    Correct
    In the context of a footballer slagging off another one those would be used negatively too, and so other race descriptors would be understood as suggesting being someone who could be described as that is fundamentally negative
    The difference being race and colour has been used by others as a reason to assault people. Lankiness hasn’t, generally, so there are less rules and laws about it.

    I get what the arguments are, but if you follow them to their natural conclusions, it ends up being probably more racist and divisive than other alternatives, but that's certainly not a discussion for here.

    Bottom line is it is easy not to be a **** but some people can’t even achieve that

    Sadly, many of the measures that are supposed to tackle the issues, often end up making them far worse, and quite often miss some nuances with other peoples lived experience and creates an opportunity for people from all sides to play the victim or to mistakenly think they are signalling some virtue..

    Trevor Phillips and Morgan Freeman have some interesting takes on the subject.

    At least they know the landlord’s not going to kick them out.

    It was overpriced ****. Poor food, poor service, limited choice, rude staff and ****ing freezing. Not surprised in the least that it has closed.

    Replying to multiple posts is a challenge, I did see you was the first to reply to the original post about the place. It wasn't complimentary.

    Starts on page 536 I think.

    To be fair, the hotel didn't look shabby. But when he said it was one of the best hotels he had ever stayed in??? I then watched his drinking one round Hull and the 1st 3 pubs he went in were Gilson Hotel, Horners and Tigers Lair. I sensed he hadn't done his research :emoticon-0100-smile
