"Mahai" is a common vulgar phrase used amongst close friends.
Assuming "haak yan" that TS heard means "black guy", I see nothing wrong. It's not a derogatory term. In some Cantonese-speaking areas in Malaysia, even the word "k*ling yan" is used to describe Indians. Again, nothing derogatory in this term because it has been in use since a long time ago. But due to the politically correct environment, many modern youngsters now use "yandou yan" (literally, Indian person).
I have Indians and Sikhs who know Cantonese and we trade friendly barbs "sei haak guai" (literally, "bloody black ghost"), "chibai tongsan guai", etc, but we're not butthurt or anything.

QUOTE(battu @ Jul 16 2013, 02:40 PM) how come k*ling yan is not derogatory when the work itself have to be cencored? black guy are also derogatory since u describe them purely by skin colour. if it not derogatory because of ppl oredi use it a long time ago, then can it be apply if people say cina b*bi and say "wei, i used it a long time ago la to describe ur ppl. wat, wrong aa??' we know that word is sensitive to them, doest matter u used is since long time ago. the important thing is that word is harsh to them, not ok to u. among ur friend we dun care la, even i speak lanjiau to my chinese friend, but this is between a customer and seller. need to have respect to customer, hence the complaint by ts.even got ppl blame ts for being over sensitive. the andy guy even apologive, meaning that he acknowledge his worker are insulting ts, yet u ppl still saying 'well, u heard wrong.' dun be selective racist.  You have a point there. I concede. |
