Chinese couple walk past man singing Kung Fu Fighting, man arrested - Polidicks

No freedom of speech.

Well okay, you have a point. The arrest was bullshit.

Wait, you can be arrested in England for saying racist things?

[QUOTE=Explosions;29538319]Wait, you can be arrested in England for saying racist things?[/QUOTE] not really someone has to go really far to get anyone arrested for anything yelling paki cunt like all the chavs do won't get you arrested

[QUOTE=thisispain;29539315]not really someone has to go really far to get anyone arrested for anything yelling paki cunt like all the chavs do won't get you arrested[/QUOTE] Then why was he arrested for singing...

[QUOTE=dogmachines;29539382]Then why was he arrested for singing...[/QUOTE] someone has to really push for any action to be taken which is what the article says as well bullshit laws but like most laws no-one really enforces them technically dance music is also banned in england, but you can play it just fine

[QUOTE=dogmachines;29539382]Then why was he arrested for singing...[/QUOTE] there was probably more to the incident than this article felt it necessary to report [editline]30th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=The mouse;29528286]The fact that we differentiate between races is the reason racism exsists, if we called everyone a person rather than define them by their physical traits, the world would be a much better place.[/QUOTE] nope. not everyone will go for that. by ignoring race you'll just become blind to the genuine acts of racism by people who refuse to play along with your 'ignore race' idea as well as to the institutional racism which absolutely still pervades our society

basically if you get all hot and bothered over political correctness they will sell more newspapers so that's really what they'll ever feel like reporting

[QUOTE=Explosions;29528743]People look different and that's a fact. You just have to get used to it. Racism will never go away.[/QUOTE] nope 2.0 racism isn't naturally-occurring. it's a product of society and the environment and it is most definitely perpetuated by people with ulterior motives. if people are raised together and live together as true equals under the law as well as in their interactions with each other then they won't have any reason to hate each other

Bah the PC laws in the UK are a bit much. My dad got called Mr Miyagi once, while walking around San Francisco; we're not even Japanese. :saddowns:

what country is this and do they have free speech?

[QUOTE=Saren;29526252]I know that, thanks for pointing out something I already know. :smug:[/QUOTE] Smugly pretending that you knew you made a mistake doesn't make you look any less like a moron. At any rate I really hope there's more to this story than the article is giving us.

That's your opinion buddy. derp herp. I'm a pile of shit, that's more lower then a moron.

Ching chang chong

[QUOTE=Murkat;29526965]So if an American got into Canada and started singing about maple syrup, would that be illegal? Seriously this couple's logic is retarded.[/QUOTE] Not exactly, but... [quote]In Canada, advocating genocide or inciting hatred[10] against any 'identifiable group' is an indictable offence under the Criminal Code of Canada with maximum prison terms of two to fourteen years. An 'identifiable group' is defined as 'any section of the public distinguished by colour, race, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation.' It makes exceptions for cases of statements of truth, and subjects of public debate and religious doctrine. The landmark judicial decision on the constitutionality of this law was R. v. Keegstra (1990)[/quote] I'm not saying you could necessarily get away with Kung Fu fighting either, if Australians were in charge anyway :v:

"everybody was kung-fu fighting, dunununa nun nun na! those-" -"I TAKE THAT OFFENSIVELY, OFFICER, ARREST HIM" "Wait what"

ok! I go down to duh evfree bar who der sings kung-afu fightttting. We will troll dem so hard la

[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;29527655]I had a straight-out-of-china chinese exchange student last year and I asked him if he could give me a pen and he got up and started trying to fight me. Also, in english class we're reading [i]of mice and men[/i], and the teacher asked us about the character Lenny, to which I responded "he's retarded." Then me and the teacher got into a huge argument on the use of the word retarded and eventually ended up with me losing it and telling her to shove her political correctness up her ass because retarded is a fucking word and I can use it whenever the fuck I want to.[/QUOTE] :allears: u so cool

[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;29537967]No freedom of speech.[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHwegwXwwHs&feature=channel_video_title[/media] It was stupid, but we still are very free.

[QUOTE=Kim_Jong_il;29534986]Remove that XD now[/QUOTE] No. You remove [i]your[/i] XD

[QUOTE=SoaringScout;29550259] Now I don't want to generalize any group of people, but I think white people get picked on the most.[/QUOTE] white people get picked on the most?

[QUOTE=SoaringScout;29550259] Now I don't want to generalize any group of people, but I think white people get picked on the most.[/QUOTE] Gee, I wonder why that is?

So how is singing about kung fu, still a offense to Chinese? "Your under arrest for singing about something we mostly do to defend ourselves?"

I would be more offended by the fact that you think Karate and Kung Fu are one and the same, quite frankly.

[QUOTE=thisispain;29551819]white people get picked on the most?[/QUOTE] Yes. They're constantly portrayed as rich people who suck at all physical activities and can't be "cool" or "hip" in any way possible. The internet does have a lot of jokes about all other races though.

Perhaps white people are picked on the most because they have a very extensive history of oppressing non-whites. Just hazarding a guess.

[QUOTE=SoaringScout;29564714]Yes. They're constantly portrayed as rich people who suck at all physical activities and can't be "cool" or "hip" in any way possible. [/QUOTE] really so all the other races have it easy, it's the white people that are being oppressed?

[QUOTE=thisispain;29564958]really so all the other races have it easy, it's the white people that are being oppressed?[/QUOTE] Being picked on a lot isn't the same as being oppressed. It's not like I'm saying "everyone hates white people!" No, it's not even close to that and you pretty much just put words into my mouth.
