Why so racist?

Criminals.

This is the worst debate.

"You're racist."
"oh, no we're not."

Your face is racist.

You also get to call yourself seppo

And I do so with pride because "seppo" is just fucking brilliant. It's too well constructed a slur to not like.

what are some derogatory terms for white Australians?

According to Wikipedia, which is great for this sort of hate and intolerance, you've got anglo-pilferer, ocker (which appears to be equatable with white trash or redneck), and skip or skippy. I want to say that I've personally heard "convo" before as well, but my brain might just be making that up. Personally I just go with Damn Dirty Aussies.



So this English guy decided one day that he wanted to be an Irishman. He went to the doctor and said, "I say, old chap. I would dearly like to be Irish."

The doctor told him, "No problem! We have an operation that we perform for these kinds of cases. All we have to do is remove half your brain."

"Smashing!" said the Englishman.

Later he awoke on the operating table with the doctor standing over him, looking worried. "Welcome back!" the doctor said. "The operation is finished, but I'm afraid we made a little mistake and removed your brain entirely. I hope this won't be a problem?"

The Englishman thought about it for a second, then shrugged and said, "No worries, mate!"

Is that a new Jimoticon?

Wait shit, Wiki lists Ocker and Skippy as dreogatory terms?

Thats....

amazing

Ocker is pretty much synonimous with true blue and what you call someone that's really Australian. It's kind of similar to Redneck as in it refers to country people but it doesn't really carry any of the derogatory connotations to it.

And Skippy? How the hell could anyone be offended being called Skippy? Skippy was the shit

Nope. Haven't used it much, but it's been around. I've considered using it every single time I'm being awesome, but then I realized I'd never not be using it.

It's kind of similar to Redneck as in it refers to country people but it doesn't really carry any of the derogatory connotations to it.

Lots of rednecks take the title of redneck happily without associating anything negative with it. Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy are testaments to that. I've got lots of folks in my own family who are damn proud of being rednecks.

And Skippy? How the hell could anyone be offended being called Skippy? Skippy was the shit

Got me. I don't even know who Skippy is! He the guy who started the peanut butter company?

[Leetmuffin]

Nope. Haven't used it much, but it's been around. I've considered using it every single time I'm being awesome, but then I realized I'd never not be using it.

Oh! I thought you were using it every time you were being awesome. Would explain why I never saw it.

[Jim North]

Oh! I thought you were using it every time you were being awesome.

I can certainly start.

Skippy is a kangaroo from a show back in the 70s called (Appropriately enough) skippy the bush kangaroo.

He was basically Lassie as a kangaroo.
Basically every single Australian knows and loves Skippy. (And hates sonny cause fuck Sonny)

Also ocker as a derogatory term weird me out cause it isn't even a noun, it's an adjective. Someone isn't an ocker. Someone behaves really ocker. Or sounds ocker.

Everything I know about Australian slang I learned from playing Ty the Tazmanian Tiger.

Grouse as!

Adjectives can be derogatory. Who says they can't? Are you prejudiced against adjectives or something?

[Ben]

I've never met an adjective that wasn't a cunt.

This is the worst debate.

"You're racist."
"oh, no we're not."

The worst thing about that debate is that both sides always believe the burden of proof lies with the other.

Skippy was great.

It's sounding more like you guys are talking not about a debate about racism but just every debate on the internet ever.

Seriously tho', at least one specific point was brought up to try and show we have racist tendencies, and that point was refuted. Sycamoyr didn't just stick to "omg but you are" and we didn't just reply with "omg but we aren't". If Sycamoyr had stuck around and replied again, the debate may well have gone on, but apparently he didn't, so it hasn't, and the thread has since become a general discussion about racism, no longer being a debate of any kind at all. And as with any debate, the burden of proof lies with the one who makes the initial claim.

[pie]

At least we've established one thing.

Ben's a total racist, and we should hate him.
