Asked by the court to explain his actions the youth replied Possibly due to the bizarre way they split up the schools. Kids from Windygates went to my school, Kirkland despite Buckhaven being closer. Kids from Kennoway went to Buckhaven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you assume people from Peterhead would be racist? You'd think with your life experiences you wouldn't make statements like that. And it is racist as you are simply using it as an example of rural Scots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 My favourite put down of my friend who is mixed race after being asked for the umpteenth them where she comes from really and "how she got here" her reply "through a vagina" really shook the little Englander up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunfermline Don Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Did the ‘dead club’ not have a banner ‘we may be bigots, but we are not racists’ during the Mark Watters era? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think with your life experiences you wouldn't make statements like that. And it is racist as you are simply using it as an example of rural Scots. People of colour tend to stand out in rural and small town 99.9% white places everywhere, and get the "where are you really from" question more than in diverse cosmopolitan places. Norwich when I went to college there was about the whitest place I've ever lived, but had the BNP HQ in a local pub. Peterhead was maybe a bad example since we sent Alexandra Burke up there who probably taught them a few things. And seeing as most of the fishing jobs have been taken over by Filipinos since the local boys got a bit carried away with smack. I assume the white ratio has been preserved in the prison paedo wing though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Never seen it. 1 hour ago, Dunfermline Don said: Did the ‘dead club’ not have a banner ‘we may be bigots, but we are not racists’ during the Mark Watters era? Nope. Never seen it. I did see this absolute cracker on our very own forum just last week. Pretty chilling how we, Scotland's most Scottish club and, at the same time, Scotland's most international club, are dragged in to every pathetic diddy argument. You are obsessed with religion wrt our club and now, evidently, have a colour chart to assess the hue of our players. I said it on the Scotland's Shame thread but it bears repeating: Something is rotten in Knotty Ash.

throbber Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Should we just be more up front and ask people what their ethnicity is straight up rather than dance around the subject asking where they’re from etc? Would that make us less racist? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I explained to the Chinese girl behind the counter that I was living in London. She said in a broad Fife accent ‘aye there’s a lot of foreigners down there’. So she was Scottish, not Chinese then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcal Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Not historically a racist remark M77, but I appreciate how it causes confusion in a modern context and have refrained from using it for years. Im the same and doesnt really matter if it didnt begin with racist intentions imo. Its pathetic and needs to go.Anytime you try to have a sensible dicussion about how using the word black in derogatory terms is completely unnaceptable you get hundreds of yir da's calling you a snowflake. Its madness.No wonder oppistion fans are stunned when they hear ayr/killie/junior fans using that term. Its embarrassing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
