I'm assuming, like a large part of the Russian expatriate community, you weren't tough enough to survive in a new society, so you cme to MY country to earn a living; well, learn your place, asshole; show some respect for your betters. Listen close, you'll be hearing this a LOT "Gregory, cleanup in asile 5, and get the carts out of the parking lot"!!

Oh, I missed this. What does expatriate mean? Are you refering to that communist take over in Russia? Woulden't he be too young for the joke to be semi-realistic?

actually www.unixsucks.com noticed it before i did.
[edit - got there first! i was replying to pantso's post there! ]
however i am fairly sure that creedon is not a racist, however everybody is prone to making the odd non PC remark, however you know we must remember that everything we type here on the forums is more or less set in stone! so it is easy to come off as saying something you didn't actually mean.
The russian one is a little sticky since historically many USA people have been racist against the russians and since so many USA people populate the internet it has become a "thing".
I said that not even bothering to check if creedon is from the US, and i must say, creedon, no offence intended to you, i know you are not a racist (i think!) however i hate those prejudiced bastards too...

Calumn, don't confuse racism toward Russian people with being against the old communist Russian government. I don't believe race had much to do with anything there (I was in the USAF during the cold war stationed in Germany when the wall came down). I don't remember any of my buddies making racist Russian remarks nor had anything against the Russian people. Now sure the term "commie" floated around. Correct me if I am wrong but that is not a racist remark. It is a remark against a governmental persuasion.
And I knew many people of Russian and Polish decent and they were treated no differently than people of any other decent. In fact MOST Americans are decendants from Europe and other countries (most of my family came from Germany, Prussia, and a few others around 100 years ago, not that long). In fact it isn't much different than using the term "Nazi". I use that term often but I am not referring to Germans when I use it, hell I am 3/4 German. I am referring to the practices not the race.
The worst racism in America is probably toward African American people and Mexican people to a lesser extent. Now it isn't nearly as bad as it once was and I have hope that it will be a non-issue in the near future. Of course it is unlikely that racism can be wiped out completely.

Now, now, now, so we are good at computers but not at english hey
Well an expatriate is somebody who has left there country/homeland to take residence elsewhere (a foreign country to them).
In England we often abbreviate expatriate to Ex-pat.

for fucks sake pantso, shove your bleeding heart up your ass
the remark was not racist, and he FUCKING APOLOGIZED ANYWAY
the ironic "i hate racists" remark could be considered offensive to racists in a pc environment
and allow me to reiterate... pantso, piss off you cunt--dig the sand out of your clit and find something important to get your panties in a bunch over
i dont tolerate racism, but i read the thread to which i am posting first, and the droning further ostrecization and hazing of a person for an ACCIDENTAL slip-up just made you look like an ass!
now talk to us about the scurge of bill gates, the social inequities world wide, or ACTUAL racism, and maybe i wont go off on you
