At least you have that right. 56 minutes ago, JingerBen said: A word can define race without being derogatory. Such as farang. Agreed. Loss of context... what happens when everyone communicates by smart phones and reading and believing only what that see in text on their smart phones and doesn't talk to anyone much. My biggest gripe is the heads-down-texting-while-walking syndrome. If they can't even look anyone in the eye, how on earth can they know if it's a bloody farang or not?

It doesn't matter how many white people think they are superior to black people, black can not become a derogatory word as a result. And I addressed the issue about words that are designed to disparage, farang is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran00001 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 45 minutes ago, Justfine said: Suit yourself. Farang is a racist word. A race is a grouping of humans based on shared physical or social qualities into categories generally viewed as distinct by society. Racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another. A word that describes a group of humans based on their shared physical quality, in this case being white, meets the definition of a word that describes a race. Perhaps you can explain how you think this word does anything to denote how anyone is feeling regarding racial superiority, but I bet you can't, you would have by now otherwise, rather that resorting to just insisting that it is so without further explanation.

nanglong218 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 By page 20 this may have been covered, but anyway. In Oz before the last Ashes series the ABC wondered if it was racist to refer to the English as Poms/Pommies. The response was "give them the full title, Pommy Bastar ds" And everybody fell about laughing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
