Racist Jokes

I think that most ppl in JC who know me will Know that any form of prejudice, be it racial, sexual, religious or of any other type makes me go off like the proverbial rocket. So called racist jokes in particular are extremely offensive.

However, i also feel that it is necessary to take into consideration the person who has told the so called offensive joke. I truly doubt that Welsh Fem 1 would have meant it in any way offensive.

Further more, while I have never seen the name of the chatter who found it offensive in the room, it does seem to me that the person themselves is drawing attention to their colour by the use of that chat name. Whilst there is nothing wrong in being proud of your own heritage I not that very few ppl would call themselves white chocolate or any other connotation of that name.

Wordsworth, a chatter i have met, like and respect, does not see the need to draw attention to his colour. He is what he is, as are we all.

Eve – my mate is not black!!! Her name has nothing to do with the colour of her skin! Why presume it is?

A newbie who doesn’t know welsh fem and my mate doesn’t, won’t know that welsh is not a racist and meant no harm by it. Look at the bigger picture.

I am mixed race and whereas I don’t find it overly offensive, a public chat forum is not the time or the place to tell jokes that can offend. It’s not a good advert for welsh’s beloved JC at all. Amongst friends and family it could be used as a humourous interlude but not on here.
