If you are that determined to say it's not racist, then you're not looking at evidence, you're just trying to support racism if it comes from someone you agree with on some salient political point. Towel head is a racial slur, trying to weasel around that is pretty much the same thing as saying "nigger isn't a racial slur because black people say it too each other".
Perhaps we need another thread to discuss this topic.
Some people argue and make very valid and reasonable points, that using the "N" is not a racial slur because African Americans use it themselves. I disagree and argue the that context is a factor.
For example, you typed the word...you must be a racist. Saying that would be improper because it fails to consider the context of your use of the suspect language.
Towelhead is a slur. It may or may not be a racial. It is perfectly reasonable for soldiers and citizens of countries at war to try and dehumanize their opponants by inventing a derrogatory term for them. Most people in this world are good people who would not under normal circumstances set out to inflict pain or death on another (either individually or on a massive scale). I suspect this allows such persons a means of dealing with the trauma of killing another human being under the worst possible conditions.
Towelhead is a slur, but is it directed at all Arabs or a specific subgroup? I believe in this case that context becomes the key. The nature of the slur is not its effect on the target, but rather the intention of the user.
Therefore if such a term was to be used by AU, and we've not seen evidence it was, what then was the context? Was he making a point? Was he talking about all Arabs? Was he being humorous or hateful? Etc.
I note for the record that I just made a reasonable contribution to the discussion without resulting to calling anyone a name or using any fracking profanity.
'Sigh'(Wanders off alone on the high road.)

Actually the quotes are elsewhere, I never said the statements I made proved anything. You sure seem quick to jump to the paedophile thing, as as we know some of your greatest heros in the US government had a penchant for young boys, guess we now know why they're your greatest hero's huh...
What I said is that Sig has already proven that you're a racist, and he has, and in order to try and deflect attention from that, you erroneously accuse me of being a paedophile. I'd say pathetic, but the word really doesn't cover what you and your latest temper tantrum amount too.
In fact since I have government security clearance, and since I was a member of a household with a child minder, which means I had to be police checked by law, the fact that I would never do such a thing is a matter of record. The fact you would never do such a thing we only have your word for, and your word has been proven time and again to be less than worthless. In short, I am more trust worthy than most parents, and much more trust worthy than you could ever hope to be.
I suggest you rethink that, you sad jumped up racist little twerp.

He's demonstrated a legitimate fear of Islamic Terrorists. I don't know that such a fear amounts to racism.
If he said something along the lines of "all the fracking towelheads are terrorists" then I might agree. But I don't recall him saying that.
I note for the record that the use of a derogatory term to describe a select group of people can be, but is NOT always racist.
The "N" word is racist. "ChiCom" is not racist. "Cracker" is racist. "Jap" is not racist. "Boy" can be racist depending on the context. "Toaster" is racist (but who cares...fracking Toasters don't have real feelings).

He has demonstrated an illegitimate fear of ALL Muslims. "Islam IS extremism" is a bigoted statement against ALL Muslims, not just Islamic terrorists. Referring to a group of people as "camel jockeys" and "towel-heads" is offensive to anyone of Middle Eastern descent.
How is "Jap" not racist? Because Japanese isn't a race, but a nationality? So then "Chink" wouldn't be offensive either? Really?

Weren't you the one who wanted to be trapped in the elevator with 20 14-to-17-year-old girls? And you're calling Cit a pedophile?

Even if it wasn't a racial slur (which frankly it is) it's the same thing, and so saying "it's not racist" would be merely an attempt to defend bigotry with equivocation and hope no one notices. It's like defending someone who's stabbed someone else to death by saying "he didn't shoot him, honestly, he didn't"

By that reasoning saying "all black people who live in New York are thieving niggers" wouldn't be racist, when clearly it is.

"Camel jockey" is not offensive, its a respected occupation:

The term may also describe Cylons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_jockey
"Towel-head", you may be right, although the similar term rag-head seems more negative. Still, context is important.

Its descriptive, not derrogatory. Japs, Yankees, Jerry, Joe, Husky, Gringo, Cheese-eating Surrender Monkey...nothing offensive. Just descriptive.
