Racist Terms

[Breukelen advocaat]

Why are derogatory words like "Redneck" and "White Trash" still allowed on this board, while racist terms for other groups are automatically replaced with astericks?

I dont think alot of people find that offensive ya know. I mean you can say it on tv or the radio and no one really freaks out. Its not like the N-word, where thats very hush hush.

Redneck and white trash are more based on social status?

Partially, but the N word is usually as well. They're both used to denote race and class. I think that if there is censoring of words for any particular groups, it should be done for the others as well.

Another case of a double standard. I'm not big on censorship myself, but it's not right to allow derogatory terms to be used against one group, and not the others. It's only my opinion.

Have a good one!

I've never seen anyone be offended by the word redneck.
And white trash... calling anyone trash is offensive,
but in the right context (humor) it's ok.
I'd rather not give more power to words.

That's not a derogatory description.
