A question for all who care to answer.

 

You are visiting somewhere in Aus where quite a few Aboriginies live.

 

In a general conversation between 20 people at a BBQ, an Aboriginie says (on overhearing something you say)

"What would "you" whities know about that" or "Whites thinking they know better", both said in a put down, racist way.

 

Question

 

1. Would you be offended ?

2. Would you say anything back ?

3. If so, what would you say ?

 

I have another scenario but will do that later.

Oh dear! As mortally offended and outraged as I would be at such a heinous racial slur...I'd probably just move on.

After all...in my 60-odd years, I've been called far, far worse! But luckily, my thick skin has managed to keep me from too much harm over the years.

Being called white (which I am )wouldn't at all feel offensive to me , however intended, but then being white has never historically been seen as being a disadvantage in thw way being of color has.

Beinfgof Italian extraction I got called some rather choice ethnic based terms growing up but I rather enjoyed them as it made me feel different rather than ordinary so maybe I'm just not easily offended,

But remember.........

I agree with everything in your post no 84.

84?

 

Or did you mean 64?

 

Or is there something I'm not yet privy to?

Added to all his other talents, he is a seer.

I think the actually word offended is mentioned alot here, (on these moderated boards) as we can't really say what we want to certain kinds of drivel without getting a holiday to eBali.
