Oh I guess I'm just sensitive. I guess the killings of innocent Middle Easteners after 9/11 wasn't really done by racist morons. I guess the stories I've heard about the way Middle Easteners are still treated in this country are not true. I guess they are just being sensitive too. Well lets all stop being sensitive and just go around calling brown people chinks and ragheads and niggers, and make them feel threatened in our grand old U.S. of A. cause only whitey really belongs here. Maybe they will all go home so we can stop feeling threatened when we see them prosper.

Or, you two could sit down and question WHY you choose to be hateful towards a particular race. Its easy to just call me sensitive when you are the ones with the flawed logic.

Nice try, but you said "If a raghead owns a music store, buying a new cd is all of a sudden supporting terrorism." You did not specify terrorist, and it would have been nonsensical to say that in the context you used. It would say:

If a terrorist owns a music store, buying a new cd is all of a sudden supporting terrorism.

Now does that make any sense? Your implication was clear. Nice try on the old backpedal.

Is a 'redneck' a race?
Most rednecks are white but you wouldn't refer to a white kid wearing a cardigan, loafers and dockers as a redneck.


So tell me, what is a 'rag head'?
Is that a generic term for anyone that is 'arab'?

Or are you referring to the 20 million Sikhs around the world who are required by their religion to cover thier head with a turban?

Or perhaps you are referring to the hundreds of millions of muslims who wear turbans?

You know, the majority Iraqis are not ragheads.

Afghanis aren't ragheads either. Their headwear of choice is more of a hat, than a turban.




And I doubt the good ole USA has to worry about any terrorist attacks from the Krishna and dot heads.


Maybe they will launch some Buddha bombs.



You are so fucking ignorant, it's scary.

Your logic indeed.

Miir....don't over analyze what a rag-head is please. When a person hears it 95% understand. It's a slang term used in generalizing a group of people. This also goes with what I said about red-necks. I was discussing how slang is used to discribe a group of people. When you over analyze and tear it all apart it loses the very simple point I was making. Substance over symbolism.

No it's not.
It's 100% ignorance because you don't even know the difference btween a Sikh a Muslim or a Buddhist. In the original context of this thread, Fash equated 'raghead' with terrorist.
That's not slang, that's ignorant racism.

The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.

Based on racial intolerance; "racist remarks" 2: discriminatory especially on the basis of race or religion


It's even more ironic that your fuckwits don't even know what religion or race these people are.

My logic is I don't make generalizations of people because of their race, especially not using derogatory language. You don't want Miir to analyze it because to do so would mean for you to ask yourself what your motivation for using racial slurs is? I know its hard but eventually you need to deal with what drives you to use hateful expressions. Sticking your head in the sand and telling yoruself that they are not hateful expressions only allows you to avoid why you do what you do.

The enlightened mind is not afraid to question what makes them think they way they do, what motivates them to act in a certain way. "Substance over symbolism" is a stupid motto. Symbols are a reflection of substance and substance manifests itself in symbols. The interplay between the two is probably too difficult for you to understand, so keep your little motto if it makes you feel justified in making racial slurs. It still doesn't explain WHY you do.

By using the term 'raghead' and then equating that with terrorism makes it pretty easy to deduce that you are completely ignorant of the group of people that you are applying that term to.

Could you visually tell the difference between an Indian and an Iraqi?
What about the difference between an Isreali and Palastinian weaing the same uniform?
Can you tell the difference between a Muslim extremist and a Buddhist?
What about a Christian Pakistani and a Muslim Pakistani?


You know, for a few of those, I couldn't tell the difference.
That's why I don't use racist terms such as 'raghead' or 'cameljockey'.

If you took some time and actually learned about that area of the world, you might understand why using such generalizations are frowned upon.

He wasn't saying that the Navigator COULDN'T do better offroad than a van. His point is it WON'T.

How often do you think luxury SUV owners take those vehicles offroad.


I have seen everything from a bycicle to a mercedes on the dunes hell I have even seen a couch. About reading comprehension Thats not even true. Yes I have seen many a navigator on the dunes. If you can actually afford an overpriced SuV, then you can afford to break it. Hell one trip over to the Oregon coast. I was awakened to the Roar of a frickin BUS heading accross the dunes. had to get a D9 cat to pull it out once it stopped.

Is a 'redneck' a race?
Most rednecks are white but you wouldn't refer to a white kid wearing a cardigan, loafers and dockers as a redneck.

If you refer to anyone as a redneck, you are in fact using a racial slur.

Generally speaking, it is usually used to stereotype anyone who is white and from the south.

That being said, it doesn't matter if the kid is wearing a cardigan, or burning a cross. If you label anyone a redneck, you are lumping them all into the same group.

I personally prefer "Caucasian Trash" to redneck. Redneck is so un PC. =P

Okay racial remarks, the problem here is that we do not have a really good white people racial slur. The term honky has been used but it lacks any value anymore, not to mention it was originally used for hungarians, and not all white people. Cracker is invalidated by the fact that all white people do not easily fall under the definition, nor are they all easily called rednecks.

Soooo, cracker, honky and redneck are all out. However we do have the classic "Paleface" which implies a not too bright, thieving, lying, treaty breaking scumbag who would murder women and children, and give disease ridden blankets out in an effort to commit genocide. This definition fits most white people and thus is probably the best slur for white people. It fits well with the term two-faced (and since white people generally maintain two faces about racial issues is applicable).

Therefore white people are twofaced palefaces who can all blow me.

That feels comfortably useful, but to really insult a word has to end with a hard consonant like K, D, N, R, P, etc. So I nominate Blizzard.

Blizzard allows us phrases like, Blizzard Bitch, Blizzard Boy, Bunch of lazy Blizzards, You dumb Blizzard motherfuckers, Suck me you dumb blizzard bitch.

Like blizzards, white people are well, white, cold, and detached, so I love it. Make sure you all call the nearest dumbass blizzard, a blizzard today.

Funny how most of those racial slurs were mispelled too.

Wop (not Wap) stands for With Out Papers. It refers to the great influx of immigrants in the early 20th century who showed up at Ellis Island with out papers. A large number of these immigrants were from Italy.

I'd like to point out that while I was in Hawaii I was called a Howlie. While in Asia I was called a Round Eye. Here in the Wisconsin northwoods they usually call us Hoss, especially if you just hit Black Jack. At work they either call me Sir, or Dumbass depending on the person.

You could say that about any other name for a race/class/etc.. Redneck = white trash everywhere I've lived, and is about as flattering as being called any other racial slur.

I concede and bow to your non-ignorant level of superior thought.

We all live in glass houses. Once we all realize that, people will stop being so damn sensitive and stop expecting this un-reachable utopian idea that infects so many liberal minds.

I agree with that, but it really just depends on how the person you call a redneck takes it.

some black people refer to themselves or friends as "nigga" as a group classification, but that doesn't mean it is not a racial slur.

Miir's sig : The original Negrodite Paladin

Negro : relating to or characteristic of or being a member of the traditional racial division of mankind having brown to black pigmentation and tightly curled hair


Erudite : Characterized by erudition; learned


So in making a 'new' word out of the two, I am saying my character is the original brown skinned, erudite Paladin. I refer to him as the 'original' because he was the first level 50 (pre Kunark) Erudite Paladin on Veeshan.


You can try to find something derrogatory in that if you like, but you'll just make yourself look silly.

Negro has never been a considered a racist or derrogatory word. It's about as offensive as calling a white person a caucasian.

Hate to break it to you Miir, but you are completely wrong. It is taken as a slur.

Hell a few years back a guy somewhere in DC was forced to resign after using the term niggardly in reference to a budgetary decision, and the words have nothing in common, not even minutely so.

Go to Mississippi and tell a black person he's a negro then come back here and tell me how many stitches you have in your head.
