Ow dear racist remarks on

There was a time that if someone called you a ‘canute’ that it would probably end up in a fight.

Nowadays even women are using it as a more mild insult.

Times change, the vernacular changes, insults change and we find new ones to provoke others.
 
Your nana might of. Tosser
How am I a tosser like I’m just saying for years things like that in the northeast were normal without actually thinking it was offensive and it’s been passed down to generations it’s only now starting to die out as people realise , my wife’s black by the way so I’m immune

Never ever heard of that before
 
People in the north east, 50 years since people started the whole "let's try not to be racist" project, still struggling with what you can say to black people :lol:
Unreal mate the fact people have to think what’s ok and not ok to say,says it all
 
It was one of the worst insults at the time, not even commonly used over 10 years ago.
Good to know I will keep that in the back locker to bring out on our lass

Literally the least offensive type of racism going man. Other parts of the country have places where people of opposing ethnicity can't even go. The north east is spot on.
I’m not talking about crime rates mate I’m on about how the people actually speak

From Viz Letterbocks


"How come rap artist Dr. Dre can use the 'N' word on his multi-million selling albums and win a MOBO award, yet when I used it at my son's football match I was asked to leave the park? Once again, it's one law for the rich and another for the poor."

It makes me happy that you have a favourite type of racism

Not favourite, but it's not exactly Mississippi 1950.

The problem is that the terminology can change.

We would describe a kid as half caste in the 70s. Then it was recommended to use mixed race, now it’s dual heritage.

Explain that to an 80 year old from a pit village who first saw a non white person when they had a football trial at West Brom in 1955.

I don’t know like we are having a conversation with grown men about how to address a black person.

Yeah that’s exatly what I’m saying it’s an area where your nana used to call it the p@ki shop without actually knowing that was offensive, and obviously things like that get passed onto grand kids etc etc it’s getting better but still will take time for it to die out.
 
Have they had any complaints? All my black mates laugh their arses off when white people get all offended over shit like this. One of them particularly enjoys seeing how he can wind people up. He knows how petrified anyone is seen to be racist that he actively plays on it!
