Pete, it's rude to say "they" when referring to other cultures. You should have said, "The educationally unique posters on that forum certainly use interesting language. I cherish and celebrate that."Pete said:They
Thank you for your cooperation

I understand my remark will make me a target, but that doesn't concern me. What concerns me is that some people here don't realize the significance of their comments that are directed at a culture that they don't understand. That to me is the "Good Ol Boy" mentality. Take it or leave it....
How was Pete's remark even directed toward another culture??? Pete was referring (as I read it) to the posters on that forum.....IMO it is ignorant of you to a.) assume all the posters are from a different culture than Pete, b.) assume that Pete meant his observation in a negative way.....queencity28 said:Had I named exclusively Pete, then an apology would be in order.

I don't get it, that word is offensive to me (and I understand you are commenting about another board), and I don't care if a white person or a black person says it, it's no less offensive.Pete said:They like to say "*****" alot don't they?
You don't seem to mind it when I start out my demands to you by saying "Hey, N......, go get me my morning paper", or "Hey, N......, how 'bout making me some Aunt Jemaima pancakes for breafest", or Hey, N......don't you think it's about time you wash and wax my truck for me"? I always thought that you sorta liked it. :shrug:itsbob said:I don't get it, that word is offensive to me (and I understand you are commenting about another board), and I don't care if a white person or a black person says it, it's no less offensive.
No, I find it very offensive that you start off ever sentence with "Hey Nancy.....!!"BadGirl said:You don't seem to mind it when I start out my demands to you by saying "Hey, N......, go get me my morning paper", or "Hey, N......, how 'bout making me some Aunt Jemaima pancakes for breafest", or Hey, N......don't you think it's about time you wash and wax my truck for me"?

OMG ya'll are too muchitsbob said:No, I find it very offensive that you start off ever sentence with "Hey Nancy.....!!"

But I thought that your name was Nancy. Damn, I've been wrong all this time.itsbob said:No, I find it very offensive that you start off ever sentence with "Hey Nancy.....!!"
You should be able to call him Nancy if you want. If he weren't so intolerant and mono-cultural he wouldn't mind a bit - in fact, he'd treasure the opportunity to embrace differences.BadGirl said:But I thought that your name was Nancy.

I protest! Ma'am, my cluelessness about pop culture knows no ethnicity. I haven't seen any of the Matrix movies. Does that make me bigoted against Keanu Reeves?Did you know he was born in Beirut? What do you have against Lebanese actors?Tonio said:Does that make me bigoted against Keanu Reeves?
