It's the "Ye Olde Connaught Chronicle". A great paper and a lively read.

I'd just like it from the horses mouth, as it were. Otherwise I might get on, be told it "never happened" and then told somewhere else when I come back.

Maybe that was one I was involved in too.

I once referred to a 'Jap bike' on boards.ie and someone near took the head off me!.

Well, "jap" is widely considered an ethnic slur, so in that case, they were probably right to take the head off you.

I call bull**** on the OP's story, but if it is true, it's not indicative of anything besides a stupid person working at that newspaper.

Maybe in the forties in the USA with propaganda posters everywhere but not now

I wouldn't say my Honda is a Nip bike

But nothing wrong with Jap and anyway it's true, Jap bikes are the most reliable compared to Aprilla and the Italian brands
You would be upset if you went into the motorbike forum as the regulars in there have no issue with it

If the OP is being truthful it is a sad indictment of how absolutely ludicrous things have become in some areas. Personally, if someone had telephoned me with that attitude, I'd have asked for his/her boss.

.....sad indictment of the interview process for a job, I'd say. Though I can believe it within the realms of possibility that one person could be that stupid, I can't imagine that a group would put such a policy in place.

And I still haven't been PM'd the specific paper by the OP.

Yeah. I would hope that, as a society, we are above this BS. FFS, if something is black, well, it's.......black. Full stop.

It's not racism or anything like it. It is a descriptive colour.

downwithpeace · 02-03-2012 10:56PM

It's a colour, if this is real then the paper is going to have a hard time describing a lot of items. Sony new handheld console only available in...not white, tad darker.

For Sale: 1998 Honda 80, low mileage original paint work, interested parties will need to phone for colour info as paper considers it possibly raciest, yes that colour.

I put up a dog for rehoming on my rescue FB wall, it was a Yorkshire Terrier, caption read: *Yorkie Bitch, now available for rehoming* and yes, the PC brigade jumped down my throat which I thought really funny considering the actual meaning of the word. One American lady suggested calling her a *Lady Dog*... :rolleyes:

I BELIEVE THIS ANECDOTE WHOLEHEARTEDLY. IT HAS THE RING OF TRUTH.

I know it sounds insane (and probably is) but I have a regular in my pub who works serving food at a racecourse and she has been told if asked for pudding that she has to ask what type rather than black or white as black is "offensive". Some managers are really just idiots!

Nah we haven't. Those things about "person-hole" and "baa baa rainbow sheep" etc are untrue. They're just products of people who resent the fact that racism shouldn't be tolerated, so they make that sh1t up.

I've noticed when my toddler watches nursery rhymes on youtube most of them are things like "baa baa baa sheep" these days!

I just got a call from the local ragg asking me to reword my advert for an old moped I am selling on behalf of my mother.
The advert went basically" black Honda 80 for sale,runs well 1998 model original black paint work with low milage,all offers considered phone #########".
She informed me they are not able to print it with the word black so prevalent as it may offend and could I choose a different word or omit black.
I pulled the add and will stick it up on adverts but I would never have thought about an add for a moped being racist,this is getting ridiculous.

Another load of made up Bol***ks by an OP trying to stir up some controversey.
