Some do, I'm sure. Just as some go out of their way to be offensive.i beleive people go out of their way to take offence
Lord no! It was awful. Like Mike and Bernie Winters. Awful. There should be a special hellish place reserved .

Personally, I don't think it matters where someone comes from, what colour they are or what they believe in, provided that they integrate with, and contribute to, the community in which they have chosen to live.
I also think that there's a big difference between gentle micky taking / nicknames, and out-and-out racism.
Here in North Wales, where coloured folk (particularly in rural areas) are pretty rare, there's a farmer who's clearly had a dash of the tar brush somewhere in his ancestry. He's known to everyone, in Welsh, as "Dyn du" [which translates as "black man"] with no offence meant or taken.
Hi ABThe reason the Sock Puppet , aka The Hair , Trudeau is getting raked over the coals is that he has proved to be a total hypocrite . He has wagged his finger at everyone , at home and abroad , for any PC transgressions , however slight . Black Face is in bad taste and alienates a lot of people , black , white and all shades in between . He has proved to be corrupt , a shameless liar and a hypocrite of the highest order . Personally , I despise the man , he embodies all that is wrong with Canadian politics . He has stood by and said nothing while the Quebec legislature passed bill 21 . It is now law in Quebec . Basically , it is illegal to wear any religeous symbols if you work in school boards , or other government jobs . This includes crosses , turbans , burkas or any other symbol . Some may agree with this law , personally , I think it's just another form of segregation that will deepen the divide . The thing that infuriates me about this is the fact that if this bill would have been tabled in Alberta , the howls of protest and indignation from the liberals and fellow travelers in eastern Canada would have been deafening . But since it's Quebec , where Trudeau and a lot of others get their votes from , it's OK to be a racist . I'll stop here as I can feel a rant coming on . All I can say is I'll be glad to see Trudeau and the rest of the Liberal party thrown out of office Oct . 21rst . He is a national embarassment .

Sorry. The language comes from reading too many John Buchan novels. A phrase he used in one of his short stories. Might have been in "The Green Wilderbeast", but can't remember for sure.You just cannot mention that dash thing Tim it's racist.
Hi AB
You obviously have a better handle on the guy than myself and he may be an absolute t1t that's not my point, my point is that its not right to the snowflakes in one instance but the same folks seem to turn a blind one when the balls rolling in the other direction..
"People of colour" seems to be some American thing. I've never known any black person from what was or is still a nation of our British Commonwealth described themselves as other than being Jamaican, Antiguan, Vincentian, Nigerian or their "tribe" in Nigeria...black. But never ever as themselves being "of colour". I think it is an American think. And in South African it is something totally different from being African. Whilst on descriptions my late father used to refer to Mike and Bernie Winters as "a pair of unfunny Jews". Which whilst probably correct, certainly in the last part, wasn't maybe politically correct.

Guess I'm well and truly stuffed if thinking of running for a seat in Parliament!
