Did you seriously just use the term Orientals? And yes indeed that not only makes you a racist, but a complete a-hold that should find another club to play for.

Someone else, please.

I hope you never us the term "European" or, heavens forbid, "African".

Get a grip you loon.

But they are not even remotely similar.

Maybe we should have signed that Woods lad that Burnley just got from Leeds? He looks quite tall

Wow. Just wow. Corner shop owners !

Living in a PC bubble if you never heard a corner shop and their owners being given a slang term mate, as i pointed out, it was inaccurate as well as offensive as most of the small businessman owning them where not even from that country.

Feel free to get faux offended though

Seek of reading crap like this, how is he a racist? For making a politically incorrect joke about the Chinese? Pretty sure anyone from a working class background has said stuff about orientals to their mates or what not, doesn't make you a racist. Stop making out he's a member of the KKK

I'm working class. Doesn't mean I make racist jokes and pretty shocked you think all working class people do

Hooligan, vandal, bugger, all words with a racist origin to them mate, many many more to add to those, but it just shows how the use of words changes over the years - and the offence taken to those words... Ever used the word Eskimo - rather than Inuit? Or called someone Uppity?

If your a scouser, ever heard or called a police van called a paggy wagon?

I will stand by the assertion that nearly every single person will have as an adult deliberately or by accident used some form of racist language or phrases.

Anyway who we signing laar?

Hopefully not Vardy.

It's considered an ethnic slur these days mate

As Wikipedia says

Oriental
(Predominantly U.S., used elsewhere) Refers to an East Asian person (of the Orient) and/or their ethnicity; sometimes considered offensive.[41][42][43] In 2016, US President Barack Obama signed a bill to remove the term "Oriental", together with some others, as a reference to a person from federal laws.[44]

It's not widely known as one to be fair to you. I'm sure you weren't intending to offend. Easy mistake to make

If it's in Wiki then it must be true.

We'll get some random from Italy or Spain...like he did with Pelle.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

But Vardy though? Thoughts?

We want a target man don't we?

In that case he's not really what we're looking for, so what's the point in signing him?

Rate him as a player like, he's just not the droid we're looking for

 

[COYBL25]

But Vardy though? Thoughts?

No, just no.

Weasel faced rat.

I mean, I've heard of it being a questionable word to use like, but I could understand someone not knowing it's considered a racial slur

It's hard to keep track of those sorts of things these days

I sometimes think it's better just to explain to someone why a word they've used is offensive rather than just rounding down on them, because sometimes you won't know that something carries racial connotations, and if it's explained to you then you won't say it any more

You can't just assume that everyone knows what every word means

I'm 6'5" and a better, cheaper option than Chris Wood ever was.

Agreed.
