Yids

[lifecheshirewhite]

Have to tell you guys, over here we call Pakistanis 'Pakis' and west Indians 'WIndies' (cricket teams mostly) and no-one complains. We call Greeks, Italians and those from the eastern european counties 'wogs'. 'Poms' is reserved for those from the British Isles (which really pisses the Jocks, paddies and Taffys off, who cares!) And guess what? NO-ONE CARES. We just get on with it.

So, there you go, Mighty, you pommie bastard. and after more than forty years I STILL get called a pom.

And I think you'll find that the word 'Yid' is actually the Yiddish word for a Jew.

see your point brisbane,what they going to do send you to live in a penal colony for the rest of your life.

I don't think it matters what names are used, it is the context in how it is said.
I have been called a bubble countless times, with no offence meant, but you call me a dirty bubble, then that changes it all. I think Chris Rock typifies what i'm trying to say;

I do not find eyetie or wop offensive, quite proud of my roots............

but lets read between the lines of these police instigated (attempted) prosecutions and see where it takes us.....

police want to acquire even more powers.....and seem to be in the mood to usurp parliament and define what is offensive...the chanting of the word COULD lead to a prosecution......

excuse me but it is either legal to do so.....then no case to answer

or

it is illegal...and there is no need to inform the world that this is the case...

if the police get their way in these 'fishing expedition' prosecutions, then I can clearly see the day when there will be a spate of prosecutions for calling certain people PIGS.................

With the dregs of the world landing daily on our doorstep, Chesh, sometimes I would love to have a nice quiet penal colony to retire to..............except Leeds of course.
