I messaged Stuart42 about a hub he was selling, seeing if he was firm on his price.

In his reply, he referred to some hubs as "chinky garbage"...

"Not at that price, it's a swiss made hub, not some chinky garbage.
You can upgrade this hub do direct drive also.
Cheers"

Don't buy off of this guy!

Stuart42 used a shitty word. Not sure we can definitely conclude that he must be a racist.

People who are racist use words like that.

What if I dropped the 'N' bomb to describe how black something was?

What if I compared someone's drunken state to that of a native Canadian?

All racist, which ever way it is put. I also have to keep in mind the lack of maturity that exists in the PinkBike community... It's disappointing that in this day and age people still accept this kind of thing.

Racism is racism, however prevalent it is. Your parents should be ashamed of you.

Saying a racist word does not necessarily make that person a racist. It makes them ignorant and offensive and ill-educated, but maybe a "Oi you, that's not acceptable for these reasons..." would be a better place to start than a good old-fashioned internet-shaming.

You're right.

It's too bad the 'That's not acceptable because... ' didn't work.

This guy needs to be shamed, lessons need to be learned given his parents didn't go well with that.

When I was growing up,going to an in an inner-city school in Toronto, we often used ethnic humour and slang to alleviate tension that might otherwise erupted in violence. Ethnic humour referring to Polocks, n*ggers, Honkys,WOPS,etc often saved the day and all who used this "system" understood its usefulness. In the end, the majority of us got along just fine recognizing that a sense of humour worked better than simply calling someone racist or taking comments personally.

I don't think public shaming is any better than saying "chinky". If somebody uses words you don't like ignore them , it's much better than retaliation imo. Stop being so sensitive, if somebody made an ethnic slur toward me I would laugh and walk away. It's not worth raising my own blood pressure over other people's stupidity.

Unbelievable, your Avatar pic is highly offensive to me and should be removed by a mod. People that use photos like that are all the same and should be labeled as such!
