Boy stabbed over 'racist' hello

afaik "dutchman" wasnt a slave name used to oppress the race. maybe i read the wrong textbook

Maybe not oppressed but don't forget the Afrikaners in concentration camps.

Some people are just too sensitive. I know some Afrikaans people are still offended when they are referred to as dutchmen, and some English people feel offended when they are called souties.
 
when you use derogatory terms in public and think its a big joke

Dude, African-Americans call each other derogatory terms, so by your logic they deserve to be stabbed?

Anyway it's the parent that said they do it as a joke.

There's no evil in the 2 boys sharing some sort of PC rebelious comradery. The evil is the pre-meditated cowardly gang ambush after a weekend cooling off.

The point is we can never really move on if people are always going to be hung up on this stuff.

Obviously it depends on the context in which it's used. If you're being serious then I agree it's not cool. But if it's a mutual friendly thing, then who cares?

Why doesn't anyone stab Eminem for calling his buddies ni66ers?
 
Government outlawing that word has made it more powerful as a hate driver than any other measure could possibly do. This is unfortunate. Parents who cannot explain the reason for a word being outlawed properly to their children bear the responsibility for the result when the word is used. However, the responsibility must exist on both sides, the ones offended by the illegal word must understand as well, and be schooled in how to deal with it.
