Guavanaut posted:Much like with pāk being Urdu for pure, it doesn't matter where it comes from once ham headed cunts start screaming derivatives at Indian people (and Latin American, East African and Madagascan because racists are often stupid as poo poo) in the street, although I suspect the people making those sort of claims already know that. I've told this story a few times but one time I was waiting for the bus home after the pub and this guy comes up to me and after some small talk decides I'm solid enough to reveal to me the truth: "Do you know what the problem is with this country?" Me: "No what's that?" "Too many fuckin' Pakis" Me: "Ah, well I'm a bit biased to comment, being Indian" and the next uncomfortable few minutes before the bus arrives with him apologising and trying to walk it back

I had relatives visiting from northern ireland the other day and one of the few actual exchanges I had with them was asking if there's anywhere I might like to visit, I said cascadia would be quite nice to see cos I like big forests and that, which they followed up with by telling me the one time their friend went to canada and got lost looking for their hotel and went to a place where "there were all these rastafarians" but "some white people came and took them to their hotel and said if they had gone there at the wrong time they wouldn't have come out alive" ending with "what do you think of that?" Like that is the thing you are desperate to tell me, I have not seen you for nearly a decade but you must tell me that your friend saw a black person one time and nearly died. Thanks I guess I will never go to canada lest I also see a black person and die.

He was very insistent that the other drivers would lie about what happened because they were "fuckin' Pakis", and I was subsequently subjected to a five minute long rant about how they were ruining this country and every single one of them was either a rapist or a suicide bomber. I got a similar but reversed rant about all Indians being drunken thieves from a Pakistani customer. But I think the one that takes the cake would be the guy who was Second-generation Pakistani who confidently told me that back over in Pakistan most people wish they could have the British back. Now this guy's been to Pakistan (at least so he tells me) and I haven't, but I found myself rather skeptical of that one.

I'm terribly broken because I started reading this and then got to "Repeal The Trade Union Act" & could only think "yeah, that'd be nice" Ultimate funny scenario is Paul tries to run but Keef pushes for some anonymous SpAd with no dangerous notions like that to be parachuted into the constituency, and yet Paul remains a Keefy believer.

First of all 'family of weavers and miners going back generations' is giving off extremely 'working class pizza restaurant owner from lee' vibes, i.e. your dad owned a business where he employed working class people but he had a bit of an accent. Secondly, universal credit is poo poo right now, but abolish it? And replace it with what? And how will your version be any better? The concept of UC (a streamlined single point application process for welfare) could actually be a good thing if you abolished sanctions and investigations, and spent that money hiring enough admin staff to get processing times down. Thirdly amd most importantly, gently caress oooOOOFFF

Oh well in my case I know that Wang isn't a Korean or Japanese surname so he was likely of Chinese heritage of some kind. If he was Phil Hwang then I'd have thought differently. Also again, in a joke about a man being racist, that person theoretically misidentifying the ethnicity is an additional layer.

Do love the usual Indian-Pakistani racism olympics, though. Too busy making GBS threads on each other to remember to hate the Brits who booted them in the face for so long.

Tesseraction posted:One of the claims that "wog" wasn't slur because it was "Western Oriented Gentleman" - a term that has never been used seriously and is clearly trying to pretend it isn't more likely to be from gollywog. Which I only bothered to learn today is from golly + pollywog, a pollywog being another name for a tadpole, meaning "wiggly head." Now I feel bad that whenever I am playing with my dog, I call her "a doggy woggy wog". (Since it rhymes) Guess I'll have to file it under the "problematic things" folder.

Ah it's fine, in this case it's referring to the wagging of the tail (and also a rhyme). You cannot be racist against a dog. Unless you call it Didier Dogba.

If they take Stonehenge to Russia then they can finally build that tunnel, or not bother with a tunnel really. And think of the savings in your heritage budget!

What the hell is Russia's obsession with Wiltshire? Did someone sell all the Kremlin's maps of the UK except an old OS NPE One Inch of Salisbury Plain? Are all their intelligence officers operating out of Ted Heath's old house? Is it because it has something resembling steppeland and it's full of rusty old tanks?

If they check their receipts, there's every chance that Russia has already purchased Stonehenge along with everything else.

Literally yes, so I was just imagining a load of old dudes in rainbow hats just chilling out and these nothern irelanders just absolutely quaking in terror. One of the nice things about living up north is that you really learn to be more terrified of skinny white dudes with their trackies tucked into their socks than anyone else.

Today in the pharmacy the woman in front of me was buying some off the shelf medication for her child and when she paid she was charged £6.89 and as she paid pointed to the shelf where she said "I thought it was £4.19" and ended up getting the £2.70 refunded and as the pharmacist handed over she kinda sheepishly added "sorry, it's just that times are tough at the moment" Another reminder to me of how much people are struggling at the moment.

Just had a nasty thought this morning, if the £400 heating thing is going to come directly off our bills, how does this work for people on metred electricity? Do their accounts get topped up with £400 credit, or do they just not get it?

Theoretically yes, every account gets its balance shifted by £400
