• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Colo(u)red, while deprecated, is not a slur.

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    No one ever said that white people are inherently racist, just that they don't have to deal with the problem of being discriminated against due to their race nearly as much as... any other race, essentially. Regardless, pejoratives should be avoided.

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Oh, so pejorative terms are perfectly fine as long as the group targeted isn't being oppressed by the term! That makes perfect logical sense!

    Incidentally, faggot is the British spelling of fagot; a bundle of something, typically sticks. Faggot as a pejorative term referring to a homosexual is a word of American origin first used in the early 20th century whose exact etymology is unknown.

    Erm... might want to rethink your choice of words there.

    Racism & Other Prejudices

    Probably that this is a Serious Business thread, and thus should probably be about a subject that can reasonably be debated. I'm pretty sure all of us here agree that racial prejudices are wrong. Unless, you know, there's some white supremacist members who'd like to share their views with us...
