Why is Congo racist?  Its a region in Africa, and substantial numbers of Guyanese trace their origins to this area.

 

What is interesting is why "Congo" becomes a racist epithet in the eyes of the PPP.  If I called them "Bihar" is that racist?

Caribny, if you do not understand why use of "Congo" in yugee's context is racist, then i suggest u take a refresher course on the subject

 

i'll give a tutorial later

I'm surprised Caribny did not pick up on that one. If he were Surinames and he was called Juka he would see no insult in that. If he were in the South and was called a guabba he would not feel insulted. If he walked into a rural village in Guyana and they called him a capar he would not feel insulted. He has to show his intelligence about Congo the geographical and anthropological concept, but misses its raw racial reference in the lexicon of Guyanese Indians. Why, oh why, does Caribny feel that a sophomoric battle of wits is morte important than the truth?!
