Why is it any more offensive to tell a joke based on race?
( I know Scots, Irish, English are races but you get my point).
I've heard people say what's wrong with Paki, it's just a shortening of the name, like Brit. They forget the years of negative connotations associated with the word.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

A Muslim, a Jew, a fat ginger bloke, a black lesbian transsexual and Marky Dread walked into a pub. They behaved like reasonable adults and all had a nice time.Marky Dread wrote:Toady I am the victim and the joke.101Walterton wrote:When it comes to humour / jokes there is always a 'victim' the person who is made fun of whether it is a man, a woman, a fat guy, a Pom, an Irishman, a hipster, a Scotman, a nun, a ginger, an Essex girl etc.

Today the others rejected him for being an idiot. The landlord refused to serve him on the grounds that he might hurt himself.101Walterton wrote:A Muslim, a Jew, a fat ginger bloke, a black lesbian transsexual and Marky Dread walked into a pub.

Oh man, I got in trouble with my friend's parents (Pakistani/English) for dropping that awhile back. I had only heard another Pakistani friend use it lightheartedly before and was totally unaware of the historical connotation in England. They were understanding, but man did I feel like an ass.Heston wrote:Historical baggage?101Walterton wrote:When it comes to humour / jokes there is always a 'victim' the person who is made fun of whether it is a man, a woman, a fat guy, a Pom, an Irishman, a hipster, a Scotman, a nun, a ginger, an Essex girl etc.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Paki is still in common usage in cricket and is the name used for the Pakistani team even by commentators. It does jar when you hear it.matedog wrote:Oh man, I got in trouble with my friend's parents (Pakistani/English) for dropping that awhile back.

Is what like? Are you referring to the feeling you have after Trump winning the presidency? If so mate I don't think they are comparable.Rat Patrol wrote:So, Limeys...is this what it's like when you Brexit?
