Just a little test I did... [racism test]

[AgnesIO]

It would have been even harder for Martin considering it was in Spam.

If it was in world politics or something you could make a decent decision, whilst when the thread was in spam you have to think 'Is he taking the piss?'

I would like to say that Australians call English people Poms, not Brits

And also, what is a belgian :S

Where did the word 'pom' come from, to describe/name brits? Is it something to do with apples and potatoes?

[e5]

I think it would have been more effective to do

Pakistanis <- title
i h8 them <- content

then

belgians <- title
i h8 them <- content

see if they both got closed, instead of lmao...

You would have gotten in trouble, but if both were closed you'd have proved a point, same if only one was

I think it was something to do with when the convicts where taken over to Aus, the Brits taking them had like pom things on their hats.

Something like that anyway.

Anyway, fair play to the MOD for apologising. Other people wouldn't have done the same.

Technically not as it's their ancestors who were prisoners not them. It's also worth noting the population contains a lot of migrants and also native Australians (Aboriginals?).

As for the short word for a Pakistani, although there is little sense in why it's so offensive, it's society which determins the context of words and how appropriate they are, not Habboxforum.

Saying the word is not at all acceptable (Anton Du Beke in the news last week for example) and is almost always used in a deregatory manner, usually intended to be deliberately racist or incite hatred towards Arabs/Pakistanis/Indians.

to reply in this whole thread. Man, if i could, i would -rep you again.
Not all Australians are prisoners, as whoever above me said, there are aboriginals who are indigenous to Australia, and then Europeans/Americans/Asians etc have migrated to Australia.

God, how ignorant can you get :eusa_wall:eusa_wall:eusa_wall

-Repped him again for you

And I have to agree that is a really ignorant thing to say Wolves. 'Technically' if we go by 'Technically' then half the world are prisoners :\

EDIT: Cant -rep

[StefanWolves]

And lol, what? wow what a bold statement 'If we got by 'technically' then half of the world would be prizonerzzz!!!!' ~ Sorry, but is that some sort of a sick joke?
