at the end of the school year last year, someone found a giant swastica and things like "heil hitler" and shit like that were found in the stall of a bathroom. i knew it was a joke, since nobody is openly antisemetic at school, but i could be wrong
nobody ggets called a jew at our school. theyd be kicked out instantly since our school is so small.
Uhm no. Using *jew* or whatever simpleton remark as an insult definitely qualifies you as a Grade A moron. I couldn't care less how the moron dresses though.Quote:

someone a jew means you have social problems or wear the same
clothes as other people.....
Never seen someone use the word Jew in a demeaning way in real life (ie: school), but that's because I live in Israel. It's just a thing of being cool with the community, if someone does it, then the next joins in, and soon enough, the whole school, state, or country use it as an insult.
In my language, the worst insults are those that claim you to be a fag. There are people though, in my school, that call others arabs as an insult.

Yet you still thought to make a point of how the "Grade A moron" dresses.
I think he just meant to use it as a way to describe the stereotypical moron he was trying to portray.
The point was not in how he dresses, it was that this type of moron usually does not have original thought or character. The dress bit was just an example since in everyday life it is one of the most RAMPANT example of how people have lost their character. The moron dress code was a satirical simple example that most people would identify with in order to grasp the actual POINT of that paragraph which was their inherent lack of character.
Now to clear things up this does not mean that someone with a very strong character canot be racist or ellitist either. It is as I said most commonly the case, but not exclusively the case. While I find the 'lost' and copycat idiot racist to be more irritating it is the actual hate filled and intelligent racist that usually is the worst. They usually wont fling around cuss words that openly though.
I do get your point, yes the point I was trying to make is totally
unrelated to racism, but you still brought up the issue of how people
dress.
Basically you were saying all people that dress "normally" have no
personality, and I was saying that, if I said all people who don't dress
"normally" are freaks or something similar you would say something.
The point I'm trying to make is double standards.
i barely noticed <><> brought up dressing like other people or an mtv vj, did he perhaps hit a bit too close to home?Quote:

i notice you didn't bring up the fact he also mentioned what music the common moron likes.
In Scotland, we usually just beat people up that we don't like, and not bother with calling them names (probably why we have the highest rate of assault charges in Europe)
However there are names we do use, usually insulting the subjects mother, by putting her in a degradig situation.
You are going to make me quote Lewis Carrol again.Quote:

I said: People that have no personality, usually dress like the current fad.
Which is NOT equal to saying:
People that dress like the current fad have no personality.
Now besides this "I mean what I say and I say what I mean" detail, I still want to point out that what you are focusing on is a theoretical EXAMPLE to show a point, and you are not addressing the point itself.
Double standards have absolutely NOTHING to do with what I was saying as I was not critisizing the way they dress ot talk but their REASONS for doing so. Trying to categorize people by the way they look is kind of like the ideological cousin of racism.
