Quoting thehandsom

 

 

what is it you dont agree exactly?

Tell us how using those words in the context given is NOT RACIST..

Think of a context like similar to Ros´s new..Think that some foreigners says ´Oh Look at this . Turks are coming along with their culture, education etc etc..´ and suddenly another person is coming along and saying ´a donkey is still a donkey even with a golden saddle´

That is a racist comment to me..

 

 

I was just defending the proverb itself

 

Your example at the moment is just a proof to my idea... proverb itself cant be racist, but the usage of it by a person can make it sound as so. So its the users mistake

Well no one in the first place insisted that proverb itself was racist..

What I said was the usage of it in THAT CONTEXT was  racist.. 

So you agree with that..

Thanks...

 

btw..dont take it personally, there are many people here and in Turkey would NOT think it was racist.. and they would think it was a very normal thing to say or belittle Kurds/Armenians/their culture etc.. And they would be surprised later on why they have been called ´racist´

The comment by Jeth is racist in this context based on my standards. The post is edited and a warning is sent to the sender.

 If they put a golden saddle on a donkey, the donkey is still a donkey.

Your guess, but like L.I.R. I guess he disagrees with the article

 

 You forgot about the translation of the insulting post {#emotions_dlg.bigsmile}. Not all understand turkish but all of us understand english ...

True, but I don´t want to be deleting/editing too many posts. The quoted/translated parts can stay to make it clear that such language is considered racist here and is not allowed.

I read the article.

 

Its just another sided article. The people who are referred on the article are in close contact with the terrorists.

 

The writer is hypocrite becouse he supports the killers. What more discousting is he does that in selected paragraphs which are sprinkled amongt a wedding ceramonies memories. Becouse everybody enjoys and feels sypathy to new groons and brides.

 

However, while the terrorists couse thousands of people to die they also obstacled my Kurdish brothers to recieve public services. Terrorists condemned my Kurdish brothers into poverty.

 

Don´t worry. We are solving the problems in Turkey. I offer the EU citizens and American writers to focus on their own possible ethnical conflicts that will appear after the economic depression widened.

 I think the fact that he gleefully introduced one of the pictures with the captions that some found in poor taste into his personal profile tells you a lot.
