moumotta Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Freudian slip. Its pretty much the same comment as Tanvir's and goes back to the same cause. The way Pakistani's keep telling each other about hindu zehniyat, hindu ka chota dil etc. The slip, if any, is that it came out the way it is rooted in his brain, uncovered, undisguised.
Rajiv Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Awwww...really? Homer has more brains than you, c0ck-boy. So where's the reference to the "loongi stuff" come from, Your "saaf-suthra dil"? May I remind the "mod" that the reference is derogatory. It's like mentioning "taco" to a Mexican or "fried chicken or grape soda" to an African-American. our responses are reactionary to your bigotry. Go sit in a corner and hit your fist against your forehead. You mean this? http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showpost.php?p=1421725&postcount=5 or something else
Homerus_Unus Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 You mean this? http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showpost.php?p=1421725&postcount=5 or something else You can't make redneck jokes....unless you're a redneck. You can't say the "N" word....unless you're Black You can't make Jew jokes........................................................you get the drill now. That said, I'm sure a South-Indian (unless you're one) might've taken offense to your statement. That also said...my tolerance for the padosi-kind is very thin, especially this guy in question, parading around like some self-righteous, peacenik nut-gobbler.
Fontaine Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Guys can you please stop using words like "paki" which is an insult? Anyone who has any sense will know that this term was used against Indians, Banglas, Pakistanis alike by bigots so people using the word "paki" are insulting themselves as well as others.

I think you can find the etymology discussed in detail in the "This nonsense must end now" sticky-thread.

Also stop calling Afridi Afretard. I find it offensive. Isnt name calling brokeage of house rules??

Lungi-clad is not a racist remark, have you seen IPL threads? it's very light hearted and a knock off comment to the Mumbai/Chennai crowd posts. Its no different than a simple bengali babu or even gujju ( being a miser etc ). Our country has many religions, castes and ppl use it in humour all the time. There's no malice
Homerus_Unus Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Also stop calling Afridi Afretard. I find it offensive. Isnt name calling brokeage of house rules?? We'd leave him alone....only if he didn't make an ***** out of himself every time. He deserves his moniker.
Rajiv Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Also stop calling Afridi Afretard. I find it offensive. Isnt name calling brokeage of house rules?? After his latest jabs on Indian people, I am tempted to call him Afri-heart
Fontaine Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I think you can find the etymology discussed in detail in the "This nonsense must end now" sticky-thread. I don't need a thread on some internet message board to define whether a word is a slur or not. If you or someone else wants to keep using the word fine, do what you want.

Its no different than a simple bengali babu or even gujju ( being a miser etc ). Our country has many religions, castes and ppl use it in humour all the time. There's no malice Do try making a "Taco" reference to a Mexican or a "Fried Chicken/Watermelon/Grape Soda" reference to a Black person. Then, come and talk to me....if you still have your teeth. I don't give a rat's ass about IPL or what their threads discuss. I mentioned the ground reality. Take it for what it's worth.
Sir_Afridi Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 We'd leave him alone....only if he didn't make an ***** out of himself every time. He deserves his moniker. Afridi only deserve respect. You have to remember he have to keep fans from both sides happy otherwise he will be called traitor like you call Shahrukh for being pro Pakistan.

If you or someone else wants to keep using the word fine, do what you want. This is what happens with insular self righteous attitude. Paki is frequently used in the US and even in Pakistan as a short form without any racial connotations, even by Pakistanis.

If you or someone else wants to keep using the word fine, do what you want. I didn't ask you to participate in a thread. I pointed out where it was discussed, so you could know that it was already discussed and dealt with. BTW, I am not for nor against it. You wish to live by what the British people have defined as a slur, so be it. The word was in usage, without any derogatory meaning, in the cricket-sphere for much of the 90's and no one took offense to it. Obviously when an Indian here uses it, he/she knows the derogatory reference, which evidently mocks him/her too. So, to reiterate, it's the Jew making the Jew-joke.

You want to believe it's okay, then fine see my previous post. It just made sense to me that since it's a global forum discretion is better but like I said, if you don't think so, do what you want.
Homerus_Unus Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Afridi only deserve respect. Go ahead and wax his dolphin for all I care. To me he'll always be a ball-chewing, pitch-stomping, idiot. You have to remember he have to keep fans from both sides happy otherwise he will be called traitor like you call Shahrukh for being pro Pakistan. SRK was being an opportunist...plain and simple. Pakistan is NOT a great neighbor to have. That said, I NEVER supported Shiv Sena's arm-twisting tactics. I respect SRK's right to free speech, no matter how stupid and narcissistic that speech may be. However, the right for Indian people to lambast him is also governed by the same free-speech principles.

Fontaine Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Then we have nothing more to discuss. Yeah we're cool.

It just made sense to me that since it's a global forum discretion is better but like I said, if you don't think so, do what you want. I am sorry, but I don't see why a forum where the vast majority comes from outside UK and places where Paki is considered racist, should follow the norms of where the minority derives it's origin from. The minority should be understanding of the fact that it is not intended for use in any racist way.
