Racist Officials

[royfromaus]

PSG game abandoned.

[Peter Pedant]

yeah I parked a comment on the racist milwall fans thread

voyous racistes! dégoûtants dégénères ! (*)

( er mods that means racist scum and disgusting degenerates just in case you are in "he called me an ignoramus last year and I have only just found out what it means" mode) and so you zap - just to be sure

(*) - from the opening scene of La cage aux folles 1980 where Papa is composing his speech - les rues sont pleins de criminels - non non - de voyous, - no non mettex degeneres!"
and then he hears that his leader has been found dead in the arms of " un prostituee mineur noire!"
exciting stuff - with Nou-Nou tognazzi in the leading role

From a competition point of view the result would have been crucial had Man Utd completed their outrageous comeback via a non-penalty and the Hand of Harry Maguirdona.

[Peter Pedant]

“ and the next they don't want to be called'black'.What on earth do they want?”

Not to be called “***” (“negru”)
Allegedly
I guess

[ichkeria]

Even AB doesn’t like it!

[emmie]

words do get blipped some innocent ones sometimes...

[Spicerack]

Not even in countries where variations of *** mean black?

[ichkeria]

Well I think the issue is that they caught the word “negru”
But it still seems an odd way to describe someone in that context.

[emmie]

sqad used the word Negress in one post, hadn;t heard that in donkeys years, not accceptable now don;t think

[ichkeria]

We wouldn’t even call someone a “black” though.
I’m not saying it isn’t a misunderstanding but I can see why they were upset.

[emmie]

people don't as a rule say that, but are getting caught out in exactly what is acceptable.

[Spicerack]

Not if you're from a country where *** means black.
It must be just like us saying the black bloke.
Although, I doubt that would be considered cricket now.

[douglas9401]

'They' are certainly keeping 'us' on our toes in all of this.

I've never felt so nimble and adaptable to whim.

[Spicerack]

I used to be a lithe girl
But now I am a him.

[steg]

Aww, You’ll always be a little girl to me, spicey

[Peter Pedant]

we all have as we know well as we revisit it at frequent intervals
taboo words
and taboo actions

and black is a taboo word here and not in America
afro-caribbean is the current one - mouthful I agree

Didnt Arthur Ashe do a black power salute at wimbldedon and get booed? -

taboo actions - as you all doubt the analysis as left wing piffle - urinating on a war memorial?

[Peter Pedant]

// Although, I doubt that would be considered cricket now.//

I used 'black' for a sudani and my arabic teacher just about lost consciousness. and cd only squeal - you cant say that !
we werent speaking English

When Macron visited a war memorial and a teenager ( taboos of place and time) asked - "OK nu-nu?" he just about bust a blood vessel on the grounds that the war dead demanded respect, and he wasnt visiting as a man but as a representative of la peuple de France who were aware of the enormity of their sacrifice
