Do you say the racist 'P' word...

[Jamie!]

aye, it's part of like everyday language up north. no-one takes offence to it either so it's all good.

[dirrty]

The think i dont get is

"asians" - Asia
"british" - Birtain
"****" - Pakistan

So how can they correct us from saying **** when they are from pakistan not asia :S

i guess its how you use the word. ppl have used that word for so long in an offensive way that it is deemed offensive.

[gosling]

No I dont use it but some people have made a rude poem.

I better remove this I'm only realsing how racist it was.

wow, are you still in primary school?

edit: oh, removed

I would say that's more racist reffering to it as that, than using the term I'm talking about lol.

i don't say it to be more/less racist, it's just what normally comes out.

[Ostinato]

Yeh some people obviously do use that term in a bad way - but 90% of the time it's an innocent abbreviation. Just like people may use the word "Gay" as an insult or something, but the majority of people don't use it in an offensive way...

To be honest, I think everyone int he area I live in either frequently says it or has at some point. I just think it's part of common language, but I get the impression from TV and stuff that it's a word no-one actually uses... but then I post this and my original suspicions are confirmed!

[OMGitsaROSS]

I activley use it, un offensivlley.

[alexxxxx]

nope. it is generally percieved as a racist term in any manner of speach. i am not racist and i do not want to be seen as being racist, and so do not use the word.
