Is it acceptable for a bloke to have a white Iphone?

Post by Bad Blue 2000 »

My old phone is knackered so my sister has given me her old Iphone 4. It's a decent enough phone but it's white.
Is that allowable or do I need to get the casing changed to black?

I would imagine there is a serious issue here regarding racism as you've got something white on your hands. I'd be looking at the possibility of an Iphone being some indication of white supremacy if I were you as it is a market leading device.

I have a similar problem I'm wresting with at the moment regarding painting a garage door. I would like to do it in black because it would naturally fit as well as not show up any dirt in the way a white door would. But blackboards were deemed racist many years ago because they were black. If fear if I paint this garage door black just like a blackboard would be , it might be offensive to people of certain ethnic backgrounds.

From what I can understand, all black people, or as they are now called 'people of colour' , which in no way is like calling them 'coloured people' which was definitely offensive , are totally behind the non use of black as a colour.

I think you should ditch your racist phone and go for a race-neutral colour like silver. There are no silver people about other than David Bowie back in the 70's and members of the group KISS.

I have a white phone, and some of my best friends are black. And gay.

Claiming you have black friends is no longer an acceptable excuse for your engrained institutional racism. :box:

Of course it fucking isn't acceptable.

Take a long hard look at yourself, Dearie.

I haven't really got black friends. Or a white phone.

Joke's on you, cap'n. :dart:

I'm afraid you're in a head I win , tales you lose argument here Endo old friend, similar to me having 3 queens , a knight and a Bishop against your pawn. :D

If you've got a black phone you're guilty of appropriation and therefore still a racist. I'm also afraid any further attempts at reason also prove you're a racist. Reason is a white construct.

As I say you need a silver phone over there in Russia where any other colour could cause offence. :lol:

That's a very good point.

It's still a relatively neat layout for a post with malfunctioning quotes. None of that /quote] bollocks, so i'll leave it to stand :wink:

I take that back. I have edited your sneaky little bit at the end, The End.

Later I will edit further and make it look like you've misread the quotes and deny everything.

I have tried to point this out in my avatar over the last 8 years.
