Dave Whelan in more hot water

[bagpiperay]

He's an old bloke, man. They're all like that.

I don't suppose that's ageist?

Really want to start a thread but can't be arsed, prob banned for even asking but..... Why do Pakistanis take offence at being called a Paki?
(I get how all Asians are labelled under this being offensive)

How would you feel being labelled from Pakistan if you were from India?

 

[Monty's Double]

correct its not racist abuse its pc gone f***ing mad , every fucka and their granny jumps on every minuscule dropping t show their anti racist view !

Not the gammys .

Because it isn't a race. When the country was created it was just an acronym for Punjab Afghani,Kurdistan, Sindhi and Baluchistan. So it means the land of those peoples.

Just ridiculous tbh. I use Chinese all the time in relation to having a Chinese meal, its not racist just shortened. Like Brits for British and Turks for Turkish.

Chinese is hardly shorter than Chinese. Chin or Chins would be more apt.

 

[Coeus]

I say chinkie , paki , sausage roll , gypo etc

Just figures of speech

Nothing wrong with it

There kind of is something wrong with it. Its considered racist by modern society.

On another note, this does appear as the media are just setting up an old man. Seems a bit tasteless.

But he broke his leg in an FA cup final

Its used for the same meaning though, slang if you want.

As I point out in the Etihad thread, Dave Whelan fails to pass a 'fit and proper person' test yet the Man City owner gets away scot-free.

Surely this is racist against skirt wearing porridge gobblers?

 

[John Steed]

"Chingalings" for fucks sake.

Didn't Chuck Berry have a record out with that title?...... "I want you to play with my chingaling, my chingaling, my chingaling."

 

[Redan_White]

He's an old bloke, man. They're all like that.

Me Grandad in the 80's absolutely outraged that there was a black man walking down Tottenham Court Road was nice as pie to me best mate in Darlington who was black mind, mind he was Welsh!

That may be the case but unfortunately you're an idiot.

 

[James]

That may be the case but unfortunately you're an idiot.

It's an awful phrase, it shortens nothing either.

 

[Sebasaurus II]

It's an awful phrase, it shortens nothing either.

I meant the fact that he uses it may be the case. I'm not defending him ffs.

Anar that man!

So if someone was introduced to your wife/sister/mother and they said 'oh you're a split arse' then'. You'd be fine with that?

"Asked by the Jewish Telegraph whether he himself had ever used the term, he replied: "When I was growing up we used to call the Chinese [restaurant] 'chingalings'.
"We weren't being disrespectful. We used to say: 'We're going to eat in 'chingalings'."

He was quoted as calling Chinese people "chinks" last month too.

Wow, big deal........... Er....... Not.

 

[Right Brainless]

Next time someone calls me a white soab I'm going to call the police and say I've been racially abused.

You need to leave your home to do either of those things

 

[Bangkok Blackcat]

Generally I do agree that these words are PC gone mad, but if this PC nonsense encourages people to think before they speak, it's not all bad.

The next step is to encourage the PC brigade to put things in context before they get on their high horse.
