So let me see if I have this right. You hate Italians because SOME of them call Romanians gypsies? and you hate Hungarians because they don't care to learn your language? Do I have that right? No ALL of them consider us gypsies. Not some--> all Regarding Hungary we hate them they hate us for historical reasons. If you want I can explain them but let's drop this. Yes I think that it would be correct that if you live in a foreign country you should learn the country's language. So if I stay for 1000 years in England shouldn't I learn your language?? Do you know all Italians? No. You're generalising. I'm sure there is some racism towards Romania there, but it's not fair to say that all Italians think that. I think you should be careful about what you say about "hating" other nationalities, considering what it says in the TOS.

I was just sitting here thinking about the 'N' word as I'm reading over this thread ..... I've always hated hearing it... and never let it come out my month. It always seem very vulgar to me. I grew up in a multi-culture city... you had every race imaginable. Most of my friends were of other nationalities and I wouldn't imagine using or even thinking of a racial slur. My uncle who lived more in the country would visit from time to time and use the 'N' word all the time. Him and I would really get into heavy, heated discussions about him using that word. I would get so mad and told him I didn't want him to use that word in my presents... (mind you, I was only about 8 or 9 at the time) He being a grown man and having this type of discussion with an 8/9 year old, didn't want to hear it... he would continue using the word. It would get me so mad I even stop talking to him for the longest time... all 5 of his children would also use the word! A few years later I was going to my friends apartment complex, we were walking up in the parking lot and some people up in the balcony shout down to me "Get outta here you white honky, we don't want your kind 'round here!" I was a little shocked by this... but it really didn't phase me all that much... I've been called honky many times since.. but it never bothered me in the least. I've even had friends call me honky (joking around of course) but nevertheless, it never bothered me... but when someone uses the 'N' word I get all upset and I'm white! I hated the word sooooo much that in middle school, when I was told I had to read "Huckleberry Finn" out loud during class one day, I actually would skip over anytime it had the 'N' word. My teacher got very upset and told me it was ok for me to read it because it was part of the text. I protested and said I will not read it and you can't make me read it... and I told him it was against my beliefs to read such vulgar words! My teacher kept insisting but I held my ground and wouldn't do it. He wasn't happy with it and everyone in the class just thought it was hilarious! I felt pretty good about it... I stood up for what I that was the right thing to do.... But you know there is one thing that just puzzles me.... why is it I get so offended by it.. but if someone uses a racial slur against me.. it doesn't bother me? Sorry for the long post, but this thread really made me think about it...

I've been asked if here in Romania we have cell phones, cars computers, INTERNET. I said no we have flying pigeons and horses. We are not a 3rd world country. We live in Europe. I know many of them hate us because we played a friendly game a football against them and the spectators called all our players gypsies. The only country that likes us is France. GO FRANCE!!

So your opinion on Italians comes from someone who asked you stupid questions, and some football fans. Hmm.

No, from someone that just returned from Italy and was treated like crap by a lot's of people.

I was once asked if we had electricity 'over there in England'. Who cares? Just because a small minority are mis-informed, or un-informed doesn't give you any kind of grounds upon which you can claim you hate them.

I have been waiting for a number of years for someone to try to insult me for being white, because I have never had it happen and I think it would be funny.
I just now decided what I want to say. I hope I remember it.
"Hey, honky! Hey, cracker!" "Me?" "Yeah you, white boy!" "I will try not to let it happen again."

And? I was once asked if we had electricity 'over there in England'. I got asked if I have servants. I dislike the use of racial slurs, against any nation. Hate people because they suck, not because of their race.
