There is no way the UK is as racist as this forum.

It just doesn't equate to what I get from people in numbers in real life.

It may be for some grumbles, for the rest its a minority making a lot of noise to a big audience.

The part in bold sums up what I think about the 'racist' part of the forum. It's incredibly small really, rarely ever more than the 10 or less usual suspects and how many of us are that contribute to the forum in other ways? :)

Would be a shame to tar all of OCUK with that brush - it's a great community.

NOW MAKE ME A DON AND PASS ME MY BAN SCEPTRE *GRRR*
 
As casual racism has been brought into the thread I'll leave this here..........



Apparently I cant say "Black Paint" any more :/

I now have to say "Paint the wall please Leroy"

:D

Not quite as much, recently I've been pretty flat out with work and it's interfering with my posting. I'll be having words with work in the New Year to get their priorities sorted out. ;)

I'm also rather deliberately trying not to post as much in the threads about religion/immigration/race/Scottish independence as I've had my fill of them for the moment. The arguments aren't holding my attention and I've heard most of them before so I figure I might as well let other people who are still interested have at it. :)

Haha, you put them in their place :D

I'm similar in that I post a lot less these days because I don't get myself actively involved in debates as you mention. We've pretty much done all the topics to death over the years so we might as well leave them to the likes of Castiel to mop them all up :p

I dissagree.

They draw a lot of sympathisers.

I agree there are a handful of proponents.

It's the supportive racism that crawls out from the woodwork after that.

I'm not tarring OcUK with it.

OcUK tarred itself.

Why do asian people smell?

What else is that going to attract or promote but bigotry, racism and extreme views?

Well I'm sorry you think that way, I guess I just have the mindset that I take what I like and quite happily leave (or laugh at) what I don't.
 
On the whole, yes the mods here are fine. however one or two if them seem a little too eager to hand ou t48 hours bans for minor things.

Take the above quote for instance, I once failed to fully star out a very minor swear word in a post & received a 2 day ban. No warning or anything, yet I see other getting away with it all the time.

Guess it's who you know on here.
 
My ban finger is twitchy, do you fancy a holiday Gimpy?

You left in 2 letters of the swear word - partially starred will get you a holiday.

OcUK has always attracted mainly people from the right, from conservatism across to outright racism and fascism.

Shame, and I've never really understood why.

I don't think it is representative of society, the number of opinions aired here, only that we seem to dredge a lot of **** from the bottom of the ocean that turns up in our forums?

At last, someone that agrees with me :D
