Just read that on the link in another thread, TTT. How pathetic that some find racism in almost everything we say and do. I'm so pleased that i can chant, "Come on you Clarets" in the knowledge that - so far - there is no-one of that hue to be offended. :-/

I rather doubt anyone is offended the DMV have made their rules and now struggle to administer them with any degree of common sense.

oh yeah - um well - great !

is there a herpetologist ( = snake charmer ) who can tell me what this means sort of ?
or as 3T so often says - foo! what dat mean den?

and what is Coy-wa for chrissakes

Agree, mamy. I would imagine that only friends and family of the prof would know why he wants COYW on his registration plate.

Wonder if the New Zealand rugby supporters have a similar issue.

Next for hate speech will be saying you like Border Collies but have an intense dislike of Bull Dogs.

I didn't think 'Come on you [anything]' was an American phrase, so I'm surprised they attached any meaning to those letters at all, let alone something with racist connotations.

How did they know the W stands for 'Whites' anyway?

I think it's all getting a bit silly.
