I don’t see how Montezuma’s Revenge is racist. It doesn’t refer to a group of people, their characteristics, or say anything about their culture. It refers to a microbial infection.
I can see how it’s imperialist given it’s reference to the imperialist takeover of the Aztec.
Come on, dude. This is a revolting post. Take it down a notch. You’ve been flying off the handle in multiple threads the last few days.
Revolting? Lol give me a break. He spent like 24 hours lobbing ad hominem attacks at me, then yelled at someone else for making an ad hominem attack. So I called it like I see it with regard to his views and his character, and I didn’t mince words.
All of this after I gave him the benefit of the doubt at the beginning, only for him to repeatedly and provably lie about that.
If I’m the one you find revolting, I don’t know what to tell you.
I didn’t say you were revolting. I like you. I’m saying you seem to be looking for fights lately where they aren’t warranted.
I’m definitely more willing to engage in a fight when I think it’s warranted than I used to be. This one started by me being pretty polite about it, and jalfrezi flying off the handle, then it got ugly and I didn’t back down.
On matters related to the pandemic, there’s no room for polite disagreement on matters that lead to not taking proper precautions or various forms of wishcasting, so I’m way more willing to pick fights and make fun of really bad opinions on that than on other stuff.
You need to get out more.
I’m pretty sure your standard is to trot this bs out when you lose an argument because you’re too stupid to come up with counter arguments rather than resorting to ad hominem attacks. Also ghetto blaster is pretty fucking racist.
Lol, you really are a terrible fucking poster.
It’s interesting because in the US “estate” would bring up an image of a sizable property of substantial value. I have seen it used as you mention in a UK context.
Are there any racist elements to its usage or is it just to identify a poor area? Does it refer to a particular type of housing?
Honestly, not at all shocked that @jalfrezi is the kind of person who gets offended at “smelly ethnic food”.
Lol, you live in Great Britain, it’s definitely fucking racist there too, and definitely has the exact same meaning.
Don’t do it.
The Venn diagram of people who think that ethnic food (and especially Indian spices) are so stinky that they shouldn’t be allowed in the same building as them, and people who are deplorable racists, has a pretty significant overlap IMO.
You guys realize where the term ghetto comes from right? Like there is no point in history where it hasn’t been used in a racist manner to depict a place where “others” and “undesirables” live. And it sure as shit didn’t start in the US.
Ding ding ding.
Great Post 
for what it’s worth we called them Boogie boxes & Battery Blasters back in the day.
Imagine being so historically fucking ignorant that you think the term “ghetto” originated in the USA.
Yeah… I can get that, as Louis explained above we UKer’s did not (As kids) see it that way and instead related it towards coolness and groovy people.
Yeah this is a misrepresentation
