Can you give an example of Chinese humour?

I don't get it.

Hi Middle Sky.

'Redneck' is a word that's used to put down white people. It isn't seen as a 'racial slur,' but it might as well be. 'Honky' and 'cracker' are terms used by black people in a futile attempt to counter the 'n####r' insult.

I guess white people are just not insulted by racial insults because at the end of the day, we pretty much created the modern world. And we know it, but don't say it, because it's 'politically incorrect.' Although the Japanese and Chinese have been doing their fair share of contributing to the modern world, lately.

I guess Greeks and Italians weren't as offended by the 'w##s' insult, because they were aware that without mathematics, astrology and other assorted practices they perfected 2000-4000 years ago, the anglos wouldn't be where they are today.

I condemn all forms of racial slurs. They are simply unnecessary. However, I am not deluded by the notion that 'all people are created equal.' People are clearly unequal. And I guess you could say that I'm racist somewhat because I believe some races are intellectually superior to others on a genetic basis.

You don't really get my point about slurs and insults. What does this "whites invented the modern world" have to do with it?

If i said i raped your buggerin mum last night and she was a slut, you wouldn't really care since it's just poo talking. If i said that to someone whose mother was raped and murdered or something then that person would be really offended wouldnt he. When it comes to racial slurs, it's taking all that sentiment and my own personal experiences, rubbing it in my face and i can't really do anything about it. Seriously dude, there's more to it than you think. If i were you, I wouldn't really talk crap about it if i didn't know what it was like.

Donald, Donald,

"Redneck" is just a US derived equivalent of the Australian term 'bogan'. Rednecks are just a tad unsophisticated. It's not even race related.

Roy D Mercer is best known for perpetuating the Redneck persona with his expressions such as "ass whuppin" or "I'm gonna hit you so hard your kids are gonna be borned dizzy"  in his prank phone calls.

Most rednecks are actually proud of being called rednecks, so it's an ineffective slur. The term normally evokes a series of 'hyuk's accompanied by extreme wobbling of the beergut by the true redneck.

I guess the point you're trying　make is that you want to learn and understand the 'history' behind the wacist insults? Yeah, sure. I find it interesting too.

I guess you're other point is that people need to be in your position to 'understand' wacism?

If not, what is your point?

On the contrary, Middle Sky, the area where I was born had a mass influx of Southern Europeans as I was growing up. My suburb was made up of about 30% Australians. I copped plenty of racially motivated insults in my schools and I was in the minority. Yet, I didn't take it to heart.

I am now in a country where about 99% of the population is non-European in origin. I've copped plenty of discrimination since I arrived here around a year ago (So please spare me the 'you don't know what it's like' routine). Yet, I don't really care about it.

And everytime I come onto a political forum or talk to them in person all I hear are a bunch of whining foreigners claiming they were  'unfairly treated' and 'discriminated against' because somebody looked at them funny in the street (Mind you, head to toe Islamic outfits are more suitable for costume parties than supermarkets in modern Australia).

I guess what I'm trying to find out is the reason why different races react so differently to racially motivated attacks. 'White' people, in my experience, are the least likely to take a wacist attack seriously. An African on the other hand...

Mｙ statement 'whites invented the modern world' was not intended to be an insult. It's just a fact. Sorry if that makes you feel smaller, but it's simply the truth. Chinese people invented a few good things too and　created a pretty kick-@ss civilisation if that makes you feel any better?

Yet, you reacted in a negative way and thought I was insulting you.

I guess what i'm trying to say with the 'whites invented everything' argument is: An African or Asian can't really carry out a wacist attack on a white for being 'stupid' effectively in an offensive way, because historically, whites have invented pretty much everything in the modern world.  However, whites can attack an African for being stupid, becasue they've invented hardly anything and Africans know it. Which is why Africans feel the need to attack Europeans with the 'physical' insults (Ie. Weak, small penises etc).

Anyway, feel free to discuss the origin of wacist insults. I don't really mind.
