errrr have you been to SJW school or something. Never have i read so much BS. Im so bored of this drivel............
You can literally read the etymology of its use..
How is.. i give up... i hope you are joking to wind people up, i do have a head ache. So sorry.
Caporegime
What else does it refer to?
Caporegime
British sailors, i still dont know if you are serious? i have to assume you are not. "Sailors" or "British" are not races....
Caporegime
Errrrrrrkkkkk Incorrect. It initially did,
"Limey is a predominantly North American slang nickname for a British person. It originally referred to British sailors."
Who's special? Who is? Yes you are. Yes you are!

I am a Limey to them (even as a Scot) and they are Yanks to me.

Im not replying because you are right, im not replying because i think your thought process is odd.
Having a nationality doesn't make you a race, or an indicator of your race other than your stereotypes and presumptions. (Except Jews? Are they not special, i dont know. Probably.)
i honestly hate the subjuct to go on more and my pizza is here soon i hope.... very hungry.

nothing "racist" about it.

No, you're not replying because you're wrong. You've been proven wrong and don't have big enough balls to admit it.
Here's a dictionary definition for you...
race 1
(rās)
n.
1. A group of people identified as distinct from other groups because of supposed physical or genetic traits shared by the group. Most biologists and anthropologists do not recognize race as a biologically valid classification, in part because there is more genetic variation within groups than between them.
2. A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution.
And any number of employers who’ll google him and take a disliking and a bunch of professions that will now be a no go.
He’s got a career as a dodgy spiv to look forwards to when he could have been a doctor.

Nothing about balls. More i suspect to do with age and the dilution of anything with meaning to newer "inclusive" happy meanings that are meant to appease everyone.
So if a white american calls a white brit a limey, thats racist. Well F me. I dont care, you are right, 100% right, very big balls.
THis might explain why the world is a very weird place. Jesus im only 40 and ive officially lost the meaning of basic English words. Its embarrassing.

your ignorance is embarrassing.
things have changed a lot to make everyone more inclusive as we are all different.
100 years ago women didn't work. now pretty much all women work.
50 years ago it was okay and common to call someone the n word or p word.
30 years ago homosexuals couldn't get married. now they can.
it's nothing to do with appeasing. but it's unsurprising a middle aged heterosexual middle aged white man thinks the world has gone mad as everyone wants to be treated equally like he is and has been his whole life.

Jesus I genuinely feel sorry for you. The first person ever on the forum.
Thx for the history lesson though.

Yes or at least despised by friendly, family and anybody who meets him in the future and looks him up.
Basically "race" is unscientific and essentially meaningless.
Incidentally, I've never heard anyone talking about the "British race" or the "German race" or the "Indian race". Never. I've heard the "Aryan race" mentioned a couple times in the context of Hitler's racial superiority views. I've heard people talking about "racism" wrt black v white, and these days even racism against religion.
I think it's safe to say it's all bullocks, mate. Completely unscientific. The fact that you can now be racist against religion is especially amusing.
You should know your history Limey is taunt/slang that is the same pommy they both refer to people on the British mainland. The various groups of British that settled America and Australia have rivalry and that was the slang.
The reason they were called limey is scurvy was the bane of all sailors until the British navy started using limes and that was the boost they needed now British sailors could go about thier job without thier teeth falling out. Limey has no racial merits because it is an inter-British slang among people of the same group.

No sorry I suspect you are either too old or not sjw enough to understand this subject....
Or Possibly too small balled?
The goal posts of stupidity have moved. Let's not invite more stunning history lessons.

Here we go - another media story about some random young kid with no financial experience supposedly making lots of money through "trading" - I have no idea who this person is but I'm going to assume it's very likely BS and I'd really not be surprised if he's somehow involved in affiliate marketing or selling advice etc..

Why do these "journalists" keep on promoting this sort of stuff seemingly without doing any basic fact checking?

Can make lots of money dealing drugs too. It's also "risky" and of dubious merit to society.
What does have to do with anything here? The thread is about these people posing with flash cars etc.. claiming to be "traders" when they mostly seem to be focused on gaining subscribers/referals.
