Im not, you?

One Cold Hand · 10-11-2008 07:05AM

I hate culchies. And people from Cork. And Munster supporters.

Xavi6 · 10-11-2008 07:07AM

I believe that everybody is or has been 'racist' in some shape or form. Whether it's burning lower case letter t's in your front garden or calling someone a Polish-whatever under your breath, everyone has done it, or at least thought it.

There are obvioulsy different levels or racism and lines that shouldn't be crossed.

javaboy · 10-11-2008 08:05AM

Is this yet another KKK recruitment drive?

NO I AM NOT A RACIST! And for the last time I'm not joining your bloody pointy hat social club.

Jaysus, you sign up on Fairs Day on a drunken bet 6 years ago and they never leave you alone. :mad:

Pfft. If you're not aborigine, you're a blow in. :pac:

Overheal · 10-11-2008 08:56AM

No. Its fun though, because my dad is, even though he pretends he isnt. So the conversation would be like Now you know Im not racist but all those ________ are ****ing stupid bla bla bla. Insert Racist-Quip/Joke Here.

Plug · 10-11-2008 08:58AM

I'm a nationalist but everyone seems to call me a racist!

Do you pronounce Saturday as Satday or Saturday?

EDIT: Where is my thank button gone? No more thanks from/to gummy?

Youre not off to a good start when you discriminate against yourself by using a label.

I guess Racism is really only relative to your Point of View

Normally I'd agree here and say that anyone who starts a sentence with "Now I'm not racist but...." usually follows it up with some vile hate speech but........

isn't it possible that they're right the odd time? I mean wouldn't the joke be on us if ALL the <insert nationality> really were <insert stereotype>?

The same way any other person with a Dublin accent pronounces it.

You only get a certain amount a day. You probably used them all.

haha good.

My brother in-law is from Victoria and seems to pronounce it Satday. I thought it was his strange quirk till i went there and others did too.

Though they seemed to think Irish people saying thirty is hilarious

Lirange · 10-11-2008 11:01AM

Yes I race for a living.

It's hard graft.

m@cc@ · 10-11-2008 11:14AM

Racism is such a complex thing. By definition, recognising any difference in another human being and treating them differently as a result is racism, be it positive or negative. I don't think any person can truly consider themselves 100% not racist.

Ass · 10-11-2008 11:16AM

Yeah, I am. I hate travellers. No exceptions.

seamus · 10-11-2008 11:17AM

I have my prejudices, we all do. However, I don't let it affect how I deal with someone on an individual basis, whatever their creed/etc

Are you racist?
