Name changed for this

Of late I've been come so shocked at the bullying and racism on this site.
Latest two that have since been deleted taking the piss out of gypsies.
So what if a user is either a gypsy, Jewish, asian it doesn't give you the right to belittle. I read the posts lastnight regarding one user and about her being a gypsy. It's attitudes like this that starts persecution. The nazis did this they persecuted millions of jews, handicapped, gypsies. I am utterly shocked and disaapointed at how you so called adults act it's nothing sort of playground bullying. Who on earth would want to join here with that attitude??????

I haven't seen any anti-sematism on mn. I used to work in an old people's home and I was horrified by some of the things a 'sweet old lady' said, so I do believe that I notice when people are anti-sematic.
I haven't read all the threads mind you, but haven't read the anti gypsy or anti asian threads either Confused

I've seen some not-so-nice stuff about gypsies on here too.
Not a massive fan of the term 'handicapped' either though. Are you in America OP?

OP: if you don't want to be here, nothing is forcing you to be.

If you find something offensive or wrong, then deal with it on the thread in which it occurs.

Please do not start (yet another) tedious thread about a thread.

GollyHolightly - I was going to say, surely invoking Godwin's Law in the OP has to be a record? Grin

The two threads you mention that were deleted were deleted for troll-hunting, and did not contain any racism.

HTH.

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven when you're down

When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange

Sorry couuldnt resist Grin

There was no racism in the threads I believe you are referring to.

I've just finished reading the 'apology' thread (now's there's an afternoon I'll never get back!) and apart from a couple of posters spouting cliches (who were quickly put in their place) it was a nice jolly thread, mostly about song lyrics. OP was nasty and offensive IMO and she'd have been that whatever race or religion.

Oh I have namechanged. Not for this, just fancied a change...
