Regrettably this has since happened to another member of staff,this time being referred to as a white nigger bastard.
I have since learned that this is a term that Asian youth use to signify the lowest of the low.
My question dear reader is, does this amount to racial abuse?
Has anyone else ever had this term used against them?
Finally what would response would you have given?
There is a University thesis in this somewhere.  |
the problem we've got is that too many of us choose to ignore this sort of abuse for fear of appearing racist, its absolute rubbish, if the shoe had been on the other foot and you had called them dirty p-ki bastards, your feet wouldn't have touched the floor, you'd have been reported before you could blink. my best friend is black and prefers to be refered to that way, whats the problem she has respect for others and has no problem whatsoever with her colour or anybody elses for that matter, its all about having some respect for others, what planet are these people from!! it makes my blood boil. Report them every time they have the nerve to insult you, its because they get away with it that they carry on doing it.
