    This x1000.

    Went out with a lad I used to work with and still friends with for a few drinks on Friday night, he bumped into someone that works in our company that I didnt know so introduced us. The guy did nothing but talk shop, not even stuff about the company/team/department but his actual day to day stuff. He couldn't switch off. We gave him the "no more shop talk" warning twice, then eventually said we were heading home.

    Two people I used to work with, in particular, are terrible for it. I left that job a while back and still all they talk to me about is work.

    The toss pots who go around with the travel mugs of coffee everywhere. You would swear it was their source of oxygen.

    Worse still are coffee snobs. The sort who can only drink coffee that was farmed in some jungle and washed with childs tears.

    Total ****.

    On the other hand, if someone dislikes it and finds it a bit self indulgent, sure who does that hurt either?

    Fair point.

    Occasional shop talk is fine. It usually fizzles out early in the night.

    I hate the people who get really aggressive and interrupt shop talk conversations by shouting "STOP TALKING ABOUT WORK".

    People who only condemn racism, sexism, homophobia etc if the person being objectionable is white and middle class.

    And ? That would be lazy or xenophobic. Race is used as a stick incorrectly most of the time.


    To me that would donate warning signs. :pac:

    Why is xenophobic good but racist bad?

    And it's not 'xenophobic' to be prejudiced against one specific group of people.

    Xenophobia is a more generalised dislike of people from different countries.

    Firstly, there is only no such thing as biological 'race' We are all one species, all one race and that's the human race. Black people Brown People, White people etc, are all the same

    Racism is a prejudice against an ethnic group and this is a social construct, not a biological one.

    The offending post that started all of this was someone saying they specifically disliked white south Africans. This is a distinct racial/ethnic group

    This is exactly the reason why "Racism" has lost all meaning.

    In fairness, sometimes you do forget that it's even there. Or, you know it's there but you simply don't care what anyone else thinks about you wearing it. I highly doubt that it's really ever done on purpose to "show off." Although I'm sure there are some **** who do that, but not most people.


    I get it that people forget but when its dangling outside your top on a Friday evening in a bar, lets face it, those "****" know its there.......

    People who apply the label "racist" to any old thing, thus completely devaluing the word.
