I was half right then. (I wasn't being rude saying inferiority complex - those who are downtrodden and feel it)Yes and no over inferiority complex.
...but it is the name of their country. How can it be derogatory?**** was meant as derogatory and was very much used as in the 60's and 70's - from British media through to sitcoms. So yeah, quite right too we shouldn't use it and I am not sure if that's down to someone's thickness of skin and ability to shrug it off.
Has it become so because the thickos who used it in that way did not know the difference and used it to Indian people as well.
It would be derogatory to an Indian person; is that the reason?
Well maybe, is it because Japanese people don't call it Japan, do they? So is Nip viewed the same?If in America because its history and the use of Jap is still a no-no then fair enough.
I still don't accept it (or rather understand) especially when you consider what they do find acceptable LGBT.Trannie, well, if it's now offensive then it's offensive. Is it as simple as a shortened word? No, I don't think so. If it's meant as a derogatory term then it will carry weight for those it's targeted at.
What does the T stand for?
Partly - it is very complicated and doesn't rely on logic or common sense.Did that make any sense? Am tired as hell today!
What did you think about the word Gerry? Short for Gerald, short for German, and with a J, badly built and a chamber pot.
It would seem rife for being derogatory but it isn't.
Is it because the Germans don't feel inferior?
