i agree with you there lynch, to a point, i dont think jap is racist, no more than being called a Brit. go on call me a brit.. ohh noo please stop the racial slurs! :mellow: yet it isnt right to call someone from pakistan a paki, or someone from nigeria a nigger? An asian comedian was on TV the other day, she uses the word Paki, why? as she says "the more you use it the more you take it away from the racists" which is correct. Huggy bear and Richard Briar both used the word nigger proficly in their acts, they gave the same reason for doing so. im sick of not being able to fly the union jack or the st Georges cross in my country, WHY? because if you do you are branded a racist and a skin head etc. odd.. american streets are full of stars and stripes and nobody calls them all KKK members. When i was at school when i was about 13 the teachers would flip out if you called the board a "black board" because its rascist apparantly, bollox, its a black board, oddly because its black. they had no problem calling one of those pen board things a "white board" (until that is i kicked off and demanded it be called something else because 'white board' is a racial slur an i was deeply offended by it heheh ) Political correctness is a disease, kill it.
