Talk:Newfoundlander

As a Newfoundlander/Newfie/Newf, the information on this page is correct. I didn't have the chance to read what was here before regarding the equivalent of the word "nigger" - which is a definitely too extreme a comparison - but there could be a case made for its misuse particularly for people in my father's generation (before Confederation). I have also personally experienced this word used in a negative way. (smullett)

The page "Newfoundlanders" should redirect here-instead if you type in "Newfoundlanders" it takes you to the "Newfie" page. I tried to fix it but I'm still new to the technical stuff on here-can anyone help out and do it?

Is this page really even needed? O_o

I don't know who keeps putting in that garbage about "Newfie" being the equivalent of "nigger". It is NOT! Also, I actually took out most of what was originally written here, because most of it was opinion bull****. -- Melange fiesta 07:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, i know lots of newfoundlanders who call THEMSELVES newfies. There is too much newfie crap in this article anyway. It should be extended, and should include information about newfoundland culture, and their unique accents.--Dallin Tanjo22 17:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
