worst (sufu) waywt fits


Recommended Posts

yeah, that's the same way I always saw "spic" and "jap" as well, but I use those words sparingly lest I make the wrong impression on someone I am not well enough acquainted with.

I think the worst/most offensive sounding slur ever went to the Jews, and even that term is out of date. I used the word in a draft for a short story in this writing workshop I was in, and most of the class had never heard the word before. The teacher was familiar with it, but I think she lived through the 60s and even she admitted to not hearing it in a while.

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm Jewish and have never been called anything except Jew, and am quite curious as to what I'm missing out on.

when i first moved to USA from the Phlippines

i got "spick" and "spearchucker"

never gook, never chink

they ain't never seen a filipino before and they didn't know WHAT to call me

in 7th grade, a kid i played in a band with called me a spearchucker (jokingly)

i lost total control and threw this heavy distortion pedal (it may have been a wah) at him and that ended that episode

strangely, when i lived in the philippines, i was called "cowboy" (as i was getting beat up) or "han solo"; the latter doesn't sound like an insult but it was HOW it is said

/livejournal

you can refer to urself as a tropic beaner

I consider myself to be Canadian but my parents are both 100% Portuguese. It's weird that I've only been made fun of for it by friends with Italian backgrounds...and always jokingly.....they've called me the usual: Pork Chop, Pork 'n Cheese, etc.....but none of these bother me, they just make me hungry.

Man this is what I loved and missed about Superfuture. The last place on earth where light hearted racism is allowed.

Actually the very word 'racism' to me sounds like an absurd platitude. Biologically speaking, there are no races. I got more in common with the heebs, spics, gooks and nigs than any distance of physical appearance would imply, all yall my motherfuckers.

Himey is a good one. So is war profiteer, central banker...

himey is a classic. the other two are good.

i've heard "kike-mackdaddy," have you? never really understood the compound form. obviously kike, but why the mackdaddy?

my college roommate used to call this one jew boy from the freshman "dorm grandson of lampshade." i think he put a piece of bacon on that guy's jew-bible. or did he put it on some muslim's little muslim-book?

yeah i can't think of any racist attacks on the portuguese either, damn you guys lucked out on the racist vernacular wheel of fortune.

lol @ those "jokes"...I don't think they were trying to attack you for your race.

everytime i happen to be working solo and leave the office to go take a shit i ask the neighbor (who is hawaiian or poly something or other) to sign for any packages that might be coming in. he always ask me "are you gonna go bomb pearl-harbor?"

Biologically speaking, there are no races.

That point of view is actually running out of steam rapidly in the scientific community as it was politically motivated to start with. Ironic, as was the first in depth study of race by 19th century racialist scientists.

When Edward O. Wilson refined sociobiology and started being vocal about his findings, he was attacked by the left and blackmailed. He was even accosted at a lecture with pitcher of water. Now his findings are widely accepted as valid by the scientific community minus a few very vocal, well connected "scientists" still pushing their own agendas.

In a way they're correct. Race doesn't exist within the context of very outdated notions of racialist science, but this is nothing new. Race is this: subtle evolutionary differences in the organism brought about by climactic, dietary, and geographic as well as behavioral genetic differences. If you know anything about darwinism, you know that there are many different kinds of finches. they're different because their bodies are different and their beaks. there's a reason for that. they're not all the same even though they're all finches. they can probably interbreed and their differences subtle, yet we know they're not all the same subspecies of finch.

Science needs to be less political. Race invites politics into science and both the left and right are insanely guilty.

What a coincidence that this discussion should come up; the dissertation I'm currently writing touches upon this subject. Just thought I'd jump in to note that the theory that objectively discernible racial features and traits are affected by geographic and climactic factors is an idea that has been around since Aristotle. What is more, it has been expounded countless times since then, notably by Isidore of Seville in the seventh century, and by numerous Aristotelian scholars in the lead up to the Renaissance in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The concept of race as a social construct, too, is extant, though often implicitly, in literature spanning centuries. Comments on race that are seen here are nothing new; they have been noted since the dawn of human civilization as people looked to define both themselves and those around them.

Back to the dissertation.
