I got banned from an IRC room recently for using the word "JAP."
Apparently its "offensive" and insensitive to people from Japan (of which i know a fair few and none of them have ever heard of anyone in their nation being offended by getting called a "Jap")
Im not allowed to use Brainstorm at work instead we have to "thoughshower" so as not to offend the sensabilities of those of an epleleptic persuation...
This got me to thinking, im from the west of scotland where sectarianism is rife, auld firm games are amazing at work because the bigotry really shines through.
Apparently im a dirty orange hun, cream bun eatting redhanded proddy bastard etc this is apparently derogatory termanology from the beadrattling fenian, taigue famine ridden catholic scum.
Celtic wins and more often than not the workplace becomes flled with the fields of athenry.
Rangers win and its the same with the sash.
The management seem to go seriously off their nuts when any of this is mentioned, however its all done in good spirits. no one even remotely takes any of it personaly and whenever anyone starts singing "low lie the fields of athenry" the common response is to belt out "I AM A LOYAL IRISHMAN" in true sash military cadance.
Not exactly a big deal, everyone shakes hands afterwards and goes down the local and gets pished together.
Same with niggers, kykes and greasers, chinks, spics and tinkers. I work with people from all over the world of every creed, colour, sexual orientation and race. We poke fun at both ourselves and each other. All the whilst working together and having a good time doing it.
Take a south african collegue of mine, a white collegue put on a typical dutch SA accent and got tore into one of the best renditions ive ever heard eventualy rounding up to calling him "a smart Kaffa." everything said in jest. The Kaffa in question was buckled at the knees laughing about it as was everyone else within earshot except the management who went absoloutly apeshit.
To which was responded, "no big deal id rather be a smart kaffa than a dirty soup eating famine dodging mick!" which again had everyone in stitches but only seemed to further the managements rage.
These scenarios play out all the time and ive noticed that none of us proletariat scum working class underedjumakated folks seem to give a toss. life is hard you take your humour where you can get it, if only to make the job remotely bearable.
The only people who seem to have a stick up their ass with regards to political correctness are the bourjois middle classes who think theyre entitled to influence every facet of society.
So i say bollocks to the lot of it, im happy working in my multiracial society where im free to say whatever i feel like. knowing that the only people im remotely offending are the same pansie idiots whove never had to do a hard days graft in their puff. Simply killing time by filling their days preoccupied with championing some deluded cause they see as a threat to the fabric of society.
Taigue, Hun, Nigger, Wog, Greaser, Goomba, Spic, Chink, Jap, Faggot, Dyke who really cares? everyone falls into some kind of "derogatory" term, so what? It still doesnt stop you, me or anyone else from standing shoulder to shoulder as brothers in arms working our fingers to the bone for a shit wage then pounding down the beers afterwards... Unless theyre Musilms, but theyre still more than welcome in my local, i'll even buy em a round of whatever softdrink they want!
Banter is banter, so long as its not said in serious anger with the threat of violence then i'll happily let it slide.
The point is everyone is completely different and that should be celebrated and rejoiced rather than hidden and some wierd taboo. Despite all of the multitude of differences everyones essentialy the same pissed off overworked cog in the machine, exactly as capable as the next. Being colourful about it never hurt anyone. The only reason any of us have at being pissed off at each other is down to someone kicking the baws out of a skive and giving everyone else more work to cover. Hardly a racial dispute.
I dont think ive ever seen anyone being trully racist last all that long, to me racism is determined purely out of someones actions rather than their mouth. Someone calls you something you dont like? BAAAAAAAAAaaawwwwww must be a hard life. The reaction is simple enough, laugh it off and hit them back with a witty one liner and let everyone else have a laugh.
Ive found throughout my life that this makes the world a much friendlier and happier place.
People around here that get pissed off at naming a difference or even worse outright exclude someone because theyre "different" ultimately find that theyre the ones cast out for being morons. The system policies itself, if someones in good spirits about the whole thing and seem to understand its all just a bit of fun to ease the day forward then they fit in nicely.
If not then they ultimately wind up promoted to the dole queue or worse still middle management.
The only real argument ive seen was over a gay guy and someone else picking on him about it, this was easily res
ved with stating that "even if he likes an arse full of cock at least hes getting some, it could be worse he could be an ugly bastard wearing out his palm like yourself."
If you ever feel the need to censure someone or resort to any kind of violence than your clearly the one with the problem, not the other person calling you a dirty orange hun.
So yeah PC can kiss my ass.
Its a device employed by the overly sensative molly coddled middle classes who genuinely have a problem they cant seem to get past.
