New public domain nickname for Demetriou

[saintspremiers]

The Greasy Greek - Fonzie the Foghorn!!!

[saintsRrising]

The Greasy Greek - !

Pretty tasteless...

Many of my mates including my best mate are of Greek heritage...

[Sobraz]

Pretty sure Hinch came under some fire last week or so for the "greasy greek" statement.. Disgraceful comment.. Boarderline use of the 'R' word i feel...

[riccardo]

Innapropriate in the extreme.

Dimitriou is a fool, no doubt, but racial slurs are not necessary, there are plenty of nicknames to call him without playing the race card.

[Oh When the Saints]

I call a mate of mine a greasy Greek all the time ...

Am I racist? Inappropriate? Disgraceful? Tasteless?

[ben_fff]

it's all about context.

done in privacy thats between you and him.

in a public forum, yes it is inappropriate.

I hurl insults at dimwit all the time, some highly offensive, but I try and refrain from racism. (maybe I let some slip now and again, but not through intent)

cheers

Sorry, I should've explained the origins of the name, and non of them are mine:

Greasy Greek = Derryn Hinch
Fonzie = Terry Wallace
Foghorn = Charles Happel via the famous Montague Cafe!

IMO Greasy Greek is not that offensive and is not racist....get overyourselves FFS and lighten up a bit!!!

Buy yourself a dictionary and look under "R".

So is calling someone a "wog" racist also Riccardo, or is it really, really nasty
if you put the word "greasy" in front of it??

Wog/Greek = some diff.

Again, lighten up a bit!!

Agree with Riccardo and BenFFF.

It is all about the context, and in that context it is racist.

Doesn't matter in your opinion on whether the term is offensive or racist saintspremiers, it matters to the person who is being called by that term. It is their opinion & only their opinion that counts.

It is a racist slur, same as the "N" word, just because it is used in common society now dosen't make it any less of a slur.

If you put the word "greasy" in front of Greek, it makes it a rascist slur, same as if you put any negative word in front of a word describing a group of people as a whole rather than as inderviduals.

I will not "lighten up" as you say, in fact the casual rascism of today really disturbs me.

What about the use of the phrase "Whingeing Poms?"

fair call also!


whatabout "<insert colour> maggots!"

...this is a slur on a race of lovely animals isn't it??!!

[Armoooo]

Well this is the way I see it and the way I will always act about it, I really don't care about all this PC bullsh*t....

If I hated Dimwit because he is a moron I would have no problem calling him a greasy wog, I don't believe that is racist, however if I hated him because he was a wog then I would be being racist...

And wog goes by a different set of rules, it isn't just any greek or italian person it is more of a subculture now, it is the guys with the greasy hair and pink collar shirts that hang out in groups of 15 outside shopping centres that believe scaring old ladies makes them a big man...

If you want to know what I mean have a look at the "race riots", how could that be considered racist? they went for greeks, italians, lebonese, so people from different countries, continents and religions... how is that racist??

IMO racism is way too big an issue, people just need to get the hell over it... I'm so sick of hearing people always be referred to by their race honestly who cares anymore... It's almost as bad as feminism, when Gillard was acting PM she said it was a big step forward for women, who cares?!?! This stuff is just so frustrating

[bigcarl]

can i call him a greasy geek? that wouldn't be racist

[Dan Warna]

i'd call demetriiou a pharking idiot, oxygen thief, crook, moron, sabateur of the AFL, scumbag, liar, scumbag, sheepshagger, rat molestor, overinflated underperforming ugly ignoramus and fetid little rodent muncher, but I would NEVER be racist intentionally, thats just not on

[Armoooo]

i'd call demetriiou a pharking idiot

Don't be so insensitive to the intellectually challenged...

[evertonfc]

Right, has everyone had their say yet?

This thread is a joke.

This is one f****** racist post.

Calling someone a greasy wog is derogatory not only to the person intended, but to all other ethnics that read or hear it. By using it you have just labelled all wogs.

It is racist Armooo so clearly you need to grow the f*** up.

And stating that the riots wern't racist....And I quote, "they went for greeks, italians, lebonese, so people from different countries, continents and religions... how is that racist?". The word different is your key moron. Just because you label and target many cultures and religions at once dosnt mean its not racist.

This is probably the poorest post I have seen on this forum. Derogatory. Uneducated and extremely Naive. Being ignorant to racism is nearly as bad and frustrating as the racists themselves. Its time to change your views Armooo, or at the very least thing about what you write.
