So you are saying that only the clergy take religion seriously?

 

Seriously?

 

Everyone else are just posers?

 

WOW!

[Bday Prang]

Just finished looking at your little list of racism, looked very comprehensive at first glance, a bit  like something the Spanish inquisition would have dreamed up. Is that what you personally base your everyday accusations of racism on. If that is the case you no doubt consider just about everybody on earth a racist (with the obvious exception of yourself of course) 

 

who compiled the list for you  " trigglypuff"  lol  https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trigglypuff  you'd get on well with her haha  she's on you tube too you could cover your ears for the offensive stuff and just listen to her outrage if you'd rather play safe 

 

 

I've highlighted a few of the more ridiculous ones  I could easily have discredited all of them 

 

 9  what pronouns should be used (a very touchy subject for the woke and not just regarding race) or could you advise on an acceptable "level of use" regarding 3rd person pronouns ?

 

19 "did you hear the one about"  what kind of jokes do you like,  interesting question isn't it ?  I don't think it will take long to list them, and I doubt laughter is a common expression for you

 

 21 using the word racialist (as opposed to racist)  I never considered a basic grammatical error possibly the result of a  limited intellect or speech impediment  could be construed as evidence of racism

 

23  "woke"  is actually a derogatory adjective, now that we ("the unwoke") have reclaimed it

 

27   "all lives matter"  not as far as you are concerned I'm sure

 

30  "micro aggressions"  shocking stuff I'm sure we all agree after the "disgusting|" example you gave us     what could be more "offensive " than suggesting that anyone has the chance of success if they work hard enough, particularly in the UK the most racially tolerant and accommodating country in the world

 

would you really like me to continue ?

Do you ever post on Thai related subjects or is this the sole purpose of your membership here  I've long suspected this site to have been hijacked by social justice warriors.

It sounds like you only gave it one thought. What was your second thought?

[StreetCowboy]

A lot of people say God exists only in people’s minds, and then pretend to be atheists.

Probably less than 5% in the Uk  judging by the number of cars parked outside the local churches in my area,   That would be 3.5 million people on the move every sunday and  I just can't imagine that is true.  Might be a higher percentage in southern Ireland  Catholics are the fundamentalist branch of christianity after all

Xmas is a western eat and drink excuse for most.

 

Not many go to church or read the bible.

Depends whether you mean celebrate  in the true sense of the word  or do you mean by drinking to excess and wasting money on consumer goods?  The latter being in the majority but I'm not sure that actually counts as  "celebrating christmas" from a theological point of ]view  the person who celebrates the most would probably be Jeff Bezos

we've gone off topic a bit but It's surely  worth mentioning that there are many wokie christians who have issues with certain things written in the bible, but don't seem to extend their sense of injustice to any of the writings within the quran

Really you would have to have heard how he said it. Did he say it in a sarcastic, joking way, or was he serious?

Problem is now people get offended at the smallest criticism or comment.

As he is German and was speaking English did he understand exactly the meaning of his words?

 

I imagine he said it in a German accent  does that make me guilty of stereotyping germans ?

7/25 works well too

Actually, no one got offended .

Although it is rather inappropriate to comment on peoples large body parts whilst in the working environment

Well some interesting reading there & assumptions, I knew from reading the OP the Guy was Turkish as the fact is there are quite a lot of Turkish people in Germany and only for that reason I thought Turkish (so thats not Rascist IMO)

 

The only other thing I feel from this is possibly the OP has an Issue with German People and assumes they all have a Superiority Complex... 

 

To round things off, if instigating any warnings it used to be two verbal warnings prior to a Written Warning (but that was in UK when I worked a long time ago) and evidence to document and record this type of thing is quite hard to show.

It is actually the U.K law .

Its considered to be a hate crime if the victim thinks that its a hate crime and thats a reason why there has been a surge in hate crimes , because it depends on what the victims opinion is  

Wondered when you'd show up.....this thread needed some intellectually challenged contributions. A fine example of the logical fallacy circular reasoning; beginning with what you plan on ending up with....

Why then - if not racist = are you adding weight to his "race" by guessing what nationality he was?

Adding weight? read what I written; if asked the question what nationality is largest number of foreigners in Germany then it is Turkish granted prior to Merkel's open door policy to immigration there.

 

You never guessed his nationality then lol...  Its a human reaction to guess when the person telling the story withholds the information (you know like filling the gaps) DumbKopf!

Well, if I am "intellectually challenged" and therefore I must be wrong.

How about reading the actual law from the Crown Prosecution service where it says the same as I said ?

 

"The police and the CPS have agreed the following definition for identifying and flagging hate crimes:"

 

"Any criminal offence which is perceived by the victim or any other person, to be motivated by hostility or prejudice, based on a person's disability or perceived disability; race or perceived race; or religion or perceived religion; or sexual orientation or perceived sexual orientation or transgender identity or perceived transgender identity."

The O.P is quite vague .

Which Nationality has a stereotype for having big noses ?

Exactly what part of this statement did you find vague?

Was it racist or he was just describing what he looks like? I know in Nazi times, germans said Jews has big nose (he is not from Israel or a jew).
