Nothing like good old racism...

    I have some words from far east countries, when they refer to whites or those from the west.

    Singapore = "Ang-Moh"
    Malaysia = "Puteh"
    Indonesia = "Bule"
    Hongkong = "Gwai-Loh"

    Those words above, when translated to plain english basically means, people with red hair, white skin, mixture of white and pinkish colour.

    The Hongkong one is rather harsh since gwai loh can be translated as red devil.

    Sorry If I made a mistake, or If it sounds racist, I am in no way a racist person, I was just trying to reply to the question :)

    No problem Rich. We know that you aren't calling any of us these names. It's all part of the discussion :smt023

    You know, I was considering changing my name to Haole PUnch, as I'm moving to Hawaii in a month. :)

    Spanish (in Mexico) = Gringo (as in Green Go Home, I hear)
    Japan = don't really have one
    America (used by blacks, and my personal favorite) = Cracker

    And for the love of God already -- someone tell a white joke!

    a bet joke would work, then. :-D

    if a brutha get mad, he mad at 1 or 2 people. NOT white folks, they mad at the whole damn planet, and then they do sum crazy like shootin' 20 or 30 people.

    but on the other side, a brutha got crazy and shot 20 people. how dumb do you have to be...to be the 20th person shot?! i bet it was a white guy (nerdy voice) "oh dear what is that noise? im gonna go check it out. love and kisses for ya!" bang bang bang! "where is that coming from? oH hey there pardner, whats that n- Bang. :smt071 :smt082

    these 2 jokes compliments of bet
    im white by the way. :-D

    Anybody know any from Africa or the Middle east? I'd like to go see the pyrimids one day.

    There are tons of slurrs for white people in America (usually voiced by black people) including:

    Whitey
    cracker
    bule eyed-devil
    Honeky Muthafucka
    "The man" (as in "Everytime I raise up THE MAN slaps me down")
    Binky (usually in refrence to an authority figure like a judge or cop, like he's a clown)
    etc.

    What about Europe, or South Africa, or any other place where there's oppressed minorities?

    What about countries where you see the same kind of oppression that was common here in the 1950's, like say Isreal/Palestine, or Bosnia, China/Tibet, etc?

    Man, I am seriously considering writing a thesis on this. I've already got the title:

    "Social-economic and political influences on Racism and eliteism in the modern world taken from a post-colonial perspective."

    Now I just need to go to graduate school.

    Thats great, one needs to have a clear stance on such sensitive issues :)

    God created human beings in variety of races, I bet HE didnt want all those to hate one another IMHO

    People should open their eyes and mind to see this, dont label too much :smt042

    I heard a similar joke. There's a very funny bit like that in The Original Kings of Comedy. The gist of it was:

    "How come you never hear about 20-30 black people getting shot in office? We run. If I started running right now, at least 8 of you would follow me."

    Egypt

    I went to Egypt this spring and it was certainly most worth it. If you ever do go it is highly recommended you go with a group or guide because you will get easily lost if you don't. Also watch out for the vendors as they will harass you and try to rip you off unless you are firm with them. Make sure you also establish a price with cabbies and camel guys before you go anywhere.

    I'll try to scan the pics for you guys when I get a chance.
