glynn fuddy is back and would like to applogise

i said paki which got me banned from here personally i dont regret saying it but if anyone else was offended i appologise ive missed u guys

 

Personally

You should still be banned.

 

Doesn't sound like a genuine apology mate

And you used the word again. I would be surprised if this thread is around for much longer.

 

RE: Doesn't sound like a genuine apology mate

That word could be a form of abbreviation like "Brit" for example, a term used to describe British, or Aussie, or Scot, or Swede

 

It could be, but it is a racist term

And has been proved to be so in court.

I think if anyone who uses that word is honest, they are not using it to abbreviate a term for a Pakistani person. The point you made about Swedes, Aussies is interesting though as it's just using the same form as P**i word

Seen a car with that reg on it awhile back PAKI....

You got banned for that? Petty....

RE: glynn fuddy is back and would like to apologize

Looks like there's gonna be a Lynch mob out for Glynn fuddys blood by the look of these whats debating whether the word Paki is racist or not....Morals are abound on here so it seems....

 

RE: Also see here

But the term Brit, Aussie or Kiwi would not be classed as racist in courts me thinks and it's exactly the same thing

 

Lynch mob?

You were the first to mention lynch mob. All I am questioning is whether that word is racist or not, and, if so, why someone would use it again having been banned for it once.

And there is nothing wrong with having morals (in my opinion). Most of us have them to some extent, so I suppose you are right, morals abound.

 

RE: glynn fuddy is back and would like to apologize

At the end of the day this is a football forum, and with football trying to do something about racism its not appropeate to use the word.

 

You weren't banned for saying

'Paki' - you were banned for saying 'sponging Paki basterd' in reference to a 'woman in a ninja outfit'. Slight difference!

 

RE: Lynch mob?

Ok you play Judge! beginning to think youd be good at it to be truthful?....

Think site admin would find his post fine i reckon, after all he was just stating that the word P*ki (must watch my step) was the reason he got banned....

 

but it wasnt! nt

 

Not quite the same I think

Most people would not insult me if they said I was a "Brit". But the P word is understood by most reasonable people to be offensive and racist, and has been held to be so in courts.

Many years ago I made frequent trips to Scotland, and I got used to being insulted up there. I could go along with being called a "barsteward", but somehow I found "English barsteward" insulting. Still not sure why.

 

RE: but it wasnt! nt

Aye it seemed daft for him to get Banned for just saying Paki, so hes only telled half a story ....

Mind some would have him run over on here! for just saying that word....Fecking unbelievable....

 

No it isn't

A Brit refers to someone from Britain, an Aussie to an Australian, a Kiwi to someone from New Zealand. A 'Paki' is what some people call anyone with a particular look, be they from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, numerous Middle Eastern countries or even if they were born and bred in England.

 

RE: Not quite the same I think

That's because we don't make a big song and dance and say that being called a Brit is offensive. The Pakistanis made a big song and dance about the Pa*i word years ago and it's stuck, so we now believe that it is a bad word but when you compare it to other countries people that have been abbreviated in the same way eg. Aussies, that's deemed to be ok. Not right what's good for the goose and all that

 

Lynch mob? Run him over?

You keep using these type of phrases, no one else does. Glad Cazi has clarified what the ban was for. Personally I don't like people using that word but that is my opinion, and I would not dream of trying to convince you to have the same opinion as me.

I don't have anything against you for having a different opinion, you have an absolute right to that.
