You f**king coloured (or black) tosser = Rasict
The coloured (or black) man that lives over the road = not racist

For me, calling some one a black tosser, is not racist (and would not take it as racist if I was called a white tosser)
However, saying "I hate black people" is racist

I wouldn't test that in court if I were you!

I know, It is seen as racist by our society, But IMO, it's not. Just the way that 'racism' has grown over the years, and become such a touchy subject, things are now considered racist, when in fact, they are not meant in such way.

I disagree, calling someone a black tosser in my view is racist. You are using the word in a hateful way. If you called someone a tosser it wouldn't be for fun would it, to throw the word black is makes it a racist attack.

Saying "I hate black people" is a completely different scenario. Gus is drawing attention to how we use the word in our different countries, but what you've said there is that you do not like a race of people because of their skin colour - thats racist.

If Gus was to use the term "black", in Spanish, what would he say? And how would this be interpreted in the UK press?

Exactly this. The UK has become a soft nanny state of overblown, over hyped media coverage. I would imagine if Gus slipped into Spanish mode over here it would be front page news.

Have you noticed that the media coverage is not based on our football or results at the moment its about Gus and his views, Media looking for a story.

In Gus we trust
 


some people need to get a grip before complaining.
Despite the fact that it only took three minutes before the first complaint was received, the thread was, by then, already in the process of being removed.

In normal circumstances, I'm inclined not to hurry to remove threads from NSC - because opinions that offend are often best dealt with by other posters rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck into a good argument. In this particular instance, though, the thread title and the accompanying post were so obviously in breach of the rules that there was no doubt whatsoever that the only appropriate action was to remove the thread.

Of course you would say that, I will give you an early Xmas present, well something that will make you happy I'm sure, apart from Spam, I guess we get more complaints about the drivel you post than any other individual, but as I say, sadly I think you will be proud about that!

Answer me one question please, do you actually know anyone from NSC, in real life I mean?
