Anyone else think Sambo's username is slightly RACIST?

Your better off changing it to shovel then you can put the shit that spouts from your mouth back where it came from.

I would've thought a spade would suffice?

What is the difference between a shovel and a spade, can a shovel do a better job than a spade at shovelling stuff? And.............oh riiiigt SHOVELling, i get it now.

 

[tinx]

I thought a spade and a shovel were the same thing?

I always thought the word 'Sambo' was a derogatory term for a black person.

Maybe you're the racist for bringing it up. Like golliwogs on jam jars. Personally it never crossed my mind.

Change it to ****** (What? He's the dog from The Dambusters)

Why do people get offended by thing slike this anyway, Safeway posted this in jest and some people really have taken it too far. Getting offended by someone username. Unbeleivable, a sensitive lot we have here.

well even if he's being post-ironic or wahetver, his username is most definitely perceived as racist, by me as a sample of one. even if he didn't think of this at the time, and i'd be rather surprised if he didn't, it should be changed immediately.

right. In my defence. im not racist one bit, it is simply that most of my friends call me Sambo, and i dont think they are being racist to me either! Wozza wouldnt change my name, so i went to A.N.Other Admin. as tinx said, people are taking it too far! where is the love?!?

 

[REDLAND]

Its political correctness gone mad, take no notice Sambo

 

[Italiaseagull]

Sambo change your name to Macaroon immediatley!

 

[Hilton]

It's just a name!!! It's not being used to offend anyone is it!! Leave him alone!

 

[Sam]

cheers redland, i didnt even know that sambo might have been racist until wozza said something! i hope that people werent being racist to me! (im not coloured either so i dont see how they can be racist). the world has gone mad

 

[Safeway]

If I'm totally honest I don't find your name in the slightest bit offensive. After all, where would we be without a little racism in the world?

The idea of this thread was to get the saps on this board going and I'm pleased to see it worked (again). I know I should grow up a bit when you can get a rise soooo easily the temptation is always there.

 

[Hamilton]

hadn't crossed my mind.

Is anyone offended by it?

what's a spade?

 

[rool]

For the record, Im not bothered about the user name as I often say Im going for a Sambo when I go for a Sandwich. What does bother me is the moderators ignoring the real issues when they gut so hung up on trivial things.

For your info Safeway, I happen to live in the Munster region of Ireland. I don't get your sense of humour though. The idea of posting something inflammatory as a joke or wind up is beyond me, and if it is offensive you can expect people to respond accordingly.
