Hi all, Can we bring this topic to a close. We had an interesting conversation about name calling, but it is really off topic for the list. Let's get back on topic with gaming. Thanks. On 10/22/14, Stephen whocr...@internode.on.net wrote: and then there's the ultimate insult that scots like

Hi Dark, No, Ishan is from India not South Africa. In any case my intent was not to say anything quite as insulting as Curry-Face which I have heard before and know to be fairly insulting. Even if I hadn't heard it before it would sound insulting just by the context. However, speaking of

Hi Tom. As I saidI am fully aware of your intention here which is okay, it's just I was surprised sinse to me names like curry eater or something similar have always been directed in a racist way towards indians, but as with a lot of things it's about context. Yesterday for example my dad and

you sure about that, because in all the movies the British describers refer fagots as cigarets. i wish you guys would actually use the words that fit the definitions instead of making them up as you go. That would make understanding much easier. At 05:56 AM 10/22/2014, you wrote: Hi Tom. As

Hi Tim. Your incorrect, the word for cigarettes is fags, f a g s, which in British English is not the least related to the word faggot, anymore than the word man is related to the word mantle. the definitions have not changed and remain the same, it's just that Americans do not use the same

Dear Mr. Ward, Don't you think that the phrase Curry muncher is a bit offensive? According to Myth Information: A Compendium of 590 Popular Misconceptions, Falicies, and Misbeliefs, curry was developed as a British dish, and is not originally Indian. My personal opinion is that it is not

Hi Thomas, So I guess he calls you champion for Wheaties, the breakfast of champions. And you call him Curry-Muncher, because that is what they eat in India? I might just rename Pacman to Curry-Muncher who travels aroun eating Wheaties and four champion ghosts hunt him down in a maze. smiles,

Hi Tom. This is probably a cultural thing, but in England I've often heard things like Curry face or similar remarks about indian food, used in quite a racist way against people from India on packistan. For example there was a reality program a while ago where one of the contestants got into
