Liberalized society gone wrong. This mentality of "Racism" this and "Racism" that has got to stop. Unless you actually intentionally insult someone for their colour of skin or genetics it should not be regarded as racism.
Racism is a word aimed at white people constantly and these days for no actual basis. Essentially it's an anti-white word, just like nigger is for black people or spook for Asians. Those that find a point to call someone a racist are true racists themselves as most people look past the color of someones skin and treat each other as human beings.
thanks JERKemy JERKson
i passed out because of pure ANGER AND RAGE because you said that!
AGGGGH

But you cant say that because that's just your white privilege talking or something idk. Blame the fucking producers for actually putting it in the show.

Yeah especially since I'm orignally Asian. I'm such SLOPE SUPREMACIST MOTHERFUCKER
[QUOTE=NoDachi;44622354]if you don't know what the word means maybe you shouldn't be using it
and I find it very hard to believe a really old conservative jingoist never knew the word slope was a slur.
I'm sure he's watched Full Metal Jacket or something[/QUOTE]
I'm quite certain that most of us think of 'slope' as a word to describe an incline/decline instead of a slur against an Asian person. Now, I've heard "slope[B]head[/B]" as a term in a Carlin skit or something, but I was not aware that "slope" itself could be a slur as well.
[QUOTE=Pr0fane;44622436]Jeez... why are some people so obsessed with being politically correct.
It was a wordjoke, no big deal.
Here in the Netherlands we call our Asian friend [B]"Chinky"[/B], our black friend [B]"Blackass[/B]" and my friends brother who has downsyndrome frequently refers to himself as [B]"Downie"[/B]. And they all laugh about it, all three are seriously good friends of mine.
As long as it's said jokingly, then why the hell is it a problem? The guys here call eachother all sorts of potentially really offensive stuff and we all take it lightheartedly?
I have a friend who's going bald age 23, and he's really vain and it's the worst thing that has happened to him as of yet, but we tease him with it all the time and he laughs. I wear glasses, and my exgirlfriend tried to get pregnant from me without my knowing or consent aged 18 and after I found out a really dramatic breakup ensued, and I get ripped on for both.
But, if we're in a fight, or if we have an argument we wouldn't bring any of the above up to the person in question, because then it's obviously ment to deeply offend or insult someone.
[B]The keyword here is context. Grow a thicker skin.[/B][/QUOTE]
okay? you're forgetting your keyword though in this absolutely pointless comment
your context is a closeknit group of friends. great. good for you. you have friends of different backgrounds and you have a derogatory sense of humour. that's great. everyone has that
jeremy clarkson wasn't talking to his bffl the gook though was he? that's the context. clarkson was on a tax-payer-funded tv show talking to the nation and the rest of the world using racial slurs. yeh maybe 99% of people weren't offended. i wasn't offended. i wasn't even watching the show because i find that man and richard the hamster hammond insufferable. but that isn't the point
the point is that for a large swath of stupid teenagers and a generation of bigoted sunday times readers, clarkson is a bastion of hope, a spiritual leader in this "looney liberal lefty" world we live in where, shock horror, some people want to try and get away from out-of-context racial slurs and stereotyped bigotry. clarkson is the kind of person who keeps backward thinking alive by being a prime-time slot for saying "it's okay to stereotype people and be racist as long as you say 'it's a joke it isn't hurting anyone' afterward". but it does hurt people. collectively it's terrible and it's the reason 'lad culture' and shit like that still exists
he's one tiny, but admittedly very loud, thorn, and honestly i'd wish he'd die and i hope his kids get terminally ill
but not really that was just a joke like on top gear

clarkson once made a joke about a child going blind and people said we shouldn't be offended because it's just a joke
Quick, shame it, shame it! Pelt it with rocks too!

i'm saying that clarkson is a person who constantly makes jokes at the expense of others. i'm making a joke at the expense of him and look how hilarious offended you are. it's incredible. i don't care about arguing the semantics of whether cancer is worse than racism or laughing at blind children because i'm not a boring spastic but if you want to completely miss the point some more and just argue the fine details to avoid the issue then be my guest i guess

It's almost certainly exactly what he intended too
"Gee willickers seems like old man Clarkson has gone and said another wacky racist thing tune in next week to Top Gear to hear his opinion on Native Americans!"
My previous comment, with supporting picture still stands; the bridge clearly had an incline to it.

Damnit Clarkson, why couldn't you just keep on totalling Reliant Robins in Tamworth?
I'll have to add this to the growing list of "words British people don't know are offensive" right next to "mong" and "paki."
I'm pretty sure people know paki is derogatory

[QUOTE=SHITBULLET;44622073]Am I blind or does the article not say that Clarkson admitted to referring to the asian guy? It's the producer apologizing about not knowing that slope is a racial slur in some places, nowhere is Clarkson being quoted directly[/QUOTE]
Not blind. Thread title is extremely inaccurate and Nodachi is being a little bitch about it.
