Why is this not considered racist?

“ya know seeing old threads like this makes you wonder.....


what ever happeened to people like Steve Hiker and New girl?”

“Aaaaaaah, don't mention Steve Hiker and Newgirl in the same discussion.




Better question. What happened to Steve Hiker and Spock?”

“Spock is USA, or so they say.”

“No, I don't think so. Not extreme enough.”

“Can I put "width=" anywhere?”

“The Lord works in mysterious ways, bearmagnet.”

“and so does html”

“Experiment using "HTML test thread." The link gives you some examples. However, they show it in two lines. You don't want a "CR" or "Enter" between those lines, maybe just a space at the end of the first line shown. Probably, you can do it all in one line. Experiment.”

“nigal, you just crack me up. I remember when someone on tv used the word niggardly and I think they had to resign from their job or was overwrought with scrutiny.

Sarge, black people are hard of hearing. Everyone knows that. That's why when you pass their cars on the street, the young guys in them have their cars bouncing from the rebound of the accoustics. Oh, this is too funny. Let's keep it going. I hate to say it, but people who are just up and coming and due to their own ignorance do not try to blend in. And should they then lower music if they enjoy it being played louder than their neighbors can tolerate before calling the police for it being a disturbance? Some people don't know how to assimilate into society where people respect one another.”

“html skeers me.”

“What I don't understand is why there is an advertisement for sleeping bags in a thread about black people? How many black people does anyone know that goes camping and use a sleeping bag?”

“"They" don't use sleeping bags?”

“Nor do they know how to ski.”

“We should make a list.”

“Ok, I pointed out at the start this was a troll. Why do ya'll keep feeding it?”

“tech - We know it's a troll. We're just playing.”

“Interesting comment, coming from a known troll. I still maintain your owner started this row, too. G'bye.”

“why must we all assume everyone new around here is a troll?

maybe this person is honest. it is possible. it's too bad so many around here always assume the worst.

shame on you guys.

welcome margo! ignore these jerks calling you a troll.”

“Shut up troll!”

“And...?”

“japanese have always been racist.”

“I think the Japanese need to go on Letterman and talk about their rage problems. heehee!”

“Or do a Fox TV special entitled "If I were a racist, this is what I would have said".”

“I loved kramers apology "im not a racist. i was just angry"

problem is, buddy, we say alot of things we mean but normally hold back when we're angry

nice try, buddy. your white sheet is in the mail”

“Kramer's Japanese? I thought he was Jewish?”

“Speaking of which, I'm glad he chose the Reverend HymieTown to apologize to.”

“changing direction slightly. try to do a better job of keeping up, bm. at least better than the redskins did the colts”

“I'm sooooo confused!”

““Kramer's Japanese? I thought he was Jewish?”

Negative. Not on the show or in real life.”

“kramer was too comfortable with himself to be jewish”

“My Bad. he's catholic, or almost jewish if you want to consider the "comfortable" angle.

“Um Racisim is the belief that one race is superior to another....the video is not inherently racist...it is bigoted and discriminatory but cannot be considered Racist.

The Orientals have always been very segregationist...try being an Ameriasian in say Korea. But once again....is this a threat to anyone? I mean if A does not want me to enter because of WHO I am or WHAT I am...fine he won't get my money. By the by, how many people on this site have ever TRULY been victims of bigotry or discriminatory activity. Not "ooh he looked at me wrong." But "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN HERE." or 'We don't allow your type in here."

Anyone? Becuase I have been there.”

“awwwwwww. xl's white mans burden”

“I figure many of those restaurants don't have english speaking employees.”

“"Oriental"? Tsk. tsk.

Not speak English in Japan? Hardly. Besides, I've served many customers that don't speak any English.

I've also shared in the White man's Burden. I've been unable to get into a few bars in DC - one all black, one all Dyke. I'm Very pissed off at the dykes over that.”

“OH MY GOD>>>BEAR...you are a Lesbian trapped in a Man's Body too? I feel your pain brother. (LOL)

Crash....You have a good Tgiving dude?

Oh I just sent a bouquet to Former Secty Donna Shalala with your name and address on it (LOL)....your problem not mine (LOL)...”

“In my experience, most Japanese are great - but there are definitely some bigots and racist.

Worst thing I ever saw directly: A Japanese guy with an African friend being rudely treated at a restaurant. He yelled at the staff, "this man is from Kenya he is not a GI, he is not an American black."”

“LOL....At the end of World War II my uncle told a story of how the first Marine Corps Birthday following the war (November 1945 that would be) all the Marines get turkey and dressing. Well there was this one Marine Cook in a base in Japan and he was cleaning these Turkeys for the oven. He looked up and saw these Japanese staring at this huge bird. "Ya wanna know why you lost the war? " He asked the Japanese...."This is an American Chicken."

Yeah well there are bigots in every society in every place in every race. I have seen people in the lowest slums of humanity who put someone else down for a subjective thing...WHOOP TIE DOO.”
