[quote="tad rhino"]as you say disgracful and racist. anytime I see the word Brit describing British people I'm going to get very offended from now on[/quote) Perhaps take the time to research the negative connotations as explained in the article I posted above. It is not the simple shortening of the word, it is the huge negative slur used in the second world war and has no place on here or anywhere. I presume then by your logic you are comfortable abbreviating the word Pakistani? Can you not see the weaponised awful intentions of these words? How are we to proceed and grow if we don't call out this stuff and change our behaviour?

I hear the term used multiple times every day, by Pakistanis taking the mickey out of each other. obviously not that offensive to them but I guess you're someone who's always offended by something

Ok lets leave it there. The systemic response when folk are pulled up on using such language. Believe what you want or remain in your bubble if you like but this language is utterly appalling and the continued privilege of simply explaining it away by saying it is an "ok shortened version" or suggesting clunkiness or that I am somehow overreacting shows we have not really come very far at all. Nobody, NOBODY, should be using such terms.

I again suggest you read the article I posted about Jamie Vardy and the historical context. Japanese lad is ok I suppose but I'd probably just call him by his actual name ideally. It's pretty easy.

You’ve not pulled me up on anything? Nothing to do with me bud I’m just trying to calm matters.

Anyway looking ahead… it’s a must win game this weekend, already 5 behind top. Need to win next 3 really as tough run coming up in October. Could make or break even this early
