Rihanna complains about lack of privacy on Polish beach

Des do you have to try and provoke,with each and every post?

Yes it is, Des is correct here as is Shawn who flagged it up much earlier

You mean the complex is common or the 'princess' is?


You are the one claiming that using an Arabic original word is less acceptable than "strolling the boulevard with an open container of suds, regardless of the country in which one saunters." Would you really like to go for a walk with a beer in your hand in Saudi? If so, we could probably have a whip round for your ticket.

I wonder if many Saudis have ever seen Rihanna. I can't imagine that many photos of her can be printed there.

Can we all just agree that woman is positively repugnant. She's got the face of a pug and five head on top of it -blech!

I dont like all of her music but I would never dream of calling her a mulata

I wouldn't dream of calling it music.

Some of it is not bad

Maybe you should mix in the Afro-Caribbean community a little more, there are lots kids running around the streets of east and south London who regard themselves as mulatta/o they embrace the name as it gives them identity, because everyday they know they are not white and they know they are not black. They understand the word has its origins in Arabic.

Barney it does not matter what you dream of, their world is not as PC as your world.

That's the stuff she doesn't write (or have any creative involvement in) and has her vocals 'adjusted' on.

Actually she's quite pretty. If you don't believe me, ask some 16 year old boys:)


agree, some of it is rather good.


Maybe you're just showing your age Harry:)

Everyone under the age of 40 is pretty:)

It's not quite irrelevant though. Some Poles are very racist hence why they may have been staring at her. Sure, it had more to do with celebrity status but I don't think the writer is at fault. Some people in Poland (especially those living in villages) may have never even seen a black person before!


Na, Harry is right. Her music sucks but I'd definitely plow her.

Compared to a place like USA there is no racism in Poland whatsoever.


And that makes them racist?

Per capita, Poles are a lot more likely to be racist and anti-Semitic than Americans. Please don't say ********. I've met many Polish immigrants and so many of them were prejudice.


No...

Anyway, I think most guys were interested in Rihanna's ass. (The non-racist portion anyway)

Was it Chris Brown who said "I'd hit that"?

I have done this. Also very frequently strolled through town with a J, though that is rather more acceptable there.


They drool over her on YouTube.


That's what it's all about.

It is I'm afraid.
If you called my mixed-raced mates that, they wouldn't be too impressed with you.


+1


I doubt that. I've been here for 4 years, there's plenty of different races making a life now in Poland.


Obviously you've never been to Poland, eh?

the UK

I have to disagree with you both the word mulatto is not racist whatsoever in the UK or Ireland, the PC crowd will have you believe the entomology of mulatto has its origins from mulas in Spanish, although this is simply PC propaganda.

Mulatto entomology is in the Arabic language term muwallad, which means "a person of mixed ancestry". Muwallad literally means, "born, begotten, produced, generated; brought up, raised; born and raised among Arabs (but not of pure Arab blood)

In Portuguese, the term mestiço is used to describe people of mixed European and African ancestry.

of course it is, don't be silly, where i am from anyway.
perhaps if you are from some distant backward province it is different.

I have noticed there are 2 types of people on page 3:
-rational people
-emotional people


Seeing as a 16 year old boy will find an old woman attractive if the breeze is blowing hard enough I won't rely on their opinons. That woman is ugly as sin and without make up she'd be a horror show. I am convinced the only reason she has fame is because she is willing to do the most depraved sex acts for whichever producers have marketed her.

Modern dictionaries are often seen as mirrors, reflecting how we use the language. They include colloquial expressions, vulgarity and jargon. Terms considered "derogatory" or "offensive" are often clearly marked. Mulatto is not flagged in any dictionary including urban dictionary.

If you can provide me with a credible source I would be interested, otherwise as I previously mentioned another leftist PC propaganda spiel.

Nonsense, the word is unacceptable

Would you be kind enough to provide a link or should I refer you to the posting guidelines.


What is unacceptable is that the 1701 act of settlement is still active in the UK and has not been reformed.

Mulatto is a common usage word.

I have to agree with rozumiemnic.

"Mulatto" is not a common term used in the UK. In fact, I don't believe I have ever heard it being used !

I must be from a distant backward province then, because I wouldn't consider the word to be offensive. I'd say that it is old fashioned, archaic even, and it's not a word that I'd use myself (I'd probably go with 'mixed race') but not offensive.

The Jim Crow Museum of racist memorabilia apparently has no problem using the word

Indeed, such Spanish people would have just called them 'mulas', in the same way that they used 'marrano' ( pig in Spanish) to describe Jews that converted to Christianity.

Of course, with that said, there is a distinct chance that 'mulatto' might go the same way as 'chinaman' (i.e. wasn't an offensive term until some people claimed it racist and then became impossible to use because some people considered it to be racist).

lol possibly Harry but as you are veh veh cagy about where u are really from,will have to take your word for it!!

The place where I've spent the largest amount of time is Warsaw.
Got to admit that I've never heard anybody here using the word 'mulatto'. And I'd be surprised to hear anybody from my generation in the UK use it. I'd be less surprised to hear it used by my mother's generation and not at all surprised to hear it used by my grandmother's generation.

If you go to areas with a large multi-cultural community in the UK, especially in London, mulatto is a common word and not negative, do you really expect street kids to say "yeah man I'm mixed race, bi-racial, half-caste or multi-cultural." they embrace mulatto as being cool and giving them an identity, some of the most beautiful people in the world are of mixed blood.


Mulatto is all about blood not race.
