rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

It's definitely one of those moments that didn't seem so bad at the time, but now in 2011 is making me go "wait a goddam minute."

Man, OTM. How did I never pick up on that?!

It's especially awful considering how like, 12 months earlier, MJ's label had to essentially threaten to pull their entire catalog unless MTV played a black artist. Bad look, Dave.

yeah, well...

name instances in which the "it's okay to make racist jokes if we just go after everybody equally" tactic has been pulled off successfully.

South Park?

Good grief, man.

I remember all the zany skits with the old people walking funny and the guy going "Fuggidaboutit, Dave!", but that's something else.

I mean not sure I'd consider that one 100% successful, but that seems to have been thier frequent defense over the years.

WHOA NO, THE CUTTLEFISH IS ABOUT TO COME OUT OF MY ASSHOOOOO

is there a rolling "is this racist?" thread NSFW edition

or can we generally assume that a vast majority of interracial porn is racist and save me the trouble of posting links

Cream of Wheat dude seemed pretty chill.

cream of wheat dude is not a porn thing.

oh? Let me just pull that clip up here at work and see what happens.

wait don't do that

once, when i was very high, i wandered into a supermarket and asked if aunt jemima and uncle ben were married, and whose aunt and uncle they were, anyway. it was an armenian supermarket, and nobody knew.

Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure that Healthy Choice's "Asian-styled" dinners are called that only because they include rice.

Meh, they're 'Asian inspired'. All their food is 'inspired' by real food and then blandized.

Frozen chicken in a tub with rice: Orange Asian Inspired!

Pro tip: California, Cambodia and Vietnamese rice crops of spring/summer 2011 are extremely high in yield and even higher in quality. If you're into jasmine, stock up.

Frozen chicken in a tub w/pasta: Tuscan!

remy I thought california grew cal rose primarily?

It does, D. I meant that all rice was very available and good, and especially jasmine (because I like it). Prices are pretty wild, though –– a 50 lb. now costs something like $12- 15 dollars more a bag, on average, than a year ago. And with a good crop!?

inflation, man

been looking for broken rice, but not sure where to look

just drop some regular rice on the floor

I mean, to try that in this day and age, you really have to hand it to them

if they were really accurate they would charge asians $2.50

def A for effort there

i mean you'd have to imagine that the college republicans at berkley have really had to hone their trolling skills

I'm just imagining david spade in PCU

isnt this something that college republicans do every year?

hopefully I wld like some cheap cupcakes

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2001779438_bakesale31m.html

Are those prices based on some "data" email forwards or something, or are they a just a reflection of the hierarchy of races in the mind of the college republican?

isnt this something that college republicans do every year?

yeah I dunno why this particular attempt is getting press, think it's just cause it got the right web press

er press press press

i mean you'd have to imagine that the college republicans at berkley have really had to hone their trolling skills

being a republican in berkeley already makes you a troll, you don't really have to do anything

the UCLA chick who made that video about asians in the library needs to step her game up

I kind of wonder to what degree these people understand their own opinions. It sound like a terrible thing to say, but they never seem to understand the consequences etc. of such a view.

Interesting comments on the Melb Age article on this event.

Normally, you see Aussies defending crappy racist "jokes" and whatever esp in newspaper comments, but curiously in this one most people are angry about it, and one lone voice of (embarrasingly nasty) dissent is a white woman claiming to be from NYC.

No wonder the United States has lost it's hegemony in advanced education. They've been dumbing down the Universities and school system for the best part of 50 years now - as we have in Australia. The whole system has been devalued with this political correctness idea that no-one should get an "F" and thus we have the situation where 16 year-old are learning the maths I'd mastered in 3rd Grade.

I should have made it clearer there are one or two aus dickheads on there too (lol "Reg")

What does this have to do with racism?

Haha oh right it's a comment from the article, I thought it looked weird

you have lost you'r hegemony in comprehension
