It does seem really a contradiction in terms doesn't it?
Abuse and racial discrimination are as bad as each other. It's no good criticising others for doing bad things if we do equally as bad to someone else.
Here in Wales there are loads of words people say to each other especially as there's a big mixture of English, Welsh and Irish and Scots too where I live. Thankfully most of it's tongue in cheek and no real offence is usually taken though when alcohol's involved it can get unpleasant.
We have a 'Jock', 'Paddy' and 'Taffy', amongst the neighbours and that's what they've chosen to call themselves like a proud label really.
I can't remember how to spell the Welsh for the English but no-one really takes any notice as they are all very tolerant.
It's a real shame that some of the Loyalists associate with the British National Front as they are not really tolerated over here as most people hate racism on that level.
I think these black guys who degrade women are such a poor example and while in a minority obviously have an effect on how people see them and how young people especially use them as role models.
It's a sort of reversion from racism to sexism and seems inexcusable when it's aimed at black women who may have suffered from racist abuse as well as sexist abuse.
What you've said gives food for thought.
I can't stand racism either.
