You do realise that "pikey" is also a racist term?
I guess people who are spoon fed on the mainstream media might recognise it as a racist term; I do not but more than that, I don't care. Pikeys are an absolute blight on the land. If you wish to defend them then maybe start a thread about the benefits they bring (there are so few single posts threads it would be a novelty). I guess it's a bit of a conundrum for leftists. I mean, pikeys are white native Britons so ostensibly they're fair game for any disparagement that comes their way. But they are also, according to some, a minority group, and that naturally limits any criticism levelled at them. We're on solid ground criticising 'chavs' or 'white trash' or 'gammon', as they're not a protected species, but when it gets to travellers it's a tricky one, and one probably best tackled by steering clear of the topic unless it's to post the odd, "Ooh, racist!"
And I do take note that whilst you took time to criticise me for alleged racism the clear racism in the post I originally responded to
"Wouldn't that be awesome if... human rights to be removed from gammon"
and the clear call to murder people of differing political views
"Wouldn't that be awesome if... Police brutality and shootings to be visited upon white racist idiots"
somehow escaped your attention.
So sure, you go ahead and point out racism and intolerance where you see fit, but at least attempt to do it honestly.
