Turban brotherhood term racist?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Turban brotherhood term racist?

Posted: 9/12/2004 6:56:32 PM EDT

I use the term Turban Brotherhood fairly often as i think its funny and not very insulting therefore its work safe. Well i post a topic over on military photos about the idiots getting smoked celebrating on the destroyed bradley. I used the term and now i am being jumped by a bunch of Canadians calling me ignorant, a bigot etc.

So i bring up the fact that they routinely call Americans rednecks, hicks, and commonly refer to our President as a monkey and ask them if that isnt being racist.

I guess it isnt.

I like "low down egg sucking dogs" but "turban brotherhood" works for me too.

I'm offended that they take offense, so will they STFU?

Good grief, if we can't poke fun at the people we're at war with, who can we poke fun at?

Stick it to them Agcsy! I hardly consider Turban Brotherhood a racial slur, compared to <Slurs removed.> Remember, political correctness is a pilar of communism, and we're not friggin PINKOS ARE WE???
