[Jibster]

There is a book with that title! and you just said frank made a mistake why? cuz you know some might see that as racist? ye like some 10 year old black girl who hears that word at school and is wondering why a respected football pundit said it on tv, and your last bit about undertones well you have lost me.

Please shut the fuck up. You are boring.

Yeah I agree he should have picked a better quote, our generation and yes especially 10 year old girls, will not know of the Agatha Christie book, especially those that are racist. So to them it is wrong, but we shouldn't make a big deal out of it as Frank isn't from our generation, and he didn't make the connection between the book, he probably studied it at school. This is my last post if we can't agree on these points we never will.
And I never knew about the Paki book, my mistake. Pz.

Ok so say im in the libary and there is a pakastani guy standing next to me, do you think its ok if i go, Exuse me mate have you ever read that book Im a paki and proud! I think he would be more than a little pissed off! but i dont know why i was just quoting a book!

Yes, of course it is. What else are you supposed to say "Excuse me mate, have you ever read that book "I'm A _______ And Proud?"

It's the title of a book, for fucks sake. If I made a post on this message board saying "Does anyone have the lyrics to 'Po Nigga Blues'?" would that be racist?

It's not about the words used, it's about the intent.
