if you don't remember "jew" as an insult then either you weren't there very long or you have some rather rosy-tinted specs!Hannoir wrote:I dont recall ever hearing the word Jew used as an insult when I was there.
I know there was a jewish kid there when i was, and a hindu student too. They seem to give bibles to everyone, didnt ask us if we were of no faith or whatever.
it was used throughout the time i was there.
apparently they give out other faith books to those of other faiths. something they kept very quiet, bibles are cheaper presumably as it is en masse. i would have gone for something interesting like the baghavad gita, sure i'm not alone on that one.
it stands to reason, if you have had bible stuff shoved down your throat for seven years, wouldn't you rather receive something different for a change?
asians really got the sh*t end of the stick when it came to name-calling, especially from the blacks. something i still don't undertstand.
