But since I’m gay I was just frustrated over the fact that you use the term faggot all the time, and since you were correcting people about a term you find genuinely offensive I was confused as to why you then use fag when you know other people are offended by it. Eddie, in Sydney we have a group called Lads, they’re generally rich kids who get bored and decide to mug and harass people. Also some of my friends who go to art school seem to dress too creatively to fit into one group, do you think there’s another category just for eccentricsJulianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230232222104567527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-12451131631940060522008-12-05T16:24:00.000-08:002008-12-05T16:24:00.000-08:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSRX3v_JGgk&fea...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSRX3v_JGgk&feature=related<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the program "Peep Show"?<BR/>Its the best thing on television right nowAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28525168.post-5702609503919967232008-12-05T16:13:00.000-08:002008-12-05T16:13:00.000-08:00Im sorry if I hit a nerve with Mike Peters.

With a hint of sarcasm.<BR/><BR/>"Jorge- How can one be offended by Hispanic? Last time I checked, it's just a broader alternative to Latino. Why exactly would Latino be "preferred"?" And let's remember neither term has to do with race, just ancestry."<BR/><BR/>Because Hispanic comes from "Spain" but the people of Spain are of different origins and racial make-up than the Indians, Ladinos, and Meztizos that live in South America. I am the same race, as a Guatemalan, as a Meztizo from Brazil, than from a white person from Spain. Yet the term Hispanic excludes non-Spanish speaking countries. The term Latino does not include any European country but it does include Brazil, although it should be noted Brazil has lots of races in it, from Black to White.<BR/><BR/>Actually, all of Latin-America has black people and white people, but the term Latino means Meztizo, Latin or Indian people from Latin-American countries. Black people from Latin-America usually identify as black, not latino.<BR/><BR/>The term "latino" is our word. The term "hispanic" is our "slave name," as John Leguizamo so succinctly put it.<BR/><BR/>"Jorge, tell you what you can whine about people using the term hispanic when you stop yelling faggot in order to make some half-assed attempt at being Anti-PC and edgy."<BR/><BR/>That's very uninteresing.<BR/><BR/>Also, what the fuck is up with all the anonymous posting lately? What is this, 4chan? It's not as if Eddie is known to attack people for disagreeing with him.
