Racism or Stupidity ???

Must be different rules in Darlo marra... I'm shocked how short the schoolies have their skirts?
They are almost non existent.

 

As I said to Brian, I left in '83 but I remember one episode where the lasses with short skirts on were made to kneel on the floor & if the hem didn't touch the floor they were sent home to change.
This was in front of the rest of the class btw.

 

The world is going crazy....

 

Nobody is born racist they are taught it by society

 

By their parents particularly.

 

How ironic that the girl that highlighted it should be named after a colour ....
... will she have to be covered up if shes near people with skin cancer from being exposed to the sun?

 

Do you mean Lucy Black . . . . and are we still allowed to say 'colour'

 

There's a journo on sky news called Caroline Coon.
Imagine having a name like that.

 

What does she look like, Billy

 

White skinned blonde lass.
Bit skinny for me but I'd bend her ower the chebble.

 

I quite like the name Caroline..

 

I got called to the school because a teacher had overheard Sammie describe somebody as half cast. They said it was a racist, aggressive and offensive term because 'cast' means 'pure' and she was saying somebody was 'only half pure'. I just shrugged my shoulders, told them I didn't know that and she'd probably picked it up from hearing me say it. So I got a telling off in front of the bairn

 

Well why haven't they taught her what's acceptable & not? No good expecting older generations to do it as changes to what's acceptable changes so much. So if the school is so much in the know, why haven't they taught her the correct terms. I would have dressed them down mate and told them it's their responsibility not yours to teach which items of issues which are current. They're supposed to be preparing her for adult life after all they have the qualifications to do such that. From you've said there It's the school who has failed her on this, not you mate. Parents don't get a PC handbook through the letter boxes, these changes to political correctness are born out of places like schools so they should be keeping the kids up to day not the parents imo.

If the school had done their job right, she wouldn't have got it from you, she would have corrected you instead. ****ing books passing jobsworths.

 

wow mate so right just what i would and have done ...take no **** from jobsworth PC correct ****s, if ever there was a real crisis in the country them twats would be the first queuing up for the first flight out to a safe country

 

They will change the names to 'coloured' so Blackburn f c will be coloured burn, Blackpool etc then there is the group black lace, shoe polish etc etc. I remember the gollywog getting banned off chivers jam !, don't even mention the black and white minstrels from the 1970's either or be sued, school trousers colour will go through a debate at parliament/house of lords. there must be somebody out there sitting thinking about how to antagonise people, when there is enough going on in the world today to worry about.

 

The key word is context.

 

A Jamaican neighbour refers to herself as being black no problems - it is big trouble for white British to call her black. Totally absurd and pathetic this stance by the PC army (is this an old EU directive ?) goes way beyond madness -feeling very and totally confused similar emotions when following Sunderland

 

Is Going ?
