Casual racism on Khmer440
Should be naming and shaming, I'm betting half of the posts are drunken rants. Name and shame and these twats won't be able to show their faces around town.
Two of the three main posters who do it are not racist at all. I don’t know the other one enough to say what his feelings are.Guest wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 7:27 pmShould be naming and shaming, I'm betting half of the posts are drunken rants.

They do it for shit and giggles - to get a rise out of people.
Which is all very well in a small tight knit community but 440 is an open site. I suspect Alexandra is less interested in their various views on race than on the impact of their posts - in jest or not - on the reputation of the overall forum. Not every advertiser or new poster knows these guys in private. They don’t distinguish who posts what. They just see the words spewed over the forum willy nilly, make an immediate judgement about what the forum is about and decide to take their business elsewhere.

The other thing I would say about this is that 440 is a business. It has lots of stakeholders - members, casual readers, owners, advertisers.
If you had any other business - a bar, a cafe, a restaurant - and you had people coming in and shouting cunt and nig nog, and rice wog when they felt like it, do you think the owner would sit down with you and engage in a nice discussion about censorship or woke attitudes?
Not a chance. You would be chucked out and banned.
So why is it different here?

Isn't saying 'old white men' racist????
I see more and more white hate and racism every day and it seems to be AOK and even applauded.
I don't get it....
You need to ban all the white haters if you are going to ban all the posters who use what you consider racial slurs.
Seems like the fair thing to do.

No it isn't. It's a phrase to describe - quite literally - old white men as opposed to, say, young white women, or middled aged Asian men.
But you know the fatuousness of your argument. Had you been more confident of it you would have posted under your usual name.

So it is okay to say black, yellow, white and brown, and even fuzzy wuzzy but nothing else these days. Orange turd also seems popular.
k440, something to do when you're pissed.
Come on Horace. You’re a smart guy. You know the difference between a racist slur and a descriptive phrase. Describing someone as a black guy and calling them nig nogs is the difference between common decency and crass stupidity.
Didn’t see all of the posts. I thought Playboy posted as a windup when he went extra racist. That said, was only a matter of time before it got addressed. I thought the google overlords would eventually come knocking.

Yes, I do but why was Slow Delivery's use of fuzzy wuzzy allowed? And why say white instead of European/ American? I am sure yellow would not be allowed to describe Asian in this PC 440!

What about long nose , big nose, flat nose, round eye, slit eye , fish eye,? these are all border line descriptive phrase words.
Did you see that slant eyed, yellow skinned, flat nosed cnut snatch that , fat, white, big nosed bird's purse?

I agree it can be difficult. That’s why places like twitter and Facebook struggle to deal with it. It will be for the boss to determine what’s appropriate. I’m just pleased that an attempt has been made to draw a line in the sand once and for all.
I think we can agree that regular posters love 440. No one wants to see stuff that actively harms the site’s longevity and vitality.

Oh my, what a delicious shit sandwich this thread is. Keep it coming, I don't even know what to say (yet).

I don't buy that, as in not at all
People who aren't closeted racists don't ever feel the need to express themselves in such a way

Are you asking them to go through every potentially racist phrase right now and make a call on it?
If this is about them not modding the post you were talking about, maybe they also don't know what it means. I have no idea fuzzy wuzzy fuzzball is a racist phrase.
