Creole Creme, Are You Offended?

[GAMBLR]

oh noes those damn racists first coon cheese now mainland just brought out a new product:


Cracker Cuts- insulting white folk and emo kids simultaneously!

Best thing about emos though is they'll go hide in a corner and cry rather than hit back at us...

Sorry guys, but I'm against the whole 'rainbow' sheep idea as well. That's discriminating against non-gays! lol

[mz81vs]

Best post in this thread mate, very well said

I agree.

[Toddlez]

So I think its safe to say that NO ONE is offended by creole cream?

[Tim Smtih]

Apparently you're racist if you're not offended. Apparently.

I've skipped 5 pages of reading...

I think that people forget that there is a big difference between calling a sheep black or even doing a Michael Richards and having a nazi get together every weekend to yell at the jews. <-- One of those things is racist.

Agreed, there is a massive difference there. But this thread, for example, was started over a name of biscuits. Who in their right mind would take offense to a damn biscuit, regardless of their name?
And thats what people in the thread are commenting on, too many cry babies who think that calling a sheep black and 'doing a Michael Richards' is offensive and/or racist.
If they want racist, I'll show trhem whats bloody racist....

WTF is a michael richards?

[GetToDaChopa]

WTF is a michael richards?

Getting angry at a black guy and calling him a n when you're not funny.

Haven't you seen the video of that?

Clearly not. I've only just caught up with light saber dude

[Sphinx]

as a person of mixed race I'm deeply offended and appalled that they would allow such as biscuit to be named with obvious racist overtones. Now if these honkies took the time to properly assess naming conventions for products then this never would have become an issue.

The way I see it, when Australian's travel overseas, permanently or temporarily, it is stressed to us to behave ourselves and follow the country's laws and traditions. Schapelle Corby anyone?
Imagine what would happen if an Aussie started jumping up and down about a biscuit name in a Middle Eastern country, or in Asia somewhere. They'd be laughed at and told to HTFU or GTFO.

Yet what happens when people from other countries immigrate to Australia? It's no longer called Christmas, it's 'the holiday season', colours are referred to as racist slurs and biscuits are forced into a corner until they change their name.
NOT ALL immigrants are here to cause trouble, but fact is, we're falling soft to certain foreigners who don't like our way of life. Well, HTFU or GTFO.

And yes, I'm half Italian, so I know all about discrimination by race. I also understand that a lot of these cultures have shaped Australia, but FFS, there's a line in the sand!

Hmm, im just wondering, will the song Lady Marmalade be banned? Seeing as 2 lines in the song have "Creole lady Marmalade "...

[GAMBLR]

Or Dire Straits, "Sultans of Swing"...

i find the name honky offensive, and was not needed in that statement. who knows, the people who were in charge of naming the product may have been of mixed decent, not a 'honky' as you implied.

as someone of mixed race (half polish), many things are said that i can take offence to but i choose not to get aggrivated, and not complain about the subject.

i think that is the key, understanding must come from all parties, and a compromise met. on the subject of the biscuits, yes the word 'creole' can hold negative connotations, but it must be understood that the context of the use of the word is not related to the meaning of the word in its offensive state.

i think the name should stay, and the people who find it offensive for whatever reason must understand that there was no intention for the name to create such offence, it was merely a coincedence.

Anyone remember the movie white chics.. 2 african americans dressed up as two dumb blondes... why was there no up-roar about that

You idiot, you are saying you are offended in a racial way and go on to call people honkies, obviously you are no better than the people who offended you.

Welcome mate!

There's a minority (at this stage) of people who would like to change our traditions, way of life and kick the shit out of us.

We have so called asylum seekers or so called refugees who think they can bring their bag of shit here to smeer us. Some are legit, some are part of the problem in their old country and continue to bring their political and religious agender to our land.

What shits me is the people who winge that they are persecuted and still winge when they are given shelter food and protection.

Anyone who has been OS will realise that if you are really shit scared for your life, all you want is a place to escape death and would be happy to live in a dog box.

But to come here to winge and cause more problems for the bloke who gave you a place to live, money, security and second chance at life is outrageous.

Considering they are living better than a good portion of Australians on welfare and the dole or on the streets. Solve our own problems before looking for more.
I drive past Baxter detention centre in Pt Augusta quite often. It looks quite barren and unpleasant from the outside, but inside is all the latest whitegoods, entertainment equipment etc. (from an uncle who used to make deliveries there).
Not even I have the latest electrical equipment! And from what I've been told, much of it is replaced often due to damage, breakages, neglect, no care or gratitude whatsoever.

Cool mate, have a good weekend, have a few coldies and kick back.

I think the sarcasm went right over your head on that one.....
