Is it socially acceptable?

[Sly]

If a person is black/asian to drop the 'n' bomb/call them a ****?
If a person is fat to call them obese?
If a person is a ******* to mock them for not having a father?
If a person is ugly to make comments about their apearance?
If a person is poor to mock them?

Can you do these things without causing a public scene and people thinking your a racist/fat hater/new right extremist/nasty/snob

Usually in an arguement i'll say anything I don't care how below the belt it is but today I found myself gritting my teath on the best comeback ever 'cos I was advised by my friend not to do it as people would probably take offense.

i say anything thats funny, i wouldn't say anything racist purposefully, but if it makes someone laugh but doesn't harm anyone i will

erm well suffice to say if someone tried to mock me about a characteristic i may/may not have whilst they also may/may not have it to a further degree then i would take it upon myself to exploit it and thus win the argument

[Black_Apalachi]

Of course not. How can you not know this? :S

I meen like as a cheep dig though, like say a black man pushed you over and you was like stupid *****.
Your not saying it because your racist you just know it's going to get to him

[dirrty]

Of course not. How can you not know this? :S

exactly what i was gonna say lol.

it's kinda obvious that they're not socially acceptable, especially in a society like ours today.

[cocaine]

nah i'd never do that. Im kind i'd probably be like "***?" if he didn't say sorry i'd be like "idiot " but i'd never be racist. But i make jokes mock the week worthy.

[leah]

I always insult people based on looks

None of them are acceptable, what on earth makes you think any of them are remotely acceptable even in an harshly worded argument? You'd have to be some sort of an idiot to ever resort to using these insults or "comebacks".

They're not even reasons to mock them or "get to them", it's discrimination in most cases.

The only exception to this is if you're joking with a mate and you know they're all right with being called fat or something, but that's totally different.
