Is It Racist To Call A Black Gal Precious?

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Is that word outta bounds too?

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

Nah, bro. That's what MustBeStupid calls his old lady.

What did you do now?

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

Nah, bro. That's what MustBeStupid calls his old lady.

I call my lady that too but she's from The Philippines and never even heard of the Burt Reynolds or that darn Precious movie either. Lower case P, playa.

What did you do now?

Uh... nuthin'. Just came back from the DMV and had something on my mind.

i'm neither black nor female so there's a chance i'm not a reliable source here, but i don't consider the word precious out of bounds in any way...:thumbsup:

"Precious" a racist term? God, fuck my ASS! Really? Then again, since "Chicago-style politics" is apparently a racist term, too, maybe the better question is: Are there any words/phrases left in the American lexicon that can't be construed as racist? Is "racist" racist? :dunno:

I hear "precious" and I think of "Silence of the Lambs" anway, so what the fuck do I know? Wait, hold on a sec ... does that mean Jame Gumb was a fucking racist? Mind officially blown.

After Lord of the Rings, that word is just plain creepy. Not racist.

THIS!! The ONLY times it is acceptable for a grown man to use that word is.

1) describing metals...i.e. gold, silver
2) when describing is gun collection to the insurance adjuster after a house fire
3) when on his knees, in tears after he drops his last bottle of booze....PROVIDED, the State store has already closed, or he has no money left.

Why do you start so many shitty threads?
Are you a drunk?

Context is everything. Is she precious? If yes, not racist. If you're just lying, it might be racist but not necessarily.

I hear "precious" I think of Dana Carvey in drag.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Or...if you're doing an impression of the monster from the lord of the rings movie.

otherwise, forget racist, and concern yourself with how gay it is.

 

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

No, he's constantly high

How dare you! Maybe usually but not constantly!:joint:

 

[assari]

I think that it is sexist but I'm not sure.

 

[Elwood70]

So, let me get this straight: "Precious" is a racist word, but only if it's used to refer to a specific type of person, all based on a movie?


Well, isn't that special...
