Popeye

[Hypno]

I don't believe he was saying that they did it, because they were of that nationality, just that they are money grabbers and also Pakistani's and Indian's. Is he not allowed to call them by the nationality that they are? I'm sorry but am a bit sick of this political correctness and the word and terminology of Racism, being misused. We have a lot of this happening in Australia at the moment. An example of this is from a friend I have. He is Aboriginal and he has black or dark coloured skin. Now one day a dude, some random, threw insults at my mate and my friend was very distraught that he just used a racial slur, he called him a black cunt.(sorry for language) My friend carried on about how the dude had just called him black and shouldn't be able to racially slur him as we live in the 21st century. Once he settled down I gave him my opinion, that he was absolutely ridiculous to be offended by being called black. Because as plain as day (or night time as it was) his skin was black or darker and that he should be proud of this. What he should be offended at is that, that dude just called him a cunt. To this day he is proud to be black and doesn't get offended by people calling him that. Racism and political correctness has become a joke over here. We had nursery rhyme that was Ba Ba black sheep. Well now the kids have to sing Ra Ra Rainbow sheep as saying it is black is wrong. Does this mean when I was younger I owned a rainbow sheep, because the fucking thing looked black to me as a five year old?

Rant over sorry!

Racism is there version of a nuclear bomb! but guess what it would take more than that to bring down me!!!! calling things like they are is not racist! its realism! so they can go & smoke that in there pipe,, I dont give a s**t what some nobody thinks about me!! they are people who have met me will tell them otherwise,, But saying that they are no worth there words! ive never been anti gay or black in my whole life so go & have a big fart you daft little fools,, Racist lmfao! go check my friends on facebook you stupid little twats! bring it on i will destroy you all.

Who is "There" what does that mean? By the way it's spelt "THEIR" ! Really smart.

Racist for calling a guy/guys from pakistan ie pakistani? LMFAO!! it doesnt stop you all like muckypup ie fuckyduck calling me a jock etc lmfao,, Go & get fucked you stupid cunts! f-off back to where you come from mr 15 posts! & take your stupid 12 posts mate with you lmfao.

Dude you are so clever and a real gentleman, it was so big of you not to just revert to insults.

Thanks HighlyBlessed for clearing it up!

So Kingdoc you are right are you? Good job you didn't just have a fit of insulting people and making a fool of yourself, isn't it?

I don't see how it's racist, to call an indian an indian and a pakistani a pakistani????

Its not but it is racist to link the fact they are Indian or Pakistani to money grabbing.

I fail to see how their Country of origin has anything to do with the quality or price of their stock.

lol racist lmfao in fact.

So Kingdoc you were right were you?
Highlyblessed has actually proved the point. These guys are dutch/surinames, so you must be right then?

Did'nt think there was an ounce of racist element in the original post being refered to. Just that some seem a little over sensitive or have an agenda on here?. A few of us once went to a bar, each doing the trip with a different budget and spending\buying our drinks and tea in there at vastly different prices and therefore wanted to pay seperate. Upon the guy behind the bar noting our want to pay seperate he asks us where we are from?. Wales we tell him, he says that explains why you all want to pay for yourselfs then.

Is that therefore racist in the same context as the post being refered to as racist?. Of cause it's bloody not!.

So if he called them dutch /suriname money grabbers it would have been alright then???

No use for this discussion. It doesn't really matter where the staff from Popeye comes from. to me it's more important how their product and service is. I always was treated good but was never really happy with the offered quality. Leave KD alone people he is a good guy and no racist.

IMHO calling someone money grabbing or a cunt is insulting. Linking that insult to someone's race, colour or ethnicity makes it a racist insult. This doesn't necessarily make the user a racist.

so calling the Scottish a bunch of tight fisted cnuts is racist insult?
What is wrong with being careful with your money. Really?

Calling the English a bunch of lager louts is racist insult? Go to any small to medium city center town across the UK on a Saturday about 1am.

Calling the Chinese a bunch of slitty eyed rice eaters a racist insult? What is wrong with having slitty eyes and eating rice? I like rice! Slitty eyes are attractive IMHO. Where's the insult?

Is any word to describe another human being in the humble opinion of the author safe to use these days I wonder? Too many people examining/patrolling every word others write for trace of ISM's

So racism is bad right which means the opposite is good. So the opposite of racism is the love of other nations and cultures. If I'm going to get hammered for calling the Welsh a bunch of taffy cnuts (I don't even know what that means btw) then I should get credit for saying how wonderful the Dutch transport system is for making AMS such a clean and quiet capital city. Well done the Dutch on that. I love you. Also love your tolerant culture and admire your forthright views.


Please could I have some posts praising me for my pro anti racist comments now.

ps - and since when is calling someone a cnut an insult! The giver of life for us all. The word cunt should be seen in a wholly different light and the word ought to have different connotations.

The whole landscape of insults is changing anyway. Soon it won't be allowed to insult players or refs at footy games no matter how badly they play/referee.

.

No, I don't think it is. Scottish is a nationality not a race or ethnicity. What you are referring to is a national stereotype.

As for whether or not calling someone a cunt is an insult, surely it depends on context? If I'm down the pub with mates and one of them calls me a cunt, no offence will be taken. On the other hand if a stranger walks up to me and calls me a cunt based on the colour of my skin, I would take that as an insult. How would you take it if I said I thought you were a cunt? Am I being friendly or insulting? (just to be clear - I'm not calling you anything, just asking the question.)

[Doobietronic]

This is getting really boring to read now as it's just going around in circles, we all have different views on what is racist and what isn't racist, personally i don't think the original comment was racist but could be taken either way depending on peoples individual views.
Isn't this supposed to be about coffeeshop reviews??

Tbh he should have got the Ssh, can't go wrong with that, normally 10euro special, I don't mind the people, the old lady is a tough cookie until she is told to sling it. I prefer it to robking over road, better and cleaner shop. Will fit in another visit this trip I am sure

[scully]

Popeye is an ok shop, better hash than bud imo, i like going downstairs and reading the tables, never had a bad time here but have had average bud at times.

Have a great trip Kermit mate

How thick are you? Dutch/Suriname Indians and Pakistanis what do they all have in common?
They are ALL different races. If you use derogatory comments then add a race to the end I'm afraid it IS racist. Just because it does not cause You offence does not mean the comments are not.

Also whoever thinks calling Chinese people slit eyed rice eaters is ok need to try saying that to my mate. You won't last long.

Funny how its always the chavist of folk who find being racist the easiest.

Also finding a business that has both Indians and Pakistanis working along side each other happily is a laughable prospect. The countries have been at war for ages and the people generally hate each other! It's like saying the coffeeshop is run by 'English and Germans' chalk and cheese.

Back on topic however. I believe Popeyes is a shit hole place with shit weed. Last time I went in I got serious attitude from the 'doesn't matter what race' lady when I asked to see a selection off the menu. There famous pink Kush was whack and the vanilla was doctored. Never been back since.

plz Lemmings, dis 3D needs a good scrubbing IMO

[Grunt]

Went in here on one of my first trips across and never again

Tempted by their breakfast offer and menu choice i remember plumping for the NYCD. Some strains in Scotland were better cured and flushed. Breakfast was not up to much cop but better than a scabby horse, just.
