Re: So wtf is going on with Bulut?

In my opinion people who use phrases like "Go back to (insert country) are more likely to be a bit racist or bigoted than those that don't, or wouldn't. It's a bit ignorant at best.

Indeed

I think Monkfish is clearly not a member of the KKK

But there are plenty of other beauties out there and this is what I am referring to

Yet people for the sake of a ruck are arguing over semantics

As has been noted its enlightening

There are connotations in the phrase. Plenty of people who use it may not be racist or bigoted, although plenty that do, are.

German Turkish parents ?

Is that a fact? You know that to be true, do you? Or are you just making assumptions?

Re: So wtf is going on with Bulut?

It was similar to the post on here but a tad more obvious

It was removed after plenty of complaints

Really? Because the post you quoted it still there. You said it read as follows:

"Leave him in Turkey.....we don't want him back!"

It's all about context.

Are they from Norway ?

Are they Norwegian German?

Norwegian Turkish ?

Ukrainian?

Croatian ?

I will let you decide

Erol Bulut was born in Germany to German, German Turkish, mixed German Turkish parents

They may have described themselves as Turkish, German Turkish, mixed , etc

Do you think he's French of Australian parents ?

Make something up

I'll leave that to you.

So that's a no then

You think that erol bulut was born in Germany or he wasn't?

And that his parents were of Argentinian descent .....insert your choice

And that saying we .....as in us .....don't want someone and he should go back to Germany? ......is acceptable

Because this is what you are defending

I'm not so sure. If the phrase had no history behind it then I'd agree. It's dodgy ground in my opinion.

I'll leave that to you.

What do you think the origin of his parents are ?

Swiss

Dutch

Native American Indian

Port Talbot ?

My point wasn't to the fact of the "go back to where you came from", i just used that for emphasis, sadly it distracted from what i feel was the real racial slur of 'turkball'. The similarity with the term "wogball" is unquestionable. Plus he's got form.
why those opposed to Bulut are trying to defend it is more worrying. Scary place we live in now.
