But Pommie ******* is fine. Are you for real? Do you know the historical difference between P*ki and Pommie? There’s a very good reason why one is swear filtered on here and one isn’t. Would you think calling someone the N word is ‘fine’ too?

Right OK, you wouldn’t call someone a sp*stic, a d*wny or anything like that these days either would you? Because that’s not ‘banter’ is it? It’s just horrible, nasty, bullying language.

You really just don’t get it to you? Has being called a Pom or any of the words he’s used ever systemically held you back in your life? This isn’t really about the words or language necessarily. It’s about attitudes and power. Calling someone a p*ki or a curry muncher is about putting someone in their place and making the recipient aware of where they fit in in the pecking order. You yourself have had one horrible racially motivated incident and it’s scarred you for life. Why are you so belittling of others that have faced it day in day out? To say that non whites are held back in this country is a lie or said from ignorance. You have been told before but you aren't interested. The highest earning racial group in Britain are Indians.....I think Jews are amongst the highest everywhere. There are names for all groups. If being called names held people back from achieving that wouldn't be true. This cricketer wasn't held back at all....in fact I think Asian cricketers are given a step up....certainly I think Ali was wrongly identified as a test player and given far more chances than others I can think of. Yeah, I could have lost my life back as a teenager. However, it didn't change how I thought about this stuff. I always knew that different groups had preference....My conversion was in response to the kind of anti white working class stuff that I hear everyday now....and that's mainly from Guardian reading middle class whites who fetishize minorities and wouldn't know the reality of being a white teenager in 80s Brixton if it bit them in the arse.

Again your loose grasp of statistical understanding holds you back here. On what measure are ‘Indians’ the highest earning. And ‘Jews’ ‘highest everywhere’? On what measure is this? What metrics are you using? I am interested and I haven’t seen anything you’ve ever stated that ever offers anything that delivers backed up evidence.

Yes it is but sledging isn't generally banter. Sometimes there are genuine jokes but often comments are meant to be as hurtful and off-putting as possible.

The people who earn the most are from those groups. If this was a racist society then that wouldn't be allowed to happen. Tell me Dan, why would a 'racist' society allow that to happen. It's not allowed to happen in pakistan for example. A 'racist' society wouldn't care about what context it was....it wouldn't be allowed to happen in any. I've shown statistics related to these in the past....I'm not going to do it again and again....Do your own research. Whites are not the top racial earners.

This wasn’t stuff said in the heat of the moment though was it? There’s a great moment where Joe Root called out one of the West Indies bowlers for using homophobic language not that long ago between deliveries. It takes bigger balls to stand up for it than it does to try and intimidate someone with it.

Edited by Stirlingsays (18 Nov 2021 12.29am) So the highest earners in the U.K. are non-whites? At least show your workings here. Because it’s fundamentally bollocks. Median/mode earnings are higher for some ethnic groups than others? I need to know where you’re making this claim from. The U.K. is not a racist society but it has some deeply racist pockets. Mainly from people who are scared that life is changing beyond comprehension from what they once knew and have been left in the past.

Man, it blows the mind it really does.....I mean I don't get offended by the fact Stormzy speaks the truth when he says 'I'm not anti white, I'm just pro black', because he's talking human nature....but I do get offended when whites tell me that different rules have to exist now because some elites did something they didn't like hundreds of years ago. They are far more racist than I could ever be. Edited by Stirlingsays (18 Nov 2021 12.38am)
