Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

My dog's name is Murzyn :O because he's black :D,
personally I think of this word as inappropriate to call a black person anyway since I'm the foreigner:D :D my wife thinks the same.

If I may, can somebody explain me why in the pics jon posted is used "murzyn" instead of some version which is an insult for black people ? Because it rhymes ?

All words rhyme with something.

It was a question for the poles Jon. Considering it's a neutral word why it's used in thos pics, they could've used one of the insulting versions to make their point.

Off-Topic / Advice about a job offer abroad [8]

Hello everyone!
I received recently a job offer abroad ( in Luxembourg ), the offer is quite good, it comes with some help to relocate ( about 4 k € ), this is the offer from Company A. In the meantime I had an interview from Company B which is my favourite ( smaller company, better structure, better benefits etc). In the hurry to not lose both companies I have accepted the offer from Company A but I haven't signed the contract yet, the start date is for 1-st of November.

Now, I am wondering what happens if Company B also offers me the job? How to tell to A that I am not going to sign the contract? I got the contract from them yesterday and I can probably wait until weekend before I will have to sign it but I really really want to work at B.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your answer to the post. Well in that case the situation is pretty clear. I will go with A.

@Ziemowit
Technically yes, from some source inside the company B I know it takes a week +/-1 day for them to decide. Tomorrow will be exactly 1 week from the interview with them. Now I am basically stalling the offer from A and hoping I will get an answer soon from B.

I was also thinking to call B and ask them about my chances since I am walking on thin ice here, I can't stall forever, but I don't want to annoy them.... I don't know what to do...

Wait until the beginning of next week and then you could call them if you feel you must

That's what I wanted to to initially, but the HR from A keeps emailing me.

Presumably you made it clear to them at the interview that you were very keen to work for them

I did Atch, I told them how I feel about the company and the possibility to work for them.

Don't sign the contract until next week anyway.

That's what I will do, let's see on Monday if the recruiter from A still wants to talk to me, if he doesn't - no problem, their loss :D

Thanks Atch, helpful as always :)
