And your point is?

The disclaimer is probably going on about this or Borat's YouTube clip.

Why no disclaimer for Limeys, Micks, Frogs, Krauts, Chinks, Japs or Spics? No sue-happy ADL looking out for those peeps.

Hmm. "kike" gets no such warning. I've not yet tried rotzeefutzganger.

mkpdavies · 03-05-2008, 02:19 PM

I didn't even know Jew was offensive.

Akria · 03-05-2008, 05:14 PM

It's mainly referring to the 'Jew Watch' site, which is extremely anti-semitic.
I think the reason it has a warning is because 'Jew' is a fairly neutral search term, whereas the others you listed are intended to be offensive, even if only mildly.

Bear, wrongly so, Jews probably found that bit funny as well. It was done to make a point ironically and was an attack on anti-Semtitism over the centuries. Life of Brian was very much a parody of our time and our politics. Anyone who has been involved at any level in UK politics will recognise the characters in this scene:

This sums up the current split in the English nationalists:

Quote:

BRIAN:
Are you the Judean People's Front?
REG:
**** off!
BRIAN:
What?
REG:
Judean People's Front. We're the People's Front of Judea! Judean People's Front. Cawk.
FRANCIS:
*******.
BRIAN:
Can I... join your group?

REG:
No. **** off.
BRIAN:
I didn't want to sell this stuff. It's only a job. I hate the Romans as much as anybody.
PEOPLE'S FRONT OF JUDEA:
Shhhh. Shhhh. Shhh. Shh. Shhhh.
REG:
Schtum.
JUDITH:
Are you sure?
BRIAN:
Oh, dead sure. I hate the Romans already.
REG:
Listen. If you really wanted to join the P.F.J., you'd have to really hate the Romans.
BRIAN:
I do!
REG:
Oh, yeah? How much?
BRIAN:
A lot!
REG:
Right. You're in. Listen. The only people we hate more than the Romans are the ******* Judean People's Front.
P.F.J.:
Yeah...
JUDITH:
Splitters.
P.F.J.:
Splitters...
FRANCIS:
And the Judean Popular People's Front.
P.F.J.:
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Splitters. Splitters...
LORETTA:
And the People's Front of Judea.
P.F.J.:
Yeah. Splitters. Splitters...
REG:
What?
LORETTA:
The People's Front of Judea. Splitters.
REG:
We're the People's Front of Judea!
LORETTA:
Oh. I thought we were the Popular Front.
REG:
People's Front! C-huh.
FRANCIS:
Whatever happened to the Popular Front, Reg?
REG:
He's over there.
P.F.J.:
Splitter!

Not our time, their time. Our time is different, not so innocent, and actually rather nasty.

As regards the use of such terms, for those today who are capable of joined up thinking I agree, but as with common sense in people, the ability to employ joined up thinking is a rare thing indeed in most.

Not only that, but it opens a door for the knuckle draggers to sneak in their racist venom using the “Only Joking” excuse when challenged and then quoting such things as proof and support of their faux claims and nastiness.

Recently (like this AM and on another subject) I’ve been accused of being Politically Correct.

The irony is that I’m probably one of the least PC people around, but what I am sensitive to is the PC mindset having been on the wrong end of it more than once as well as the way that evil people will use every opportunity to spread their venom.

Material such as we are dealing with here from more innocent days, when the racists were more brazen and not so snide, is dangerous in the extreme precisely because the racist filth can hide behind it and use it as an excuse for their own ends.

That is why it should not be used just as the name of the dog in the film The Dam Busters had to be censored. Not just because it is now an offensive word but because allowing it to go unchecked will be taken advantage of by the racial supremacists.
