Use of racist terms for people from Britain
I don't think it's acceptable to use the contraction to describe people like this as it's usually coming from a racist perspective rather than to clarify their geographic origin. In Northern Ireland this is usually used as a derogatory term for members of the security forces (just after you throw the petrol bomb, but before it lands)
That being the case I'm asking the webmaster to add this word to the swear filter and possibly ban users who repeatedly use this sort of racial abuse.
Moreover I plan to send links to interested parties/organisations if action isn't taken that may lead us to a situation where scoobynet/it's owners are subject to official sanction.
That being the case could I ask you to practice self censorship and avoid being racist ******** if only on scoobynet rather than in the rest of your lives?
If not let's see where this leads us

Utopian multiculturism never existed, never will and you can't enforce it on people either. White people are easily the most tolerant race I have ever seen.
