ok lets just focus on one small point shall we.

YOU find his avator offensive? I mean does it REALLY offend you? If it does then my god you really need to get a life, learn how to take a joke and see that its a picture and nothing more. Its not in your face calling you rude names, its not painted on your house or car (who knows it might actually) and its nothing you cant get rid of by choosing to add him to your ignore list.

I don't think it's racist and to be honest don't understand how someone could ask the question in the first place.

Which brings me nicely onto another matter. My Aunt visited last night (she's in her 70's) from Nottinghamshire and attached to her handbag was an old marmalade jar style knitted gollywog. And you know what the first thing that came into my mind? I hope that she doesnt offend anyone with it. She wouldn't offend anyone, she never has and never would.

Is having a knitted gollywog attached to your handbag at a ripe old age racist?

i think there was a small association with racism but back in the 80's but its never been bought back for that reason either. its nostalgia ruined for alot of people.

thanks for the negative karma B.R. :)

Don't know ... didn't understand a word of it ... some sort of code, maybe:confused: If you put a couple of "eh"s into it, a Canadian might understand it:D

How can the statement be racist when it doesn't even refer to anyone's race? Those who don't celebrate Christmas, follow this course of action because of their religion, not because of their race. Those who do celebrate Christmas come from many different races and many different countries. Don't see where race comes into it. :confused:

Isn't that something Yoda said in "The Empire Strikes for Better Pay"? :rolleyes: Talking of "kettle" isn't this something like a storm in a tea cup?:confused: I think everyone has a grasp of what racism is; when people get super sensitive about it, it tends to lose its meaning, and racism is seen in the most innocuous and innocent of statements. Rather than waste time and energy nit picking and twisting innocent statements into rascist slurs, people should address the real problems. And there are no shortage of those.
