wat are your views of derogatory terms as in wog etc.?

[vickista]

i dont like them because as suggested in the title they are derogatory but i've been called things like things like things and i think its disgraceful that racism still exists in todays society.

Wog is an interesting one. Here in the UK it was very offensive. Now it is still offensive, but it is so obsolete that it is more used ironically than anything else.

Like "Sambo" or "Golly."

However, I remember reading that in Australia it was supposedly less offensive, IE the lame Ozzie movie "Wogboy"...

I think Germaine Greer was talking about it in the Guardian...

Either way, when it comes to ethnic slurs, I take a "sticks and stones" approach. But then, being white, and in an ostensibly white community, I guess it is easy for me to laugh off racial slurs, as I am never really the victim of racial prejudice.

well, actually u r but not in ur face its more like wog and others can be very offensive just depends on what else is in the sentence and the tone etc. ignore the movie thats not how it really is, but yea i mean everyone critisizes other races behind ther back but its saying it to there face and publicly disrespecting there race/country/heritage that is offensive.

you dont know how many ppl i've considered beating up over racial slurs,its rude,degrading and extremly inaprorpiate.(i've never actually beat anyone up though lol, but seeing as i do karate i could, but i wldnt)

Ethnic slurs list - everyone has a favourite, so what's yours?

I think my favourite racial slur has to be "Octaroon" because it is just so profoundly pointless.

Skip or Skippy – a (sometimes derogatory) term for an Australian of Anglo-Celtic descent. Chiefly used in large cities by young people of Southeast European or Asian descent. Probably a reference to the famous 1960s children's television programme Skippy the Bush Kangaroo which featured a predominantly Anglo-Celtic cast.

yeah, i'd never use it as an offensive word, only descriptive.
