believe it or not maddax my mate has just phoned me and said it actually got reported in one of the papers i m sure you could hunt it down to see if i m lying...knob

Why should I give a shit about a story from 'your mate'? True or not.

If I tell you a story about an Asian kid being picked on everyday in school, raciallly abused or beaten up by white kids does that mean I, as a white person, must be racist and there is a huge conspiracy to 'keep down' all Asians.

Get a grip pal.

Thank you for your excellent comments. Can I leave it to you to arrange for pissedagain's sedatives to be administered. Make sure that the nurse is a big strapping lass from Nigeria, but then again, he might enjoy it too much. May be he just hates curries, although I bet it gets in the taxi at midnight. Funny, that.

in topics like this im always suspicious of people who claim to not see the difference between a racist [or sexist or homophobic] remark and one about someone having big ears, or jokes about french or germans. whenever the fact of historical context is mentioned it is always completely ignored leading me to believe ulterior motives are at work.

Monfils?

if it was about this guy he does look like a gollywog...my mate looks like a character of a cartoon and i always say it to him. I don't think it's racist.

I tell you now and for sure, if he went to court and stood next to a cardboard cut-out of a Golly Wog there is not a judge in the land who would not agree.

Just like saying the guy looks like a thumb to me. If he looks like something or someone to you then he does. If someone looked like hitler would it be wrong to say it?

Rimsky, my friend, you appear to have confused the issue. A person's appearance is as it is. The offensive action is to then to compare it to a representation meant to demean and oppress. Whether the comparison, on a purely physical basis, is accurate or not is a complete irrelevance. I can see that some may find the image funny, but let's see you laugh along at it with a black person who you don't know.
