He may email the admins and apologise, then we'll see if he is allowed back

To be honest it made him look more of an idiot than offend myself and others. Might just be a cooling off ban for the poor geezer. Fair play to the guys that told him off

yeah, i dont think admin 1 is in a good mood today so emailing might not help

So he can't use the site at all?

I suppose it is quite bad, if his intention was to be abusive.

Bet he's regretting it!

I'm not sticking up for anyone, certainly someone i've never come across, but is shortening the word Pakistan to 4 letters considered racist then?

I appreciate it would be racist to use that word in a derogatory way, but is it offensive written down like that?

Yeah it's a racist term, just like the N word for black people and the H word for white people

I get the origins of other racial slurs, but I just can't see where that comes from. That probably makes me sound a little ignorant, but really, I've never heard it, let alone been called it before

honk*y
insult to white people. same as whitey and cracker, but no white person is offended by these words no matter who is saying them.

its just people trying to come up with something to say to the whites, doesnt work though

Oh, right. So it is basically a made up word used to try and offend us That is a bit weird.

Also, if you call someone "a (insert colour of skin here) idiot". If that is your colour skin then i would only say the "idiot" word was offensive.

But then i guess it depends on how offensive the "insulter" meant by it.

Anyway, this has gone off track a bit.

Roy Keane = out of order.

So it is racist to call Keane an Irish

But if you just call him a that is fine?

Didn't the word originate in America though? So maybe an American would have more idea of why it's racist and if it is actually insulting. Like the rest of you guys, I just find the word funny.

The incident last night was really just the straw that broke the camel's back. Like I said, I always defended him and made excuses for him, but there are just too many incidents to ignore now. Makes me sad too because as a footballer, he was my all time favourite.

Calling someone an Irish anything isn't racist cos the Irish aren't a race.
