Seems that chris leslie is a cabbage . Is that racist although true desription

How can the german word for cabbage be racist

Why is it that certain slang words for citizens of countries are fine ie Pom, Aussie, Yank, Poles, Danes, Kiwis but others that have been used for years in the same context are suddenly racist?

So now we can't say Kraut... so I suppose it's now time to bleep out the word Kraut from all my war films. Still amazed the BBC let 'nigger' in the dam busters through uncensored

Rightly so

But, …… she is a kraut. 🤔

Says the Torygraph propaganda rag which supports an imperialist dictator

😯 why, isn’t she German....

Bad taste - yes. Xenophobic- yes. Racist - no.

That's a bit like the kettle calling the pot black isn't it.

This is the backbone prop of most brexiteer nationalist bile. Stereotyping hammered home by decades of right wing owned newspaper headlines slagging, inventing & blaming the EU for everything bad that has happened to this country. It's worked too, eh DT?

People 'outraged' by a tweet but not by the EU trying to annex NI. 🙄

Racism is hostile religious rival groups and subsects with differing ancestry terrorising psychologically,socially,politically individuals,groups made vulnerable by their doing. Religopolitics presumes dominance over thefree civilised societies, individuals they consider wayward.
