you asked why it was regarded as a racist term and i told you...Eversmallx said:so when my asian m8s call other people paki's etc? thats racists..?
what does your comment have to do with anything?
i was simply solidifying the point that its the context in which the words are used
if i was to say the sentance in a zoo "there's alot of monkeys in this cage", in reference to monkeys it is a innocent comment.
Now if i was to use the exact same term for a prison cell that houses some coloured dude's, the context is completely different, hence it is a racial slur
i really dont see what is so complicated about that :S
