    The term "half-breed" is so errrrr.... I don't even know what to say, I just don't like it.. Mixed race is better.. I'm referring to Eurasian's post btw
    I use it in hope (no very much) of ridding the word of it's derogatory contations. It's the same thing with the word "*****". Plus I like the word .

    All things being equal; someone start the "White Society"
    I don't see how that would makes things "equal".

    you know I said the same thing when someone started the "black soc" I reckon if someone starts a "white soc" people will call them racists or something.. That's the main reason why socs like this are a bit of a shaky topic

    I didnt say it would; I said, all things being equal, there should be one.

    That word IS derogatory and the use should be banned IMO.. I really dislike the word :mad:

    As derogatory as some words are, you can't exactly ban them, that's just thought control :p:

    I'm English and Irish. That makes me mixed race.
    No it doesn't. Just because they have it as separate races in job applications don't mean anything. If you were half caucasian half negroid you'd have a better case IMO.

    I misread, sorry. As Dimexi already stated, the society will most probably be subject to scrutiny.

    You don't decide what determines a race, bumberclart.

    As for the BNP, what a ridiculous concept, British racial purity. Us British, one of the most mongrel races on Earth, excluding others because they somehow aren't as British as us. the BNP is an embarrassment to this country, you don't represent anything but racism and backward thinking, you exacerbate the problems with multi-culturalism that you are oh so quick to point out, and aren't even brave enough anymore to say what you mean. You've dressed up your core beliefs in political ********. You have less credibility than any other political party, because not only have you politiked and diluted your beliefs, you're all a bunch of racist tossers who no one likes and who most of us would ship out as quickly as you would ethnic minorities.

    Good idea! But really, I feel only Blond blue eyed people should join. Because there are a lot of people…including certain middle eastern people…that are white ^o) and they’re not even European

    So, do YOU look Nordic? i.e. tall, blond hair & blue eyes :p:

    I'm afraid I don't, I'll have to set up the "Tall white people with red hair and brown eyes" society. Furthermore, I think there should be "Quite tall" "Average" "Quite short" subdivisions.

    No the disctionary did which I used. I find it laughable on how certain nationalities are confused with race.

    Ah yes we're mongrels. No more mongrel than other nations in Europe. I ammuse you think we're mongrel because of the Saxons, Normans and Vikings. Most of the British population in this country still have a high Celtic ancestory in them.

    Excuse me - with that highlighting on "German" I would say you're just about to offend my home country! I myself am half Asian and half German, but I was born in Germany, and yes, although there may be some racists in Germany, your comment suggests that we're all racists. Thank you very much! :mad:

    And yeah, by the way, in the US there are also a lot of Germans or people from German origins - would you say they are all racists??? :mad:

    So has a doctor diagnosed you as being mentally deficient, or was it just a conclusion you and those close to you have reached over the years?

    Because of historical invasions Germany is mixed with Italian, Denmark and Poland. And Poland is mixed with Belarus, Ukraine and Russia etc. Thing is this often goes amiss and the invaded forces that entered this island didn't have a profound affect on the inhabitants to the extent that the Celts were completely wiped out. One of the reasons why I hate Anglosaxon being used as a term to mean English.
