Re: Pretty cool....
Yeah, I suppose it could couldn't it? You know what? I nearly said it myself, the thing I was going to warn against...
I'm getting sick to the back teeth of people automatically associating the Union Jack and the St' George cross with right-wing politics. Don't you think it's time to bring them back?
And, where did the connections to mod culture come from in the first place? The only things I can think of are the pop-art stuff from the 60's (targets etc worn by the Who) and the Union Jack quite heavily championed by the Jam.
Not having a go at anyone here, just a couple of observations and questions

Re: Pretty cool....
I think it had something to do with the fact that mods loved American music and French and Italian style, that it was a kind of subconscious thing to compensate. They are also pretty striking images too, and thats no bad thing. Its wrong that yer thought to be racist or right-wing fer wearing/using something that is fundamental to your own identity. Although I think that True Brit could be misconstrued quite easily...
I dont think its a racist thing to be proud of your heritage. A converse point to clarify. We have the MOBO's, the Music of Black Origin awards, what would happen if there was a Music of White Origin awards? Please dont think I'm racist, because I'm certainly not. I'm just making a point that people shouldn't feel guilty about certain things.

Re: Pretty cool....
I had a conversation yesterday with a teacher who told a young lad off for saying a girl in his class looked like a Pakki cos she had a Bindhi like acne spot.
My point of the argument was this....Why is it so awful to say Pakki, when it's quite acceptable to say Brit, Aussie(especially that one), Yank, Scot, Kiwi, Frog? (ok, maybe that's an exception!) There's loads more.
WHY?
It makes me think that the problem is with them.

Re: Pretty cool....
Good point. But I think it's generally accepted now that 'pakki' is only used as a kind of insulting desription isn't it? Whereas pakistani is perfectly fine, as it is just decribing someone from Pakistan.
But I know what you mean about looking at it from the other side of the coin..

Re: Pretty cool....
My problem with it is that most people call anyone of a brown complexion a Paki when there are people from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Somalia etc which are thousands of miles away. How would you like it if I called you a German? or a Spaniard? or a Pole? or a Turk? or a Greek?(unless of course you were!)I see it as a display of ignorance of the user rather than an insult.
