Yep, still don't understand this pikey/caravan thing, just seems mildy racist if anything. Now if we were to call them the chavmeisters, that would make sense.

Same here. Never got the connection between Palace and travellers. Just seems to be a general derogatory term, but not actually based on anything, unless I'm missing something.

Pretty much. Same as how some of our fans call Millwall pikeys. Complete rubbish based on nothing.

Racist...... FFS it's banter. I've seen that joke played out on various forums, Cardiff referring to Swansea, Bolton / Blackburn etc etc

And how do you think the Pikeys feel about being likened to someone living in Swansea, Blackburn or Croydon? You didn't even think to spare a thought for them did you? :angry:

Racist? :lolol: :ffsparr:

It's pretty unoriginal but it's definitely not racist in any shape or form, is it?

Depends on where your definition of 'race' stops. Some ethnicity monitoring surveys include 'Member of the Irish traveling community' and as such, any generalisms or slurs could be considered discriminatory and/or racist.

It's pretty much tantamount to saying people from Croydon are the N word or any other racial slur to be honest.

Its the same level of idiocy as us calling you all of the homophobic rubbish that we do. Both are stupid and make both our sets of fans look like idiots to the wider world but alas that's the situation.

So a racial insult is the same as calling someone a pikey? You cannot be serious. It's childish, but hey take a look at your forum and see what your fans refer to most of us as. Like I say, it's childish but it's most definitely not equivalent to being racist. No way.

Read my post history, you'll soon see exactly what I think of the homophobic slurs we send your way.

And yes, Pikey is a racial slur aimed at the Irish Travelling Community and is therefore a racist term.
