(why isn't there a smiley for an easter egg?)

We live in a world where too many people take things at face value, where people can no longer say things in a light hearted manner without being called racist. Racism to me is something said with intention, rather than just being a passing comment.

Exactly. It's like when I watch those old seventies comedy shows/films, where the Indian is always "Oh goodness gracious me!" and the Irish is always a navvy, Mr. Ching runs the takeaway etc. WTF was wrong with those figures if they were done in a gentle, even affectionate way? Nowadays you only have to mention a generic term and you're being racist. It reached critical mass one day when I read an article about a guy who was actually cited for "revving his car in a racist manner!" How the F U C K can you do that??? Chill pills all round people (and easter eggs --- mine's an After Eight or Milky Bar. Or anything with chocolate...) :thumb:

One of my favourites, from "Mind your language" I think. Indian guy in class asked well, did you learn any English yesterday. "Yes sir," he responds. "Bloody foreigners!" :rofl:

Fuck, just imagine if "Mind Your Language" was on TV today! With all these bloody foreigners trying to speak English, they'd take it off air for being racist.

Yeah. In a way, I'm surprised they get away with OFAH, considering how much "old style" racism/racial stereotypes there are in it. Can you say "Carry on movie"? :rolleyes:
