The day i get offended because of a simple word related to my nationality, country name or race is beyond me, it`s just a word !
I can understand certain words that spoken or intentionally used to cause inferiority can be offensive but they are still words and do no harm other than the harm taken imho !
We should rise above both the usage and harm of such words - the written and spoken word never causes conflict, but actions of conflict often hides behind words often misunderstood !
*cartman impersonation* HEY lol j/k. If people are really offended by this bullshit then they need to make the world better and kill themselves right now. People just need to be more lax and not worry about petty shit like this.ghettoperson wrote:

When people refer to me they say that I'm a small flightless bird. Doesn't bother me too much.

I believe we should ban the phrase "nigger guy". From now on, at least 7 words must separate the words nigger and guy. Oops... shit.unnamednewbie13 wrote:
As soon as we decide a word's inoffensive-enough to use, it becomes politically-incorrect. So, speak up: what can we call these guys now?German, Spaniard, Canadian, Chilean.
Do those words offend you? Are they words that identify a group of people?
How about a generalization involving such groups, such as: all Canadians eat fish. Does this offend?
Let's say, you are offended. What consequences should follow? Is a stern warning deserved? Sensitivity training? How about a job?
Pipe welder Bill Hen– deley Jr. said he was fired from his job Wednesday for using the word "Mexican" in describing a person from Mexico at a group safety meeting.

to the original poster, hope u go into journalism dumbass, the world needs more single minded dumbass people like you telling us what is what.
If u cant see that it was the context it was said in and not necisarily the word he used, u got bigger issues then first thought.
I would only be offended if someone called me something I am not. I am Swiss and Brazilian, and partially Italian - so any of these are fine with me
However, the Swiss term "tschink" is quite annoying, as is "Money-Washer" or any of that crap >.<
But then, I can get over it, and I would not fire anyone over it x.x
@ozghost:
It was used in an argument, and pointing out that it may be accepted in Mexico, but not in the USA (or wherever that was). Don't go around talking about offensive words when you can't form a single sentence without offending someone else.

im asian and you can call me a chink gook or whatever it does not offended me, this is the INTERNET peoples... your not going to die... unless something happens.
That is what gets me is that he called a guy from Mexico a Mexican. He didn't call him a spic or wetback. Now if say the Mexican was from say Peru then he wouldn't be a Mexican but a Peruvian. Hardly a reason to fire someone. That would be like calling someone an American when they are Canadian. Hardly a reason to fire someone even though some of you Canadians may disagree.

Its only you Aussies that call us that. We've heard it for over a hundred years, doesn't really bother us TBH.ozghost wrote:

NZers are often called kiwis. A kiwi is a flightless native bird (some would say, an appropriate metaphor for our airforce) and we certainly don't consider it a derogatory term. A kiwifruit is the fruit, though its marketted overseas as kiwi. Actually, if any of you make your own chillisauce (hotsauce) you should try having some kiwifruit in there in about the same amount as tomato, its bloody nice!

I'm German. Should I be offended if someone calls me that? When are people going to grow up and stop acting like such whiny children. PC crap FTL.

wtf let me get this straight a ethic born Mexican hates being called "Mexican".....jeez Christ what has the world come to. its ridiculous reminds me of the south pak episode cartman: "token is a black kid in my class"...."ZOMG he said black" come on... we can't use the 5 colour system: black, white, yellow, brown, red and now we can't call a German German, a Russian Russian, a Chinese chinese. Heck why dont' we call each other "comrade (name)" or "citizen (name)" from now on.
Nah, you'd just get fired for calling him a New Zealander if your supervisor was a kiwi.Hurricane wrote:

My point excactly, I wouldn't give a rats ass if someone would call me one of those so called ''offense'' names, if it happens to have some sort of truth to it, then people should stop whining and bitching about it.Liberal-Sl@yer wrote:

He wasn't fired for using the word Mexican, he was fired for the comment which suggested that he felt that managers and Mexicans could get away with anything, which they perhaps felt implied that he though Mexicans frequently did the wrong thing.
Don't get me wrong, I think they're overreacting, but his comment could be interpreted in a way that makes it racist.

Depends on how you got the nickname, I like to think that the Americans and UK have an understanding that they can call us limey/brit and we can call them a yank but we still love each other. xxxx guys xxxx
It's not up to you to decide. Still a lot of people agreed on that it should be forbidden I didn't but it's weird to name food in such a way. Nigger isn't the same as saying white such as ' Blanke Vla ' so that in my opinion isn't offending.RDMC(2) wrote:

But you are not the one to decide if it's offending or not since you can't know because you'll probably have a white skin and not a coloured one.
Anybody can call me by my nationality I'm proud of it why would you be offended? But giving different kinds of food a name by using a slang that was used in the times of slavery.. No just no.
