tell me someone how is it that Andy and Burke can get away with racist jabs against seven the whole time? I dont know if people let it slide because it just makes them looks like they have massive cases of xenophobia and secretly snigger, or they just don't notice. If its the former, a word of advice to you guys: To win an arguement or a battle properly and retain dignity, it's best to avoid "ist" pokes to insult someone. " you are fat " or " you come from belgium " is not a comeback. If it's the latter, would someone do something about it.
Whilst I agree that nowdays racism is thrown around like a hot potato, calling someone waffles or using any indication of their country against them as a term of mockery qualifies racism. Go up to a german and call him Wurst or a Turk person and call him Kebab, or an Italian and call him Pizzaface or whatever plethora of insults you can muster and you will be smacked in your face in the future and be called a racist.
Having ancestry from somewhere is not an excuse.. I have all kinds of mixed blood and family, some I feel closer to and some not, but I don't go around saying the spanish are *insert insult here* because I have a spanish uncle, or I dont say the Irish are all drunks, and say its ok cos my sister is married to one so I'm allowed, or say all Italians are greasy wops cos my mother (and I) is one.
and saying all belgiums are fake is NOT nationalism. Nationalism is supporting your country in football or when it goes to war or what have you, but calling someone waffles or whatever you've called seven in the past relating to his country is racism. Understand the difference? I also don't understand how people were equating "nationalism to racism" and how familys with euro roots living in America has anything to do with anything.
and just so you know,English dental care nowdays is just fine and the stereotype arose as far as I know when we sailed to your country to colonise you and got scurvy along the way.
To summarize, I said it before to you: Just stop being so race orientated for once.
I have ancestry from Germany, Holland and Poland. I'm sure many Belgians have the same sort of deal. A lot of people throw around the term racism too easily and this is another one of those instances. Absolutely pathetic how someone can equate nationalism to racism because afterall many families in this country originate from Europe, not to mention Britain of course. Is every jibe at the state of English dental care a racist taunt and should be considered racism?
Give me a fucking break, Paul. Hector is a little white cracker.
