The word 'uppity'

[SafetyMouse]

Indeed too...The word 'WOG;...?...It refers to ' A West oriental Gentleman.'..

What in the name of anything is wrong with saying someone is a 'West Oriental Gentleman'?

It's Westernised.......

lol but I don't think it's curtains for Eamonn just yet, following the backlash after the story broke, ITV have back-tracked somewhat. They're now saying he wasn't reprimanded but merely 're-educated'. either way he's surely not a happy bunny.

I really dislike the term 're-educated'. Who decides the re-educaters?

Uppity is like Mrs Bucket who likes to be called Mrs Bouquet and won't be seen talking to anyone outside their narrow minded group. Ring a bell????

Nah! Uppity is what they called American black slaves if they chose to profess their discontent with their lot.
They got a whipping. or worse.

I have not heard the term 'uppity' used in connection with the evil ownership of American slaves before.

27/09/2017 · Uppity Negroes fought for the right to vote. Uppity Negros studied hard and learned to use the system’s rules in order to transform the system itself. More recently, some seriously Uppity Negroes dared to proclaim the value of Black Lives in Ferguson, MO. Calling this country to live up to its ideals has always been the task of the Uppity Negro.

Discrimination because of one's skin colour is sick. We are all the same under the skin.

You tell that to the 'uppity one's' who live even now in the Southern States of America.
They have earned some progress, but not a lot!

That's not a thing.

There will surely come a time in the not too distant future when any form of interaction between men and women, any form of harmless fun pointed at another will land one up in court. I'm not suggesting in any way that we go back to the bad old days of "Love Thy Neighbour" on the TV, but Political Correctness has already gone WAY too far. There'll come a time when people are afraid to say ANYTHING to each other for fear of causing offence. When that time is reached all people will be able to do is to keep their thoughts to themselves. I for one hope I'm long gone by then
