Asking someone where they are from

dowie said:
Well, yes... I mean less so if you're just wearing the shirt but certainly not uncommon for kids to want to buy and wear the full kit of their favorite team and indeed get the name & number of their favorite player put on it.

Yes I was just wearing the shirt, so is that a no?

According to the arguments (or really just venting) of some posters in here that she's not just blindly accepting that the interaction was racist and is pointing out some facts/context and making a different argument means that yes, she must be racist!

what a time to be alive eh. i can't really get my head around the idea of a black woman being racist towards another black woman but it's certainly added to the entertainment value :cry: :cry:

Black people can be xenophobic towards other blacks, not necessarily racist though. There has been long-standing rivalry between e.g. Nigerians and Jamaicans.

EDIT: Actually I have heard blacks shout racist abuse at each other, so it does happen.

i'm gonna say yes. tis the main reason i only wear a football top to play a game of footy or watch my team on tv. i wear the top to emulate and show my support for the players and the team i follow.......so it kind of is a larp when you think about it.

unless of course if you're a chav who thinks a football top is a piece of normal every day dress :p (that's a jk btw, well the chav bit anyway)

There’s a difference between supporting and larping around as a, say Brazilian professional footballer, if I decide to pull out my Brazil top if Brazil make the finals. (If not against England)

nah not buying it dude. as kids we wanted to wear our teams top so we could pretend to be our favourite player when having a kick about on the playground. as adults we aren't supposed to behave like that so we pretend we wear them just to support the team. you know full well if i stick down a couple of jumpers for goal posts and get a group of us together you'll be wearing your favourite players top and copying his celebrations when (if) you score :p

edit: long and short of it - if you're wearing a footy top you be larping whether you want to admit that or not :p :p :p

Lol probably a bad example, it’s a larp :D

But bad example aside, what you wear doesn’t necessarily mean your larping around as that which was the point.

Yes indeed, I guess if you're OK with racism so long as it's deemed socially acceptable then that's on you.


Elizabeth has kept her muggle name rather than changing it to a Nigerian one and allegedly isn't sufficiently pure blood enough for the charity chief.

Ever heard the phrase, 2 wrongs don't make a right

It sounds like you're trying to justify one form of racism because of another form racism it doesn't work that way

“Enjoying” might be a little bit of a stretch, but it’s definitely been interesting.

Well, interesting in the same kind of way as when you slow down a little while driving past a car crash anyway.

A car crash where half of the passengers are doing their utmost to find ever increasingly bizarre technicalities that they think allow them to avoid calling the car crash a car crash. ;)

“Ahem, ackhtually it’s not a car crash because one of the vehicles was a van and no one ever intended to crash… Can you really be accused of having crashed if you never intended to crash?” :p

In this case we are. Do you know how many times I have asked someone where they are from and just at the end I think. God I hope they dont think I mean their ancestory.

I have non white friends that I dont even know where their non whiteness comes from because it doesnt matter to me. If you want to talk about your parents or their parents lifes fine.

LOL you're probably the type that thinks no one is ever allowed to say *****/er (begins with n)
