And is unacceptable 'nowadays' despite being unacceptable for literally centuries? And 'probably' 'chinky a racist term that has been used for decades? 'Jap' has also been a racist term for decades. How do folk not know this? He’s maybe old, that seems to be an acceptable excuse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I know the Falkirk fans have been licking each other's arses on here for a while but I always assumed it was just a joke, this is something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen a counter attack goal like that for years from Falkirk. It really was scintillating stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 A hearty "well done everyone" for dredging this gunk up. The sort of thread where everyone loses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not shocked at all to see you like this after you outed yourself as a sexist dinosaur the other week. Bit surprised by some others though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that with the upmost sincerity as there appears to be only 4 sane Falkirk fans on this entire forum. You will notice that I have neither said anything racist, nor have I defended racism anywhere in here. I only thought the Shadwell incident was worthy of a wider discussion about when someone is a racist and when someone has misguidedly used a word in ignorance. Racists are scum, truly one of the worst aspects of our society. Like any label of that magnitude, I tend to be careful before branding it. I will concede its difficult to have that discussion without seeming apologetic for it. I am not though, nor am I defending Shadwell. I would need to see the conversation to defend or condemn him I think. I was simply disagreeing with Gaz in that sometimes I think people can use words in ignorance, without being a person who is prejudiced against others due to their race. I also added the caveat that continued use of such words after education would mean that they were clearly racist. Think its a pretty reasoned arguement no? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that using words such as "Paki" can be excused due to people not knowing that they are racist. I counter that with saying that I believe there is not one person, that is not a child, who does not know that that is a racist word. Therefore, to use it is to be racist. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just discussion, thats what these boards are for. I can understand both sides of it and for me both are valid. For me to brand someone a racist, I need to believe that they have a problem with people based on their race. Thats not always the case when someone ignorantly blurts out a word. I say that because of personal experience. You are of course correct that as time goes on, it is harder and harder for anyone to get away with ignorance as an excuse. Like I said, I just dont see it as black and white as you do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it can be excused Gaz. But there is a difference between ignorance and racism and you are failing to recognise that here. It’s sad that ignorance still exists today in older communities from a time when some - now racist -terms were considered acceptable, but it’s still a fact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well aware there is a difference between ignorance and racism. I just don't believe that anyone can claim 'ignorance' over 'Paki' being a racist term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
