Shadow-Moses 03/31/18 1:30:03 AM #4:	I think it became offensive when the British started to refer to poor Indian labourers in Africa with that term along with "towel head", because they used to wrap a towel or cloth on the head while working under the sun. Later they began using it for people with any sort of headgear from the Middle East/South Asia. --- Currently Playing: The Evil Within 2 (PS4) <cite>Shadow-Moses posted [p:898802917] in Why is &qu...

dreamvoid 03/31/18 1:32:59 AM #8:	you might as well ask why any slur is offensive. it's because it's used as an insult towards a group and people as whole decided it was offensive. --- http://imgur.com/2Qfzt9X.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qlXpj2E.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rPe48jC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5xltd3r.jpg <cite>dreamvoid posted [p:898803017] in Why is &qu...

Is "rich white man" also offensive? depends on the context. unlike the slur you posted, rich white man by itself isn't offensive. you could replace white with any other race and it also wouldn't be offensive. --- http://imgur.com/2Qfzt9X.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qlXpj2E.jpg https://i.imgur.com/rPe48jC.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5xltd3r.jpg <cite>dreamvoid posted [p:898803153] in Why is &qu...

Gamer99z 03/31/18 1:37:52 AM #14:	Because context and usage matter. The phrase has been used by many as a slur with negative connotations towards a culture or race. That's kinda how slurs and offensive things start...
