Re: My two-year-old knows enough to say "thank you". Stephen Send a noteboard - 15/04/2011 04:59:16 PM
We're still working on "please", and when she puts too much food in her mouth she then opens her mouth and lets it drop out but she's only 2 and she already knows that we don't like her doing that so she tries to spit over something that will catch the food, like a plate.

Of course, we had guests not too long ago from Moscow (my wife's friends) who had an 8-year-old who greeted us by saying "Heil Hitler". The parents sort of laughed it off by saying he plays video games all the time, but I thought that was very disturbing nonetheless, for a lot of reasons (not the least being that the mother was Russian Jewish and both parents were Russian).


If he's saying "Heil Hitler" due to playing video games all the time, I think his parents need to limit what he's allowed to play. Whatever the root cause, I do agree, that is unacceptable and disturbing.

Re: Pretty much my reaction. - 15/04/2011 07:26:22 PM 675 Views
"Paki" is used self-referentially in the States without being a slur. Cool your jets. - 15/04/2011 08:07:26 PM 874 Views

Re: Why would you think that you know it's a slur in the UK, but I wouldn't? - 15/04/2011 08:47:50 PM 604 Views

You are correct. Your interlocutors are stupid. *NM* - 16/04/2011 02:25:56 AM 320 Views

Interesting. I have not seen that here. *NM* - 16/04/2011 11:50:27 PM 238 Views
Much less than you'd think, given that is considered racist over here in the UK unlike the US. *NM* - 15/04/2011 04:26:54 PM 241 Views
Even aside from the use of the word "Paki"... - 15/04/2011 07:36:41 PM 576 Views
Well, they aren't racially British, so "anti-British racism" is by definition inapplicable here. - 15/04/2011 08:04:36 PM 650 Views

Methinks you have a rather narrow definition of "race". - 15/04/2011 11:14:51 PM 854 Views
I disagree. - 15/04/2011 11:34:44 PM 668 Views
I don't understand why you're so upset about this. - 16/04/2011 03:34:23 AM 579 Views

Yeah, My kid would also be in trouble if he behaved this way. - 15/04/2011 08:13:50 PM 597 Views
