    I'll date anyone I'm attracted to. That includes white, black, orange, yellow, or blue. Although I'm not usually attracted to ladies who could beat me up, which does narrow out some of the black girls around here and quite a few of the ladies from south of the border. If you think that's a joke, you should see my school. :worried: :sigh:

    Although I appreciate this was your attempt at wittiness, being a mixed race person myself I don't really appreciate it.

    YOU BASTID!

    *has flashbacks to GCSE english*

    nu-tech - to try and explain...those are the opening two lines from a poem written by a man of mixed race (jamaican/english)

    the poem concerns how the man has been treated due to him being of mixed race

    it continues:

    Excuse me
    standing on one leg
    i'm half-cast
    a pun on being seen as not fully 'cast' (correct to the 'mould') with respect to others

    :)

    i think i still have my fully-annotated anthology thing somewhere...

    Half-Caste


    Excuse me
    standing on one leg
    I'm half-caste
    Explain yuself
    wha yu mean
    when yu say half-caste
    yu mean when picasso
    mix red an green
    is a half-caste canvas/
    explain yuself
    wha yu mean
    when yu say half-caste
    yu mean when light an shadow
    mix in de sky
    is a half-caste weather/
    well in dat case
    england weather
    nearly always half-caste
    in fact some o dem cloud
    half-caste till dem overcast
    so spiteful dem dont want de sun pass
    ah rass/
    explain yuself
    wha yu mean
    when yu say half-caste
    yu mean tchaikovsky
    sit dowm at dah piano
    an mix a black key
    wid a white key
    is a half-caste symphony/
    Explain yuself
    wha yu mean
    Ah listening to yu wid de keen
    half of mih ear
    Ah lookin at yu wid de keen
    half of mih eye
    and when I'm introduced to yu
    I'm sure you'll
    understand
    why I offer yu half-a-hand
    an when I sleep at night
    I close half-a-eye
    consequently when I dream
    I dream half-a-dream
    an when moon begin to glow
    I half-caste human being
    cast half-a-shadow
    but yu must come back tomorrow
    wid de whole of yu eye
    an de whole of yu ear
    an de whole of yu mind
    an I will tell yu
    de other half
    of my story

    -John Agard



    This poem is dear to my heart mainly because of my English teacher’s hilariously inept attempt at a Jamaican accent.


    And yes my English teacher was a Stone-Age Hippy :hip:

    my year 9 english teacher turned up to 2 lessons in the year - was stoned for both of them

    GCSE teacher was absolutely beautiful...she went to teach in switzerland after our year took GCSEs

    she was baout 5'4", slim, toned with long dark brown hair and kinda looked a little like a pretty version of konnie huq from blue peter (?)

    she kissed me in a pub about 2 weeks after GCSEs :D

    If there's one thing I've learned in life (and I'll be honest... it's probably the only thing I've learned in life) it's that if you try to please everybody, you'll only end up pleasing nobody. So what if you don't like white girls? I'm white, and I don't give a ****. Do what makes you (and your gf) happy.

    edited by the language filter obeying eddie_dane... let's try to be a little more subtle than that please :nono: :D
