Yotatech forum racist warning (banned)

[Rustinho]

Whatever you do, don't say that the truck feels a bit NIPpy! (Apart that this would be a total outright lie with most Surfs!)

And certainly never say that the weather is "a bit Pearl Harbour today" (ie there's a nip in the air!)

Damn - I worked with scousers for too long. "The Geeeeermans bombed our chippy" etc...

Sounds to me like somebody WANTED to be offended by it.

What is the difference between saying Jap, Brit, Aussie, etc...?

Tell them grow a thicker skin!

[POPEYE]

For God's sake don't ever say Yanks then!!

Oh dear!! i just did, thats my yotatec membership down the pan then

[POPEYE]

Dont worry about it, the yanks are ultra cautious about getting sued, i used the term "Jap" before, dont see owt wrong with it, i aint offended at being called a "brit" or even "limey", honkey, whitey or what ever,
but you put an add on telly showing a cadbury's cream egg in Gandi's turban then whoa!!!! thats a whole other noise!! those feckers take offence at the least thing, odd really as they (the muslims) regularly run anti jewish cartoons in their papers,



F##K em

I've recieved a "racial slur" warning at Yotatech for shortening the word Japanese Import to Jap Import.
I really didn't think or associate the three letter word to be a racial slur. I've seen it used plenty of times before on websites. Is it racist?

Obviously I will remember not to shorten Japanese again as I have obviously offended someone! But also receiving a warning as a new member of a forum is a little bit of a surprise too!
