When your friends say racist/homophobic/sexist shit

[Mason]

lol if it just about language what if your white and all your friends are black and all call each other N's all the time, do you call them out for being racist?

You can read the thread title right?

Yes, being able to read is a talent of mine.

One of my grandparents complains when he sees "nig nogs on every channel" on TV.

I dont say a word

[gwa]

nah that's the one thing i always cut conversation straight away, although there has been a few times when I've withheld due to various reasons.

i do indulge in a bit of joking misogyny now and again though (although you will know when i'm taking the piss, infact it's more out of irony than anything. a select few people genuinly struggle to grasp my humour) and i don't give a shit!

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

Depends what it is. my mom lives in a small country town & some of the people i've met there are so racist, but also so oblivious to it

For some reason they think everyone who isn't white is from pakistan & that calling them a 'pakki' is fine & not at all offensive

I've tried to explain it many times but they don't get it, and it does really piss me off

Think they just believe what their dumb fuck parents tell them about other nationalities taking over england & then pass unfair judgement

But then with my good friends i think as long as it's a joke & the other person can take it i think it's fine, like i call alot of my black friends n*gga & they call me white chocolate

Same right, I HATE the word Paki. So many people say it as if its nothing, it makes my physically tense up ahaha.

[gwa]

what irks me is when people use the term to describe any middle eastern race.

like its not hard to differentiate between your sri lankans and your indians.

[cryptical]

asians have started saying Paki too now, and it's not like N*gger where almost everyone knew beforehand that it was an offensive thing to say, many young non-pakistani people dont know that those very people they learnt it off will take offense to the word from them l0l

I have always wondered why 'paki' is so offensive, i mean no one really hesitates calling a Polish person a pole, a British person a Brit or an Australian an Aussie. Is there more to 'paki' than it being an abbreviation or is it just that its been used in a derogatory way and has now got offensive connotations? Obviously i'm not saying people shouldn't be offended by it i'm just curious.

You answered your own question. The same reason any word is offensive

Because its use in the UK was popularised by racists who used the same term to refer to Pakistanis as they did Indians, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, Nepalese and all sorts of other brown-skinned people. Given that during most of my life India and Pakistan have been in a state of cold war, I can imagine why it might be a bit offensive for people to go around not bothering to find out the differences between them.

[dickman69]

"im going to the shop"

"which 1"

"the.. umm... paki shop"

actually it is Pakistani owned hence me saying Pakistani owned
and yea it is to differentiate since nobody actually knows the names of the shops

lol ''nig nogs'' that sounds so comical compared to the ''n'' word.

i had a falling out with my own dad for some views he harbored that i disagreed with. of course he grew up in 1950's mississippi, and if anyone knows anything about american history, this state is the leading offender for hardcore racism to this day. so he's always had a huge distaste for as he says ''the white man.'' oh, and here comes lil LACE with a pasty white boyfriend

he's come around but it took years of not talking to each other..

Some fucking ape at work is happy to use this word and moans about them all the time. He's also one of those "I'm not a racist but..." types.
Can't fucking stand him.

[dickman69]

if i was hanging out with boy who happened to be black i wouldn't address him as my black friend.
