New Phrase!

So do we call the stinky, squishy & proud, "CHOCOLATE"?

LMAO

[~Skitty~]

what happened to my thread ;__;

...

it is a racial slur.

...

Almost every word is. Here in england 'spade' is a 'racial slur' for dark skinned people, the spade in a suit of cards being a black suit. In Germany 'Dachpappe' (translates as 'roofing felt') is a similar term.

This is silly.

A roofer will have to find a term for his materials that does not refer to black or colour (to avoid insulting coloured people). He can't call if 'heavy underlayer', because that might offend overweight people. He can't call it 'thin', because anorexics would be displeased. He can call it 'sand-sprinkled bitumene paperboard', but then he'll probably lose his job, because bitumene implies black... that racist.

The gardener can't go to the DIY and ask for a spade, because the sales assistant, by an unfortunate chance, black skinned?

Stop bloody (offensive to native Americans because of the slightly reddish skin?) taking it so serious! I've been called a 'kraut' by Brits or Americans or 'mof' by Dutch. 'Kartoffelfresser' by Turks. And 'Rigips' (a German brand of plasterboard) by an American soldier. I'm not even white, I'm pink.

It's christmas, but I can't have ginger biscuits, because people of that hair colour will be upset.

I can rise to anything. But I don't have to. This whole business is all made up for political arousal. Stop using one term, and the next one will be invented.

Don't feed the trolls.

@ drynot: I warned you up there...

In defense of myself Wetman, your situation, though unfortunate and stupid, is not applicable where I am from, because you are referring to an object. In that case, there is no possible way you can get in trouble for saying the word spade as long as you are referring to the shovel no matter who is at the counter. I was merely speaking of the dangers of going around and calling people nilla. You can refer to vanilla ice cream by saying nilla ice cream all day long if you like. Context is important with the exception of a very few select words. No one cares about the word in particular, it is how it is used. At least, that is the way it works where I live.

All I am really saying is this is a word you should not use to refer to someone unless you know they will not be offended by it. Anyways, I am done. If people still do not understand what I am saying, then they only read the first sentence of my posts.

[aleyxsis]

Vanilla is a common word used to speak of those not involved in the Bdsm or kink scene. Nilla is quite common too. Y'all get your panties in a bunch for nothin.

I am Puerto Rican, and have been called a spic only once in my life, and this is how I felt:

Oh, and the rest of my family are nillas, I'm the crazy one.

[ABigDL]

I find the words "People" and "Person" offensive... I prefer the term "Meat Popsicle".
