Yes it is. Unfortunately, there are quite a few "vocal" racists here at CP. It is a shame...

It could be considered so, if you forget that this is a geeks site and we always take the piss out of each other. It could also seem so if you are one of those people that think racism is a unidirectional phenomenon.

Oh, yes we do take the mick, but we should not condone racist jibes. Its just distasteful. Do we really need to do that? Surely we can rise above that.....

We are all Racist. Certainly during the World Cup I was rooting for England, I didn't want the nasty Hun to beat us, but they did. So I showed my racist colours. I am sure you would shout loudly for England too.

You are joking right? I can only hope that your comment was in fun. Just because you were rooting for England doesn't make you a racist...you know that don't you.

I was wondering why the GIT and GCT were started and it just struck me! To keep the drivel out of the lounge! It is working great! Very cunning of CG. :) But seriously, what exactly is the point of a 'hinglish' lounge on a English programming site?
Why don't we spice up your question with a hinglish answer? ;P 'Hinglish' -- a mixture of Hindi and English widely spoken in India may soon become the most common form of the Queen's language, according to a British expert. And as ancient as it can get: http://www.rediff.com/news/2004/oct/17hing.htm[^]

And if you consider it racist (which I don't) it could only be considered 'gently racist', to (possibly) coin a phrase. It could also be considered as a stereotyping remark without any overt racist intent. It could also be considered factual, from any direction, as most people have difficulty in distinguishing members of other races/ethnic groupings from a quick glance, unless there are dramatically distinguishing features, my beard and thinning pate for example.

Interesting read. I wonder how far that has progressed in the intervening 6 years.

You know guys Indians are more intelligent and hard working :rolleyes:. For the site popularity purpose CP has started the GIT as the separate forum as CP Admin knows that 'hinglish' lounge on a English programming site is more important than 'English' lounge on a English programming site. :laugh:

What the fuck is a gentle racist? You either are an asshole or you are not. I never heard of someone being a gentle asshole...have you?

A gentle racist is the opposite end of the racist scale from a violent racist, many of whom I have had the misfortune to meet. Whilst it is true that you cannot be slightly pregnant, there are degrees of racism. Just as there varieties of ass-hole, once again I have encountered many during my life, and continue to do so an an almost daily basis.

I for one hope that it hasn't progressed at all. :~

I suspect you do not understand the term Race. The English are a Race. The French are a Race. A Race is a Nationality or Group based on Cultural Similarities and Shared Heredity... Example... a group of persons related by common descent or heredity. or a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race. or any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race. It is from the French 'Razza' meaning Lineage. To apply it to the Phenotypes of Humanity, Caucasion, Mongoloid or Negroid is a relatively recent diversion from it's original meaning. Although, Oddly Indians are Caucasion. Discuss.
