yeah, j/v/c otm. imo, what this stuff (fucking ENDLESS mexican menial "jokes" on family guy and elsewhere, for ex) exposes is that lots of people think racist shit is okay as long as it doesn't have anything to do with black people.

I'm 28. I have a full time job leading urban kids (of all races) on nature hikes. I simply write down shit they say.

I...don't see anything racist in that local news Lin vid?
Are we talking about, "What about his eyes?" as a racial remark? I think that's just the main anchor razzing the sports lady for talking about his "great build." "What about his eyes? Dreamy, right?"
Am I missing something or is that how people are interpreting it?

Twitter response to @ghettohikes from a white girl:
Haley Stewart @HayStew
Stuck in traffic with mom and the sister. So I entertained them by reading about every @GhettoHikes tweet ever in my best ghetto voice.
Hmm.

it's already been covered how lamebook (also a good source for 'edgy humor' involving race) and ghetto hikes are run by the same dude, right? (well, ghetto hikes is at least registered to one of the dudes who runs lamebook.)

Obviously I know the history of "slanty eyes" as a stereotype. I honestly think the way that anchor used it had nothing to do with that and was in the sense of "Did you get lost in his eyes?" after the other reporter acts like she's crushing out on Lin.

don't think that's exactly the same thing, but i won't deny there's history. i read the whole thing more as "awkward" than racist. ymmv.

so guys, questions to ask yourselves:
1. jeremy lin is 6'3. as far as athletes in the NBA go, is 6'3" remarkable? worth commenting about?
2. when you talk about a basketball player, are their eyes something you normally talk about? do you talk about michael jordan's eyes?
― flagp∞st (dayo), Thursday, 23 February 2012 00:17 (twelve years ago) link
"nice arms - long arms, that's what you need in a point guard" <--- definitely sounds like she has fallen head over heels in love with jeremy lin!!
― flagp∞st (dayo), Thursday, 23 February 2012 00:19 (twelve years ago) link
god, I feel so stupid for even needing to spell it out.
― flagp∞st (dayo), Thursday, 23 February 2012 00:21 (twelve years ago) link
that should be "nice build" not "nice arms," btw.
hey dayo--what if youre the real racist?
― max, Thursday, 23 February 2012 00:24 (twelve years ago) link

chris paul is 6, steve nash 6-1, rubio 6-4, rondo is 6-1, so lin is about on the high average for point

steve nash is 6'3 btw

well known in philly that allen iverson lied about his height
― Mordy, Thursday, 23 February 2012 00:38 (twelve years ago) link
pretty much everyone does. dwight howard is 6'9"
― ploppawheelie V (k3vin k.), Thursday, 23 February 2012 00:41 (twelve years ago) link
oops got nash wrong but either way lin's height is p much normalish for his position
i haven't even seen him play cuz the stupids at FSN didn't broadcast the wolves/knicks game but someone on espn was saying he was more of a combo 1/2 guard than a pure point but i don't know if that's true, he seems to be getting good assist numbers

we had a big debate on the NBA thread about this actually
i've seen kemba in person many times, he's probably 5'11" or 6'

so either the news clip is "haha what about his slanty eyes" or "haha stupid woman can't talk about sports like a man" pick yr poison

to take it back a few posts i think the ghetto hikes thing is vv interesting b/c those dudes are internet businessmen hiding behind innocuousness, "lol yeah this is just a tumblr of some stuff i overhear." kind of the face of (the often-strawmanned) notion of noxious white privilege. and of course the one dude is actually a teacher, if i read the article right, and i wonder where this shit comes from. fake? real but framed as "lolling at the others who are different from what i perceive to be the norm?"
