 Posted: 01:44 - 28 Sep 2009 Post subject: The race card, defence for being an a**hole |
 |
|
warning long rant:
is anyone else getting pissed off that if you get pissed off at someone who is being a total dickhead and then is accused of being racist? i admit that i do dislike pakistani's, not because of where there from or the religion they follow but because the majority of the ones i have contact with are utter assholes, if they were white they'd be assholes, if they were green they'd be assholes. it just so happens that many of these assholes are in the same group.
i'd say im very non racist, half irish girlfriend, German dad, english/indian stepmum, english brothers (im the only scottish one), my best friends are mexican, chinese and a ginger (i count it as a race, a horrible one). anyway i live in an area that is popular with asians, typicallly Pakistanis. the majority of my conflicts come from my work, pizza hut. We have a credit book, a book that is used when we issue out credit and write down complaints made by customers, unsurprisingly the majority are asian names and the complaints are pitiful such as pizza not cooked which is impossible as every pizza goes in a conveyor belt so get the same time or some other wacky idea such as glass/stones/wrong pizza's etc.
anyway tonight an asian lady phone up, i answer, take the order while she is also having a conversation with another person which was fairly rude in my opinion, she keeps changing her mind and asking for stuff which we do not sell. anyway the order finally completed with two large thin crust vegetable pizza's, wedges and nachos. i read back the order and she confirmed it.
i took the order to the house, gave them the meal, told them the price, was handed two handfuls of smash(change) which was impossible to count at the door so just said thank you and enjoy your meal (this is a common tactic as the driver usually cant be fucked standing about counting in the rain so you usually end up short changed) anyway i come back to find out the woman complained that the pizza's were not what she ordered and since i wasn't in the shop i wasn't able to counter her claim. seeing as i am also a manager in the shop the other manager sided with me and also since i am very clear on the phones as its usually me who has to handle drunks and general idiots. anyway they claimed one of the pizza's was meant to be a deep pan, which was incorrect as i clearly told them two large thin based. this is also a common tactic as they will save a whopping £1 by ordering the cheaper pizza then claiming they ordered the more expensive pizza.
anyway i take the replacement pizza and the woman wont even talk to me, she sends her ten year old son to sort it out which pissed me off, so i tell him its £1 to get the bigger pizza and he says his mum said not to pay me because i made a mistake. i simply told him that was incorrect and that if they want it they have to pay extra for it. they then claim that they were unsatisfied with the fact that their order was wrong and wanted it for free, i simply kept repeating that if they want the bigger pizza they have to pay extra to get what they did not order originally. eventually they give in and i get the £1 (so much bloody effort to try and save a quid ffs) anyway i get back to find out that the mother phoned up to complain about me being abusive to her son and making him cry and claimed that i wouldn't have been stubborn to any other customer (i.e i was stubborn because they had a darker skin pigmentation than myself) i was so pissed off and stricken their address off the system.
sadly this happens at least once every few days and it is really pissing me off.
i dont think chucking them out the country, beatings, genocide is the right thing to do, i simply think that they should not act like dickheads and try to get everything their way and as soon as someone tells them no they play the race card in the hopes that the person backs down and they get freebies.
i couldnt care less where they are from, what they preach, what they eat or who they believe in, if you act like an asshole i will treat you with utter contempt it just so happens that many of these people are from the same place and feel they are better than other people, had a wee bastard at college on my bike, sitting in a riding position with no feet on the ground and when i told him to get the fuck off it he simply says he wanted to see what it felt like being on a bike, i bet he wouldnt like it if i took a shit on his bed just to see what it felt like, didnt also help that a few mins before i heard one boasting how he drives a lexus with no insurance/tax and a borderline fake Pakistani license so was fairly pissed off already as my parents were almost killed by a dickhead doing the same thing. another aspect i hate is the fact they move in groups of 10+ had one trying to start a fight, i was by myself yet he felt the need to have 5 of his friends for back up, i simply think its dishonorable to start a fight, throw a punch, get a punch back and then get his friends to jump in. also i lived fairly close to the poor sod who was by himself got beaten up, bungled into a car, crap beaten out of him again then set on fire and left to die because he stood up to them in a prior clash.
of course they are not all the same, no group are all identical, i have good friends who are asian and they usually have the same opinion as myself but sadly its more than just a few that are giving them a bad rep, its quite a lot tbh yet they all feel they can get away with it by claiming that your being racist by responding to their shitty attitude towards others. so call me racist if you will but im going to go out on a limb and say that many here feel the same, some will admit it but many wont admit it but search your feelings, you know it to be true.
god that felt good, im off to get ice cream and torch some nazi zombies in cod. ____________________ Current Bikes RVF400 - 94

Ah, the old race card. Often played just before they're about to be punched.
"Cause I'm black init!"

Like my previous manager used to say:
"I'm not racist, I really do just hate everyone."
Racist accusations (the race card) is of course the final irony because this gives non-prejudice reasons to be offended by and angry with someone, which inevitably leads to a justifiable hate over a long period of time.
That said, I'm convinced that I've so far met nasty people of every race in equal proportions but it's always good to let the anger off of your chest once in a while well done for doing it mostly in a very constructive way. ____________________ will never give up his CG.

Awwww diddums, did they smell of curry too? Was your lickle racist nose offended?
Thank goodness white people would never try and bluster a freebie out of a company
Gain extra fail points for sneaking in a Darth Vader quote and uttering the immortal 'I can't be a racist, my best friends is all darkies' pre-emptive defence.
Playing the race card for no reason is indeed reprehensible - but even your own rant states that it was only implied!
So yeah, I'm gonna call you racist, because nothing you've described has anything to do with the people's race, and everything to do with the fact they are trying to get a free lunch - something plenty of honkies try on every second of every day. |

you missed the entire point
i never once made accusation that they smelt, looked ugly, had a stupid religion, sacrificed babies and no reference to colour of skin or anything that defines a person physically or spiritually or geographically which is what is considered the definition of someones race. i however made reference to them acting like assholes and then as soon as you stand up to them they place the race card. also i was stating that my asian friends FEEL THE SAME WAY trying to point out that some people from that community in particular dislike the name that this assholes are giving them. I dont know anyone from another ethnic group that plays this card, oriental people dont try it and there are actually very few black people in Glasgow so dont know how they act so cant make any judgment on their behavior.
I also never said other people try this, i simply stated that the majority of customers who have tried this appear to belong to this group and when caught out dont claim is it because im white simply because thats just retarded. I wasn't having a go at them for trying to blag freebies (although they do quite a bit more than other people) but because when they are in a corner and failing to win an argument they pull out the race card.
so im racist to assholes who play the race card, which appears to belong to only one race in my area. if an asian guy talks to me il talk to him, if an asian guy acts like a dickhead i'l act like a dickhead back then subsequently branded a racist after playing the race card ____________________ Current Bikes RVF400 - 94

There wasn't one to miss. You imply that they implied a racial motive, but you left out all the details.
The tone of the rest of your post puts the lie to your bleated claims to be a cosmopolitan Everyman.
For a start, whimpering that your Asian friends FEEL THE SAME WAY is meaningless, as much of the casual racism I see everyday is directed from Asians, to Asians. And to Blacks, and to Whites, and to Chinese etc etc etc.
Arseholes are arseholes, whatever their colour. And people who are blagging a freebie are not exactly going to leave any stone unturned in their quest for goodies - race card or not. If that's what they actually played, you still haven't outlined it, you just ranted about how unracist your racist rant was. |

Sorry, but racist.
If you weren't then you'd dislike the ones you've has issues with and not the whole race.

I disagree, how many people on here say that the Police are arseholes because every one of them they have come into contact with are arseholes? It does show a lack of broad thinking but if every person I ever met called Wayne was a complete c*** then I would be tempted to start thinking it was something about the name that made them that way.
To the OP, I understand what you are getting at, there is a good speech about the racist finger that gets pointed a lot at whites, yet other races are able to do things that would be considered racist if white people did them, for example:
In the US they have black only Universities, white only Universities would be considered close to apartheid. Now, it could be that they were created because of the racism of the whites but either way, it does seem to be a double edged sword these days.

Damz,
Your post is cringeworthy, because you clearly want people to believe you aren't racist when its blatantly obvious that you are. As you say people can be arseholes and it doesn't matter what race they are from. However, if you truly believed that then there'd be no need to mention it would there?
The thread would have merely said "Arseholes: Woman tries to save a quid on a pizza by sending her ten year old son to do the talking."
Wow, big revelation.
I bet you there are a million white chavs who try the same thing every day. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F; Cheap project: CBR900RR FireBlade

Im not racist but the only time persons have tried to mug me is by foreigners UK born or otherwise
James you read into things to much and pick at wordings and make assumptions.
Foreigners UK born or otherwise basically means i dont give a fuck what colour or creed they are !.
Had they been on a level playing field, ie not using the race card to rip me off and get me locked up for the night and fined for the privelege, or not been older black teenagers trying to nick my bike i was paying for then i would not of been commenting as such.
I don't tar people with the same brush as that would be short sighted and a inaccurate representation, but if ive been turned over by the non natives then i shall say so ! Just as we would say if we got turned over by anyone else in unfair circumstance.
Imigration control you work for, theres no such thing ! Its a joke and the foreigners have been pouring into the country taking jobs, housing and benifits and committing crime and working on the side, driving illegally etc etc ....and then you have a moan at us when we have a little bleat about bad experiences with the people you let in ffs.
Just because we live in a muticulteral country which is great we do have a right to view our opionions, some are right and some are wrong and most are debatable. I see all sides of arguments yet you seem to think implying racism to peoples comments when they have said their not racist is OK.
Its people like you who are killing the Red Squirel !! Stop letting the fuckers in and maybe someday we can expect a decent pizza service !!  |
