Default Whats the difference

Between insulting people because of their choice of dress code? Like this person here is obviously doing

https://www.scoobynet.com/do-you-look-t538093.html

Compared to insulting someone because of their skin colour?

Just out of interest like.

But thats not the point. Just because someone can change something it doesnt mean someone should still be insulted either way... Does it?

Your clothes are not your race, although they are integral to your race i.e jews have funny hats and arabs wear tea towels. It's quite clear in that case that a slur against your clothes is also a slur against your race.

it's that god damned RACISM....AGAIN!!!

There's no law against calling someone purely on the basis of their lack of dress sense would be my guess.

However there are laws against racism. Which is why I'm making it my business to use whatever means necessary to wipe it out on scoobynet.

It used to be acceptable to chant racist abuse on football grounds it isn't anymore, likewise I believe the law applies to BBS' like this one.

So because calling people names based on their dress sence is acceptable to you because there is no law against it?

You sir are a prize ****.

It's not a matter of what's acceptable to you or me, it's a case of what is law.

As for the name calling I could quite easily slap you down like the ****-ant you are but I can't be bothered.

What is 'hairest', I don't believe I've ever said anything bad about ginger people. They have enough problems of their own without me putting the boot in.

Don't forget the bicycle chains that go with the tea towels to keep them in place!

I personally can't be bothered about what people wear, get some good laughs sometimes though.

If you called someone a "Raghead", would that be a racial insult or an insult to wearers of cloth based headwear?

As has been pointed out before, Rabid has admitted calling French people Frogs, which he admits is racist. He has however apologized for being racist, which in his mind makes it OK. So does that mean that when the PC brigade try to arrest anyone else for racism, all they have to do is apologise?

That's pretty much how christianity works, not sure about the law though!
