Are you offended by the huddle

you'll see

Being racist is not mutually exclusive to white people. Some of the most xenophobic people in the world are the Japanese.

What do I think? Perhaps the things we say might not be considered racist, bigoted, or offensive by us but to someone else it might. Maybe when it's brought to our attention instead of becoming defensive, small minded, and outright curmudgeons we should listen and see where other people are coming from and see if what we say could be construed in another way....and learn from that.

I think that the majority of people on here mean no harm when we have these kinds discussions. They still say some crazy poo and should be called out...not to start a fight/argument but to inform. (And by majority I mean the people who don't deal with day to day racism in their lives)

Kumbayah Mother fugers!

I like licking the white cream off of the dark part.

T W S S.....

FWIW, and I know this does not matter to my E Friends, I am not white and do not get offended.

Life is too short to base your self esteem on what you see/read on a MB.

Unless it's bewbies........

edit: what happened to the tags?

I am just tired of the ,"JR is too racist for a black QB/face of the franchise" argument. Not that this thread will end that. It would be nice though.

[Hawk]

said it before and I'll say it again even though it's been sort of said already by others in this thread...

I don't know the majority of you people and have no idea what race, religion, size, etc etc etc you are. To me, you are black text on white background!

Read Panthro's post a couple before this...we could all learn a little lesson from that...and yes, that was painful to admit.

PS....stop fuging with the dutch.. I love dutch people

What would be nice is if we could change "pie" to "oreos". I mean, if I got oreos for my posts, I would be much happier than getting pie. Either way, it is a win-win. Both are delicious. But, to quote Obomba, "IT'S TIME FOR CHAAAANGE!" </lying>

i agree. panthro said something smart.

[teeray]

You mean when Panthro stereotyped all Japanese people as xenophobs?? :lol:

[lightsout]

You mean when Panthro stereotyped all Japanese people as xenophobs?? I work with several and NONE fit that description.

Well, I'm sure by "all" he meant "a lot" which I am sure he has found to be true based off of personal experience.

Do you work in Japan?

There is a difference between xenophobic and racism.

In 2005, a United Nations special rapporteur on racism and xenophobia expressed concerns about "deep and profound" racism in Japan and insufficient government recognition of the problem

Perhaps instead of becoming defensive, small minded, and an outright curmudgeon you should listen and see where he's coming from and see if what you said could be construed in another way....and learn from that.

Just a suggestion...

I think that's one of the signs for the Apocalypse.....
