>A native american being referred to as a 'Red Rat' would also be unallowed. Just as 'Black Rat' is unacceptable as well as 'Arab Rat.' It becomes a racial slur in that case. Now if someone were to refer to me as a 'Blonde Rat' or 'White Rat' I wouldn't consider it discrimmination or prejudice in anyway. Historically I have only been discrimminated against as a woman, not as a caucasion or a blonde.
With red-rat I was refering to the hair colour, but of course it could be skin colour as well.
What bothers me here is that 'Black rat' is beein regarded as discrimination and 'White rat' is not (even if it is done by a black person ?).
The strange thing here is that you can't call a black a rat but you can call a white a rat. Doesn't that in itself smell like discrimination ???
What is the rational in here ?
