Is the NSC username Gullywog racist?

[withdeanwombat]

Is it still the case that many Orstralians refer to germs as wogs ? I know there are board members out there somewhere,so update please.

 

[auschr]

I find it offensive because I am African

 

[Don Quixote]

I just call them niggers, saves a load of hassle.

 

[Commander]

Or Jigaboos

 

[ali jenkins]

Its not offensive, its well clever innit

 

[bhaexpress]

Seeing as that well know BNP supporter, Enid Blyton has been banned from all public libraries it must be.

I vaguely recall that although Wog is a racist term now at home.

 

[Gullywog]

i'd say NIGGULL is more racist than GULLYWOG!!

I thought wog is what the aussies call the greeks.

Yeah, I thought that. There was a film called Wogboy about Greek-Australian's I remember seeing over there.

For the record, as an Ireland born national, I have no problem with being called Paddy. Although I wouldn't stand for anyone calling my Nigerian born friend a lot of things. He jokes about it a lot, but being brought up in Sussex by adoptive white parents, I don't blame him for using humour to defuse the racism he encountered.

In this strange PC World I have, this very week, suffered the accusation of being called a racist.

1st thing last Monday I was called in and handed a brown envelope and told an allergation had been made against me but it was a full 30 hours and 2 requests from the Union before I was told what the 'incident' was.

It turned out that it was a note I put on a record where, in a light hearted way, I used lyrics from various Tom Jones songs (why, why, why - Just couldn't take anymore etc) in regards to a Welsh person.

Some 6 months later another Welsh person, a fellow employee but in a Welsh office has complained of racism.

If they were really offended then I am sorry but you have to wonder if they are in the right job. I'm minded to wonder if it's more a spurous allergation which has caused me far more distress with the way our organisation deals with these things.

My friends and colleages all support & back me and I doubt there will be more than a possible wrist slapping but so many people have spent so much time on this and there's bound to be a lot of bad feeling between management & staff locally.

One's black, one's brown and one's golden. I thought it might be 'funny' in a sort of 'oh-my-gosh', post-modernist ironic way to have called the black one '******' in honour of Guy Gibson's dog, but out of deference to our black next-door-neighbours (and with a nod to modern cultural niceties) we called him Murphy instead.

What about if you had an Irish neighbours?

I don't have Muslim neighbours and if I do there's no way I am going to rename Mohammed (that's my pet pig by the way).

 

[Questions]

Yes - good decision - standing outside your back door shouting "******" probably would not make your neighbours feel very comfortable.

Especially if she was just hanging out the white pillow cases and throwing a washing line over the tree.

[Super Steve Earle]

No it's not racist and neither am I, but the word just brought tears of laughter to my eyes. Very clever.

 

[Sam]

I am still feeling the pain of having my name changed from Sambo to Sam. And yes Safeway it was a "right old hoo har"!

Jeez did you really have to change it? f***'s sake, you don't have to be a paid-up member of the BNP to think that's a little bit 'political correctness gone mad."'

Let's see:
Sambo - Diminutive of Samuel
Sambo - Midlands term for a sandwich
Sambo - Derogatory term for a person of colour

Only one of those is racist; surely the most dull-witted fucktard could have seen that? Don't bother replying to that anybody as I already know the answer. Probably the same person who complained to Coun. Duncan that the 'White Light' festival wasn't 'inclusive' enough.
