Dave Whelan in more hot water

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.
 
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)

Because it eventually escalated into primarily being used in a derogatory context, therefore offensive.

Spastic & mongol were once perfectly acceptable terms for people of certain disabilities. The same fate as above ensued.
 
Dinnar about all this like. Think a lot of it is just over sensitive adults. One of my lads best mates at school is Bangladeshi. He calls my lad "snowflake" and my lad calls him "chocolate". Suppose it's because that's what colour they resemble. They both think it's funny and not nasty at all.
 
By his own standards he's not racist. To those who realise he's an 80 year old fella he's not either, When talking to the London media by contemporary standards of course chink and chingaling is racist. And hilarious.

Poor bugger should keep his trap shut
 
A Chinese or Jewish man his age would very likely not be offended, my grandad had a Jamaican mate and the stuff they used to say to each other man :lol: you'd get prison time for it if you were on twitter.
 
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.
