S. America & ignorance

Says on tin- you been there, you think you are anywhere near understanding, comments received, the nonsense on main forum from knuckle draggers is what it is, the personal attacks, the generalisations, on the closed thread, speak for theirselves, the posters are fools coming away with that nonsense, the view of not many people knowing & caring about South America is typical bullying.

I do feel he could have worded his post slightly better to put that across. ha

Were people posting ignorant comments, or were people posting to say ignorant comments are nonsense. Confused.

The way Americans say "oh my gawwwwd!" is extremely irritating.

Ask away, you experts on South America. Personally, having spent time working & living there with loads of quality people who I now call friends, the stereotype drug barons & ladyboys nonsense is tiring at times to me, who knows what it’d be like to someone from there, lots of class on display before on this quality site, strengthened by your solid ‘WTF’- I suggest if you’ve not got anything negative or positive to say about a place, possibly because you’ve never even BEEN there, save it for what you actually DO know about!

when you go on about people making assumptions, look in the mirror.

some people made comments that were viewed as ignorant by other people.

it was more a lazy stereotype but certainly not needing a rant which needed the Rosetta stone to work out.

Such casual racism! Speaking for yersel, eh? That makes it all good? That stuff on main forum on deleted Dr budge thread is out of order! You people giving it aw your enlightened than others are o o order! The nonsense references to Bangkok/ladyboys/drug barons/cocaine, well, we say the shower on the other side of the city, the poppy theives, have zero class, check out the class of the “fans” remarks towards fellow Hibees on the closed Dr budge & us investors thread. Look at yersels, 1st, with that kind of talk.

I think you'll find that Brazil is about one-hundred kilometers longer north to south.

I'm no expert on South America, but I'm reasonably certain Bangkok isn't there.

What’s Bangkok got to do with South America? :confused:

Albanians and chorizo.

There was a prison riot in Brazil, heads were cut off, then used as footballs.

Machu Pichu looks nice.

There’s some South American balance from a guy who’s never been.

No one really knows mate :greengrin

I'm going to Rio de Janeiro next month and I've been to Bangkok.

Does that help? :dunno:

Well I for one will be boycotting the forum until this lazy stereotyping stops.

If I see Aberdeen fans accused of bothering sheep, Celtic fans told to have a wash or Hearts fans painted as cardigan wearing, Rover driving, sexually frustrated bores I swear I'll do time. Actually the last one is probably true.

PS I've been to South America and used a 'mind altering substance' there. I'm not sure if that makes me a stereotype or not.

No, but your chances of ever being a fans rep just sailed up the River Plate.

I don't know which country boasts the greatest distance east to west, but am tormented by the thought that it would be the widest country in the world east to west, rather than the longest east to west. I feel that in saying this I may be guilty of an unduly Mercatorist world view.

I have never been to South America or spoken to a ladyboy.

Result!

I hope we reach some sort of "peak outrage" moment that is like the social media version of the financial crisis of 2007 that sees this need to portray mock outrage at every possible subject crumble before our very eyes.

I've spent time in South America, have friends from there, they are the first ones to take the piss about the stereotypes of SA.

you people?

please don't group me with those who seem to have offended your sensitive soul. I never commented on the original thread and I've said nothing here that's untrue.

perhaps others would take your concerns more seriously if you expressed them them in a coherent manner.

the admin posters would have quickly shut down any comments they felt crossed a line.

like I said, you know nothing about me so before you go slinging mud, have a think.

Cheers Jimmy - I hadn't ventured onto that thread so was completely bamboozled by this. However, even with my new context of reading that thread, this is a car crash!

Hope all is well J :agree:
