It's still racist bullshit, doesn't matter if it's stupidity or hatred at the root of it.

Im aware of that, as I said they're often indistinguishable. In the rare case that it's just purely being so utterly loving stupid that alcohol poisoning is an improvement over conversation treating them like the prick they're being can occasionally get the point accross that it's not on.

There are people who genuinely think "negro" is some kind of detached, inoffensive way to refer to a black person.

Basically these sort of people, they're stupefyingly dumb but they don't actually realise they're dickheads and sometimes telling them does help.

edit: don't just yell wildly though, have a quiet word in their ear eg. "mate stop being a prick, negro's like calling them a oval office"

I think it's just that he's a Bulldogs supporter, and they're all going loving nuts here.

I can't decide if I want them to win just so that they can finally experience victory again, or if I want them to lose just to drink in the sadness of dashed hopes.

It's generally an old person thing, they're worried and don't think black, African American (:ughh:) is appropriate so they think being "scientific" sounding (it's just Spanish for black ffs) is the best approach. Same people will usually say dwarf in all cases to avoid midget.

Same, but its a fun thing to happen. Certainly a lot more fun than Hawthorn in the GF yet again. And the game the Bulldogs won to get there was truly epic.

My grandpa always uses 'homosexuals' instead of gay/LGBTI/whatever. He's really progressive for an 80-something y/o so your explanation makes sense

Not really on the same level I don't think. I definitely wouldn't be offended by it, hell I probably use it, it's just a bit clunky.

I still feel weird saying 'gay' - in the 80's it was a pejorative, the proper term was 'homosexual'. I understand how really old people feel when they get fed up with the definition of words changing, but the fact is the definition of words change.

It still is a pejorative, in certain contexts. Over the last five years or so I've seen pushback against using 'gay' as synonymous with 'bad', probably because we are now honestly confronting the homophobic socialization we were all immersed in for most of the last century, with all the flow-on effects that had on our language.

I don't know how much of this is my own personal observation, but I find the word 'homosexual', at least as a noun, is generally used by people with anti-gay beliefs who use the term as kind of a dispassionate clinical title for LGBT people, behind which they conceal their pathetic prejudices. That's why you hear 'radical homosexuals' so frequently from anti-gay religious types. It's a way to avoid thinking of gay folks as actual people.

The rainbow light from gay propaganda interacted with solar particles emanating from wind turbines because of renewable energy emissions getting lodged in cell phone radiation.

That's why the transmission towers were bent like pretzels and churches were de-roofed. It's elementary really and obvious to anyone.

Just be cool and excellent to one another. If you say a word that's uncool but you've got a friendly tone and are being nice otherwise then people will realise its a mistake and let you know.

Queensland's criminal drug manufacturers are being run out of business as cheaper, higher quality narcotics flood through the state's borders, police say.

On Friday, they hailed a decline in meth lab busts in the state that was once infamous for having the highest rate of the dangerous scourge in the country but pointed to a concerning explanation.

Local manufacturers simply couldn't compete with the cheap, pure drugs from overseas.

"We've seen a major downturn of that in Queensland. We used to be the leader in Australia in the detection and charging of people in that kind of activity and there's reasons for that," Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said.
