why a white person would want to use a derogatory term for a black person but the only answer I receive is "whataboutery".

Racism isn't treating someone differently because of race, it's being prejudiced against them because of their race. If for example, I went into a European barber shop, they'd send me across to another barber who could cut my hair. Not racist in the slightest but would be by your own, confused definition of racism.

Seriously? Using a barber shop example to justify something you’ve said which is illegal or breaks employment laws and things like that.

Insular world. My life has been far from insular.

So what about your life. How often have you been treated unequally? How often have you been insulted using 'racial slurs'?

I could write a list if you liked but would that make you think about things differently?

Has it wrecked your life or has it made you stronger?

I have always found that adversity has made me stronger.

Re-read what I said.
There is a big difference between treating someone differently and prejudice. I stumbled across a thread in here talking about Palace's first black player, is it racist to celebrate that? Because that would be treating someone differently because of their race, as per your and Stirling's definition. Definitely not illegal.

And yes, I have had the barber example happen to me. Took zero offence to it either.

Cool. Well madcap isn't my name and currently, I don't live in Ibiza. Unfortunately, I'm sat in my South Norwood flat, 2 mins from Holmesdale Road.
