Dammit, when the game comes to england, i don't want any of you calling us britons: brits, poms, limeys, hooligans, toffs, tossers, soccer thugs (in fact steer clear of the word soccer altogether as it is an insult to our national game!!), and especially not welsh, any of you who confuse us with the welsh gonna have to pay, you know what i'm saying. Seriously though, as much as this thread amuses me, i think its an issue that will have to be tackled as and when it is encountered. One thread is unlikely to change the world, I've heard the japanese called a lot worse things, its not right, but thats life and we all gotta live with it. Pinch of salt, take it on the chin, stiff upper lip, what what, tally ho. I'm sure it is mainly down to naivety as opposed to deliberate racism that people use the word jap. As for racism not being a bad thing, i think WWII is a testament to the extent racism can go to, and it most definitely IS a bad thing. To say otherwise qualifies you for the Saddam Hussain school of terrorism. Well done. We got an organisation in england, Kick Racism out of Football (soccer to you yanks....i'm sorry americans), we should have an organisation called Kick Racism Out of er....er whats the FFXI world called again? Sorry my teeth are rotting so badly i can't concentrate.
