Another UKIP rascist remark

[sir albion]

I have spent time in france and am aware that they call - or at least used to call - is les rosbifs, after our national dish. I do not find that offensive, and appreciate it is funny.

But that is probably not a very good example. If someone is likely to be offended, it should not be used.

And when you say it may be a generational thing, how old are you? I turned 61 last month, so am not in the first flush of youth myself.

In the modern era no word is bloody acceptable it seem's!!!
Im 41 and saying things like "off to the chinky"is still used by me and many more....I would suspect 99% of Chinese people who own the chinkys,don't have a problem with it as its been common for generation's.
All this political correctness rubbish is getting beyond a joke to be fair....Where do you draw the line?

Why should british people be forced into being cultural?
Its all one way traffic isn't it?

I respect your views and opinions though

On behalf of every pussy cat in the country, I am deeply offended by that remark

I've got a fluffy pussy too

I'd draw the line at saying that because that is in fact racist

Roast Beef lol

Surely that should now be the Tandoori Chicken Tikkas?

What is? "Off to the chinky"?

These guys should latch on to the story. Might be good for business.

I know Chinese/Malaysian people and I'm pretty sure they'd find the term chinky offensive and I'd feel uncomfortable if I heard it. It seems the Asian population are still fair game to imitate and make fun of even by "top" comedians these days

So just out of interest, if a ref found being called a w**nker by the crowd offensive should it be stopped ?

Who gives a ****? Too many people get in a pickle over nothing these days.

When you say pickle - you mean chutney don't you ? As in chutney ferret.

Homophobe.

Being a wanker isn't defined by a race though is it!?

I like the fact that the quoted person who found the remark 'offensive' is the womans UKIP supporting husband....... but for the usual suspects...its PC gone mad.

I think so idiots, in fact a lot of idiots need to understand what a racist actually is.

Calling the chinesse shop the chinky, is not a racist comment. It's a short term for the chinesse takeaway.

Racist : Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior:

Don't really see how using the word chinky is racist...... oh what, you are quoting it as a fact........... taking of pussies is a **** a race of people?

Its not making fun of them though is it?
I really like Chinese people and who wouldn't ?
To me its not bloody racist....chinky=Chinese takeway,Its that bloody simple.

Ity=italian takeway

The year I spent in Oz I lost count how many times I was called a whinging Pom - was I offended ? No. Some people need to stop being offended on other peoples behalf. I'd be interested if the lady in question was offended - I bet she wasn't.

Ah, I see, it's OK to offend people just as long as it isn't about race. Got you

I am from south-east Asia and I find the term derogatory and racist. I got called it many times at school in the 1980's. It's sad that some people who still use the word haven't moved on.

Our british humor is renown world wide...we have a sense of humor that no other country can match.

True, but it's slowly, or rather quite quickly being chipped away at.
How many times (unless you are a certain easily offended religion) is the person/s etc that is meant to be the one/s offended are not, only for those who have not been offended but feel offended on behalf of those that have not been offended.

The person who was quoted as being 'offended', was the womans UKIP supporting husband, resulting in four pages of NSC's usuals, blaming the 'PC Brigade'.
