Is This A Racist Comment From Nasty?

a fact that will likely occur
Seems legit

I like the idea that judging comments to be "rascist" [sic] is somehow racism...

In this case it should be blatantly obvious to those defending this that there's a difference between describing a baby as "mixed race" and "milk chocolate". The former is accurate, presumably (although a little bizarre to feel a need to even comment on it); the latter has obvious overtones of the whole "half caste" thing.

Or have we learned nothing from Harry Potter and the half-blood thing?

[Old_Geezer]

I think that is in the mind of the interpreter.

[Mamyalynne]

I just think it's proof that Dinosaurs aren't really extinct.

[youngmafbog]

Why is someone a Dinosaur because they express themselves differently to you?

I think this one is borderline. The big problem is there are too many people looking out to play the race card.

I wish the serially offended would stop being quite so precious over everything.

[Zacs-Master]

I'd really need an explanation as to why SW is claiming Nasty's speculation is racist. Racist to whom? For referring to black people's skin as 'chocolate' or white people's as 'milk'? Or neither?

[Mamyalynne]

Doesn't offend me, just one of those things that some people come out with that makes me sigh that's all.

It's not really anything new for Ilie is it?

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, it doesn't offend you, you say, but it affects you enough to insult those by whom the precious are offended.

[Khandro]

jno; When a baby is born of a different colour to the parents, it's (as we used to say in Manchester) time to change the milkman.

[Mamyalynne]

I have insulted someone?

Really.

[naomi24]

Mamyalynne, calling people 'dinosaurs' is hardly complimentary.

[Islay]

Oh Naomi stopped being offended on behalf of people all the time!
Mamya is correct but it has obviously rattled your bones a bit!!

[Mamyalynne]

If that's an insult and seems to have offended - I shall retract and rephrase.

" I do feel Mr Nastase's ideas are a little outdated and he should perhaps give a touch more thought to comments he makes."

Serena on the other hand should brush it aside with the disdain it deserves.

[Zacs-Master]

Certain amount of concatenation going on in this thread

[Mamyalynne]

I don't have a cat.

[Berniecuddles2]

great answer from jj 119 "The people that think it is rascist are rascists themselves" never a truer word said!

[jim360]

I do think you should be a little more careful with choice of words, perhaps, Mamy -- there's recent palaeontological evidence to suggest that various dinosaurs in the raptor family were perfectly capable of living together between different species without going off on one. T-Rex was a little backward I'll admit but even then it knew to keep its racism to itself.

[Mamyalynne]

Flounce !!!

[Zacs-Master]

Me neither Mamya but if I did it would be called Schrodinger. I would then be Schrodinger's Human.
