Re: Racism
If I was aiming to be impartial about this. . .I'd say you're getting your own back Abbey.
Accusations of racism relating to one member ... so we get ..
A Member bashing thread..
Seems to me to be a case of quits now.
I can't wait until Malcolm see this.
I'll dive for cover now.

Re: Racism
I'm not getting my own back or I would be equally offensive . I am asking a genuine question , I have reported these comments and it seems they are ok . So now I am asking everyone are they ok ?Maybe it is ok to make these comments all the time ? Maybe I am completely out of step with what's right and what's wrong ?
Maybe Scottish people are not welcome here ?
Just asking the question really .

Do you mean that sort of comment ?
Technically speaking ... when Malcolm said ... I just don't like 'em' ... did he mean he doesn't like all things Scottish? Or Scottish people?
Can we not rig up a lie detector test thingy to Malcolm's keyboard? Low voltage of course .. we wouldn't want him to get electrocuted or anything.

Re: Racism
No it's not okay in any shape or form. I found a very good quote that fits this perfectly"When people judge another you do not define them you define yourself" Wayne Dyer.
It's not about Scotland - it's about Malcolm . If it's any consolation he hates fat people too - constantly banging on about them too. I feel sorry for Robbie Coltrane. Actually I seem to recall he is also very denigrating about women - very denigrating.
I suspect he might have been bullied at school by a female Scottish roly poly - do you think? I'm laughing at my own joke here.
Racism although intolerable in most civil society, seems to be accepted on here - just go onto some of the Islam/Muslim threads it'll make your hair curl.

This includes
The way Scottish people speak . With handy clips of fictional characters speaking the sort of way that I have never heard in all my whole life in Scotland .
There are criticisms of Scottish food
Music
Drinks
And then he says basically that he hates everything about Scotland .
I have said before this is racism but it seems that it's ok .
I'm pretty sure if I was continually saying these sort of things about African people or Chinese people for example that it would not be tolerated for one minute .
So just wondering really if everyone else thinks it's ok ?
