Asian "Squat" Loo

[Scraggles]

actually he called them a bunch of fking st throwing tiggers, swap the t for an n and you get the idea, apparently it is baaad to use the N word, so will leave it for others to do so...

the poo was stuck to the cistern and had seeped between the wall and the cistern, all over the seat etc, seems a complaint of the smell was made by someone born in india....

"Ethnics"? FFS.

Quite. You missed out commenting on the misplaced apostrophe though, true hallmark of the simpleton.

fk me, do people really call others "ethnics"? PH never ceases to amaze.

Across the road at my last place this fat, sweaty, middle-aged simpleton wanted to ask me a favour (the first time he'd spoken to me in 5 years). Because I'm big, have tats and a shaven head he thought he'd get into my good books by sharing his views on foreigners, and I quote; "Before long, we'll be having them P***s buying up houses in the village. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not ethnic or anything." In addition to his grammatically correct yet logically nonsensical statement he'd probably never seen a Pakistani in his life, let alone spoken to one, and wouldn't be able to distinguish such a person from any other non-white. He never did get his favour.

Hell yes. It's the widely accepted, generally PC but slightly edgy term for darky foreign types.

I've heard a simialr story, from a reliable source. A local chicken factory was getting through untold numbers of loo seats until it realised it needed to include 'how to use a sitting toilet' in the emplyee induction for the immigrant labour employed.

I first saw it in on a Daily Mail front page last week when I was visiting the UK.

Did the Mail coin the phrase?

Doesn't seem very "generally PC" to me. The point of the phrase is presumably to lump together all the darky foreign types for the purpose of stirring up the usual "oh noes we'll be overrun" hysteria.

No not at all. The term has been around for several years. It's just a short form of Ethnic Minorities. I guess it could be deemed offensive because it lumps all dark / foreign types together. That's why I say it is slightly edgy.

I first heard it in a marketing meeting. It was used in the context of, "we need to understand why the ethnics are not buying our product".

How else do you describe people that are not white?

In my experience, it's normally used in a derogatory fashion when abbreviated - the last time i heard it was at a friend's dinner party - his dad had married a new lady who did like to rant about 'ethnics' but kept apologising to me (presumably as i'm not white) for using the term. Therefore in her eyes, it was a term she used within her circle of friends but probably wouldn't shout about it, in a shopping mall for example.

I had no idea this was so important. It's just a frigging toilet in Manchester for fks sake.

Exactly. A sthole within another sthole so as to speak.

'Ethnics'?

FFS we are all ethnics in this country. White is also an ethnicity.

Referring to someone simply as an 'ethnic' is a meaningless statement but I guess those who use it are too thick to realise.

Do the Arab/Asian airlines have them in planes?

It isn't the thick; I'm quite sure they still use wop/frog/spic/.

But sadly decades of meeting near enough any valid noun, no matter how appropriate, with "that's RAY-CIST!" has left us with only the ludicrous.

No

But I did fly 1st class on Saudi Airlines once and the bog was a mess as the locals had used it (The sink I hope) to clean their feet before praying.

There was a Mecca compass so everyone could face the right way when praying but it did look daft to see everyone shuffling about as the plane kept changing direction on it's climb out of Heathrow.

"Ethnics" is short for "ethnic minorities". I can see why you'd need to save the four syllables if you were using the term repeatedly. But why would you, unless you were in a Daily Mail editorial meeting?

Where I live there are lots of different ethnicities. I don't recall ever needing to group a bunch of them together in conversation.

Using these sorts of terms plays into the hands of the non-jobbers. Once you recognise that the "ethnics" need to be grouped together for whatever reason, the cahncil will decide it needs a whole department to defend their rights, build them toilets etc.

Was the flight that bad?

Exactly. The one example I gave previously, a company was concerned that only white people were buying their luxury product. The monied ethnics were not. They chose another brand. There was nothing derogatory in the discussion. The company wanted to understand how to increase their sales.

Yes I can see that. Perhaps the lady in question would have previously used terms like "coloured". It's not exclusively derogatory. See my example for it's use. Also, it's quite simply used as a short form for ethnic minorities.

i don't tend to use the term ethnic, generally asians all get lumped into a shortened version of Pakistani and blacks tend to be refereed as something rhyming with tigger

for some reason, some people get upset at these terms, but when they use it, there is no offence :>)
