Monday, September 21, 2009 6:58:20 AM >K10josumm >arguing semantics is pointless. if you cant avoid >racism 100% then why avoid it at all?Err, because racism is bad and should be prevented wherever possible? Use your argument and replace racism with any of the following Murder Rape Theft We cant avoid these 100%, so why bother avoiding them at all |

Monday, September 21, 2009 4:13:02 AM "Because chiggers are a type of insect -_-"So? A 'chink' is a weakness, an onomatopoeia/frail things hitting each other. What's your point? |

Sunday, September 20, 2009 9:55:06 PM > lemmingboy15 > word [can't] be racist if it isn't in context since it has multiple meanings. gook on the other hand i would have considered racistGook: sludge; any thick, viscous matter. Fact is, almost every racial-slur word has a legitimate meaning; words weren't just invented to describe people, they evolved from things those people did, looked like, or were know for. Although to my knowledge, Australian aborigines aren't known for eating a lot of Coon Cheese... |

Sunday, September 20, 2009 8:07:06 PM Chink is a racial slur for a person of Chinese descent. Chink may also mean a small crevice or opening, often referring to a weakness such as a "chink in the armor", but also in purely descriptive contexts such as a chink between two bricks. The latter term is uncontroversial, since it predates the ethnic slur, though the slur may have origins from the original meaning. The usage of the word as an ethnic slur has sparked contemporary controversies in public and popular media. |

Sunday, September 20, 2009 3:16:12 PM Eh captcha's... sometimes they are just unintentionally amusing. There are other words that have normal meanings that could pop up and appear racist. That's why I never buy Spic and Span cleaning supplies. |
