    See, now ive tried to talk about cultural differences today but now youre assuming that certain posters are currently in the ghetto. Now youre overtepping. From what it sounds anybody from the "ghetto" would fit right in the seedy parts of England with all your "blue collar" cussing. People in the ghetto work too or did you think they all sold drugs?

    The worst I heard was an Aussie/New Zealand cricket match. Apparently one of the Kiwi's had recently lost his sister in a train crash and all he could was aussies making 'choo-choo' noises. Kinda puts a few swear words into perspective.

    :lol: Did I mention ANYTHING of drug use. I have a friend who grew up in a ghetto neighorhood, and that did not make him a drug dealer. Just make him ghetto.

    Just beccuae one cusses when they talk doesn't make all equal who cuss when they talk. Just the same if someone white boy or yuppie tried talking in street slang wouldn't make then street. Context, and what's said are the keys.

    And my apologies for my offhand remark.

    chris cairns was the new zealand player. i can't quite remember where this allegation came from (it wasn't cairns) the australian players have always vigorously denied this ever happened.

    Thanx for apology. I would never of let that go otherwise. Just bcuz im black doesnt mean i grew up in the ghetto. My parents had to struggle so i could grow in a interacial environment with white and black kids that wasnt the nicest side of town but damn sure wasnt the ghetto. I have a decent job and i try to pay my bills but i still get stereotyped.

    I wasn't talking about you personally BTW. But I agree, being sterotyped sucks. Even for Eskimo's in Alaska. Growing up in Bush Alaska isn't exactly the Ritz either. Most people are poor (ish) or live in homes that most people would probably think were crap.

    People need to grow a pair. Swearing is common in Britain.
