That would mean that, in the case of the OP, Tevez was labelled a **** on the grounds solely of his nationality and the fact that he is foreign. As opposed to him being labelled a **** due to his behaviour. Something I cannot believe for one moment. I would also state that the word "Argie" is descriptive as opposed to pejorative.Vienna_70 said:SWP's back said:Yes but fat **** is prejudice but not illegal or racist either.prairiemoon said:Racism is a prejudice, you agree? Then do not try to qualify it as something else.
Argie **** is not clever but nor is it racist or illegal.

No it's fucking not.uwerosler28 said:This is called xenophobia
Can people please fucking read up before commenting.
Xenophobia is defined as "an unreasonable fear of foreigners or strangers or of that which is foreign or strange."
So Argie or Irish **** is not xenophobia as it's not a case of hating or fearing all foreigners at all.
Of course it's xenophobia. Where in your definition of xenophobia, does it say ALL foreigners?

Your argument is a valid one in principle. However, in the UK the public order act and other laws stopping offensive language in public and towards others are laws that we have to abide by. It's as simple as that really. If you don't like it then there's nothing physically stopping you speaking your mind but if someone does take offence, then you could be in trouble.
Let me put it another way, if you saw a 6'5 Spaniard built like a brick outhouse and a kung fu expert and you didn't like him, would you call him a Spanish twat to his face?

have you ever called anyone a name in your life? or you 100% unbigoted?
i called the paper boy a nobhead before because he walked out in front of my car and i nearly knocked the little prick over.....oops there we go again. mr bigot called people pricks and nobheads.
FUCK OFF
Then he would have committed a far worse offence than I.<br /><br />-- Sun Apr 01, 2012 9:05 pm --<br /><br />Franny Lee's Barrel Chest said:And what would you do if he broke several bones in your body and made you drink soup for the rest of your life?

Apology accepted though I now know you have the mental capacity of a slow worm. I shall always keep it in mind and avoid overly complicated points.
As for your last sentence, <a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man</a> that is the sum total of your point.
