[El Diablo]

[strider]

[strider]

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
You look like a...............

I don't know whether to laugh at that or consider that you are serious. Not being condascending, just a little confused.

Bit different comparing a couple of school kids singing that, to two pissed blokes speaking to a coloured NRL footballer who's team is smashing their own. I don't think I can be convinced that in this case, it was meant to be anything BUT racial.

Suity

 

[yy_cheng]

Yeah strides is right, Twizz was called Planet of the Apes or something along those lines.

So yeah, caucasions have been called monkeys.

 

[Suitman]

Suity, You are a monkey...

:lol:

:lol::lol:

There's always a first..

Suity

 

[yy_cheng]

Oh I get it, monkey suit

 

[Suitman]

Yeah strides is right, Twizz was called Planet of the Apes or something along those lines.

That's where you're all wrong.

Twiz actually IS a monkey. :lol:

Suity

 

[yy_cheng]

Yeah, In chinese Caucasians are called Ghosts.
But the usual term I hear is "you white bastard"

You made a comment about being white and never having been called that and I disagreed. That was all.

I am not disagreeing that the term is racist. I don't know why it is, but it is. Petero would not have done what he did if he wasn't deeply offended by it.

Fair enough, and I agree totally on your thoughts regarding Petero.

[fish eel]

I wish we had Petero. He and Fui together. Wow.

But not wanting to be racially discriminating myself and not reading the other thread, why is calling him a Monkey racial?

It's like me calling Suity a dog or Fish a Manly fan.

:lol:

But, in reality, it's hardly a term of endearment, is it?
Rhys Wesser was also called a black bastard.

Suity

but it's not racial.

Yeah strides is right, Twizz was called Planet of the Apes or something along those lines.

Calling someone of dark skin certainly is racist.

It has been done throughout history to people of dark skin, particuarly those of African descent, by white people, as means of putting them down. Calling them a monkey has the historical context of telling them they are less than human, that they are the same as the most primative primate.

I can understand how someone could see it as not racist, but you need to put it in the context. Its all well and good saying Twizzle is a monkey, or quoting some happy birthday song, but it doesnt have the same context does it?

And quite frankly, if the person who the remark is directed at feels racially vilified by it, particuarly when it is someone as respected as Petro, then who the f**k are anyone of us to dispute the intention behind the sledge?

omfg!! - chill pill .... as if references to twizz or birthday songs weren't meant to be jokes :crazy:

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

One thing we are also forgetting is that people like Petero...nobody likes Twizz.....

 

[bartman]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]“We are doing everything possible to identify the person and I would like to appeal to them to come forward voluntarily so that they can apologise directly to Petero.[/FONT]

Now that's something I'd pay to see covered by ParraTV ;-)

 

[half]

i would like to thank petero for his apology but i'm very concerned for his welfare. spilling beer is a clear sign you've had too much to drink
