Having an argument at work, since kickinits a bit quiet this morning.
The argument is over what constitutes race?
I said everyone that lives in Brisbane is on meth. (harmless banter, obviously). My work colleague said "thats racist"...and i told him to go **** himself, coz its not racist.
He reckons its racist because they're from a different part of the country and I said I wasnt refering to race at all, just where they live.
Then he said caucasian is not a race, its a colour. To which I replied "its not a colour, you cant buy a caucasian pencil".
Thats a bit of a rabble of a topic starter, but if you can understand that, what do you fine people think?

Not racist HH.
Example- If I say all norwood fans are latte sipping poonces or all dogs fans are feral I'd like to think I'm not racist.
Grab a pack of caucasian printer paper and belt him over the head with it.

Just tell him you're part of an anti-idiot movement and can no longer talk to him.
Oh, and loads of different races live in Brisbane. ( And I'd add f'wit to the end of that sentence )

The best one I have heard is
"I'm not racist, I just hate anyone that's different"
P.s. stereotypical, not racist

Not racist but it's sexist because you didn't include a woman in the discussion.

I think people are friggin' mental.
Like the gross overreaction to Seth McFarlane hosting the Oscars.
According to his caravan of critics, he's racist, sexist, homophobic, encouraging paedophilia and a million other things.
Reminds me of that old joke...
How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
That's not funny.

I work in a strange world.
You have to laugh or you will go mad.
So many personalities need agreeing to.
We have no money for the important stuff because we are always trying to find money for managements poor decision making...
There seems plenty of money for stupid things but none for essential stuff.
I love my job but don't spend any money on the company credit card.
