"Cunts"?

Certainly true in my case

I didn't vote for the rich/poor divide. Or are you talking about another diversity? Could you educate me on this? The other thickcuntracist couldn't.

There's an article not too far from here with footage of a cop chasing a white bike thief.

Perhaps you could you elaborate on your comical worldview on that thread, or is that fake news?

We had a Nu Labour / neo conservative government in the nineties, then a Conservative government since then (face it, the Lib Dems were just a beard).  In what way is all that rightwingyness "voting for diversity"?

(PS - I didn't vote for any of them )

Diversity were voted winners of "Britain's got talent" in 2009.

I seemed to have missed the relevance of this fact though?

I think Jamminatrix never really got over the fact that Susan Boyle came second.

Came? Could you keep the sexual references out of the conversation, please?

I'm sorry, but she just has a certain affect on me.

You, Don Simon, are the one who bought cunts into the "conversation".

Why, how observant of you! But you were the one who incorrectly accused me of misogyny, failed to respond to the earlier point that cunt has multiple uses, one of which is derogatory to women. You even claim that these alternative uses, even though they can be found in dictionaries, are imagined. Which seems extremely odd. The second thing that seems odd is that you seem more concerned about my use of the word cunt (you have failed to pick on others that use the same vocabulary) than you are about the racism expressed here. I can defend my use of the language in that it is suppposed to cause outrage and attract attention. But I would, if I were you, pay more attention to the racist content here than a few naughty words, unless, of course, you're happy for racists to ply their ignorance on these pages.

A new low don simon ^

So you accept racists then? Good on you.

You don't need to say black, you don't need to say non-white. So I'd say that being a thick racist cunt is the low, not a little sweary word.

Don Simon, you don't need to insert your misogyny by imagining that "cunt" is a valid insult.

In what way is calling someone "unpleasant or stupid" misogynistic?

Cos not everyone who isn't white is black. Some are yellow and some are brown. Pretty simple that.

Stereotypes are great because they do actually come from somewhere even though people looking not to cause offence cry about their use. 

I went to Hull a little while back and remembered it to be full of deadbeats. As soon as we got off the main road in......first person I see is sat on the floor surrounded by beer cans and the town centre was like the Tour de Smack with seriously low body fat guys on bikes with 'the hunger' in their eyes. Couldn't wait to leave. What culture. Pretty much fit the stereotypes I was imagining. 

Flame away. 

sounds like confirmation bias to me. That's similar to drivers only ever noticing cyclists who jump red lights, and never noticing other drivers, including themselves, who do ditto.

Stereotypes come from across the border, whatever the border happens to be. The Other is always depicted the same way, and it's always the nearest Other. Look at the similarities internationally of jokes about the Irish, Belgians, Poles, Sikhs etc.

Mostly stereotypes come from a power imbalance. It's usually the less powerful group that gets made into a stereotype. There's exceptions, of course, and sometimes even some basis for the stereotype, but it still leads to lazy (or lack of) thinking.

I lived there for 9 years.  It's a fair assesment,

You mean Yorkshire/Lancashire?  Yup - its as bad as Devon/Cornwall, except that they didn't fight a war over it.
