    No thread ends well. If it was going well, it wouldn't end.

    How dare you not be offended!

    Gender isn't mentioned once in the article.

    What's your game, op?!

    Another misleading title with inevitable headache thread, check...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,689 ✭✭✭Tombi!


    That article is pretty bad, tbh.

    I liked how it started with 20% of racial abuse are caused by children and then ends up with "btw 1/4 was discrimination".

    And define "children" for me.
    Is it anyone under 18 or what?

    Actually, the whole racism thing is getting kinda boring. Maybe we should all take a break and discuss it again in a few months or something.

    Not that it is boring but threads are starting to be made for no other purpose than to stir things up a bit and not take it seriously.

    BTW, just a heads up: some travellers were knocking at the door, one of them trying to sell stuff.
    No doubt they're just around to see what places they can break into.

    Oh and btw, I heard your missus was on the dole, didn't know you'd be interested in that kinda low-down woman.

    Now it's a good AH thread.

    Yeah but the alternatives...abortion, gay marriage, the IRA, Christians vs Atheists? There hasn't been abortion in a while actually that might be fun.

    Or we could just pick a random word and all argue about that.

    The poor statistical data behind this both in terms of the perpetrators and the victims indicates that the majority of this data comes from self-reporting. Which may be worse than having no data at all. This could be data collected from a small number of cranks making up or escalating incidents, and most likely only captures a section of reports; most would go completely unreported.

    In effect, the data is meaningless. If there were only 144 racist incidents across the entire country in a year - less than 3 per week - then we should be delighted with our high level of tolerance and low level of racism.

    Why do you always defend Jews and Nigerians when they're accused of cannibalism? Are you one of them?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    The use of the word "kiddies" is reserved almost exclusively to fiddlers of same.

    You're losing your touch, we're already having a go at the blacks from Nigeria.
    As for the Jews? they're controlling the media. I have a right to be offended!

    And what is meant by racial abuse? I'm certainly not denying it exists (like some people here do) but not everything that veers in the direction of stereotyping is racism or malicious at all.

    Hey! That's against the PC brigade rules that were just updated yesterday, we're coming to take you to the reeducation facilities now

    That's what's confusing me coupled in with the fact that if they're really stretching the limits, we could see something like a bunch of six year olds not wanting to play with the black kid because he's black.
    I mean it's wrong, obviously but it's defintely far different to going around insulting black people when you're an adult.
