kp i think everyone is joking on here for this one.
but keep in mind (and this is my attitude) one of the key was to exclude gays, other nationalities, religions etc... is to exclude them from humour. i work in the disabilty sector and staff joke about with the guys the same as everyone else, as long as the guys understand the joke and its respectfully done there is no problem imo. also, one of my closest friends is gay and he slags me for being a breeder as much as i slag him for being gay. no panic.
the world has gotten a little tense.
My thoughts exactly Flames. I recall an incident with a white lad in our office who was winding up / pulling the leg of an Asian lad. Then another pompous white member of staff pulled the white lad up for being racist. Then I pulled up the second white person and said having your leg pulled is part of life excluding the Asian lad from that banter because of the colour of his skin is treating him differently and is in effect racist in itself. I hear some of the hectoring “right on” stuff from Kop Prophet and it makes my skin crawl. We are all equal and that means having the Mickey taken out of you not being treated as like you need shielding all the time. I would hate to think people are treading on eggshells every time they spoke to me that is to my view worse than overt racism or homophobia or whatever
