About 10 years ago said a joke using the word Japseye - totally forgetting the bloke at work who worked opposite me was in fact, well Japanese.

I just wondered why everyone looked so shocked - I'll be honest you used it as a word so much as a kid, I'd totally forgotten its meaning.

Anyway, Gary Wong seemed OK about it.

Now, we're all so understanding of other cultures now, when do I get to be in ahuff when someone 'does' my accent - which happens a couple of times a week at least.

Northernophobia.

He missed a trick not being called Gary Wang in this instance

Reminds me of a few years back, in the pub after a game (think it was Brentford) with @tomski and a cockney fella comes over chatting and saying stuff like, "You been here t'watching t'football?  Did you come on t'train".  We humoured him for a minute and asked who he supported.  As soon as he said Man U we both just turned our backs on him and left him stood there on his own.  The t'cunt.

There used to be an interracial porn video in the 90's called "Two Wongs Make a White" I never saw it but I reckon that's got a japseye or two in it.

Always made worse by the fact that they do some poor Yorkshire accent like Michael Palin in the seventies. At least when I do an Indian accent it is based on an accurate depiction of whichever region they may be from without a slight Welsh tinge.

They always go...'ooooh aaaaalright it's 'ooooward' and then laugh, and then I have to laugh. It's fucking infuriating.

I've got to go for dinner (apologies for forgetting my roots) but tomorrow I'll post the most offensive piss take of the North by those in the arts who basically every other thing is fine, nut being Northern - yeah laugh as much as you want.

It's amazing how I manage to keep going in all honesty.

The things I do.

Anyway is Michael Sheen in Nye tonight - because I'm soooo working class - up the NHS!

The Tories are the most right wing they have ever been yet they are now not right wing enough for some. Bonkers.

What a load of utter fucking drivel. Not surprising from you.

They are co close to the right wing of the Labour Party right now you couldn't fit a cigarette paper between them. Get off the fucked up skunk class A's FFS.

Ill come back to this

Would you agree some of the language from recent senior members of government wouldnt have been tolerated in the past

 

When would you argue they were more right wing (maybe substitute vile racist scum, for right wing, for the purposes of this question)

You are becoming a complete imbecile mate. "Vile racist scum"? Like the antisemites in the Labour Party? Thought not.

I did suggest moving away from right wing to racist 😀 Yes, rank stupidity.

Anyway, worst ever or not, the worlds changed, for the better imo, and minority groups shouldnt have to put up with the shit of the 70s and 80s and some of the language needs consigning to history

Not for the better IMO. A civil war is coming but you are too blind to see it.

When does the majority no longer have to put up with shit?

I (genuinely) have Japanese relatives and am utterly offended.

Where do I apply for compensation?
