rolling "Is This Racist?" thread

Five hours of slow genital paper cuts just seems like a terrible time no matter how you slice it

really enjoying this new Cock E.S.P. box set,

Five Hours of Slow Genital Paper Cuts

I have no idea why that's a quote and not italics.

not new but

is the state name "indiana" racist? according to wikipedia it basically just means "place with lots of indians"

Saw this logo the other day

yes. yes that is racist.

bill o'reilly is not people, you know

I think talking about a racial demographic and how they do/are something or not because it's "their nature" is racist by definition. Perhaps O'Reilly was talking about Asian cultures in general, but that's still not some homogeneous thing you can call conservative or liberal and also, I'm pretty sure he was just being racist.

yes, racist. p.s. fuck that guy

Don't get why Jon Stewart plays nice with that guy, and other atrocious people like Huckabee.

b/c he's on television and his livelihood depends on those people and people like them being willing to come on his show

as he hastens to point out literally every time some interviewer tries to get him to admit he plays a serious role in the political-media landscape, he's an entertainer

I like Stewart as much as the next guy but I don't expect him to viciously upbraid his guests about their spittle-flecked racism or w/e while they're trying to push their book

I mean he's no Neil de Grasse Tyson.

viceroy what if you replaced "their nature" with "their culture" because in fairness to bill i think maybe that's what he means?

not sure if that's still racist or not.

no, it's still racist. asians (or any race, immigrant or not, for that matter) are not a monolithic, "good", hard-working people. it may seem odd to complain about a "positive" stereotype, but the whole deal is just another way for conservatives to put down minorities who don't fit these square peg definitions. i've heard it a million times. note how this shit goes hand in hand with lazy blacks/hispanics, sneaky Chinamen, etc (i.e. "why can't they just be one of the good ones" - the kind that don't make trouble)

this case is particularly blatant, he's not even trying to hide his confusing of how the "good Asians" are voting liberal, how perplexing

bill o'reilly knows zero about hawaii and what he says about "asian" nature/culture/whatever in that clip has nothing in it beyond the "they built the railroads and study hard at math" level so

The Asian culture

WAIT I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONE OF THE MINORITIES THAT DOESN'T WANT STUFF

hmm Bill O'Reilly still exists in 2013? inturrsting

... not sure that race that is, some kind of alien one?

Ah, he's dressed up as one of the Three Kings. Even he seems unsure about it all.

BONUS FACT: Guy is some sort of soccer player for "Manchester United," whatever that is.

is it racist to mock the long-held christmas traditinos of the dutch

not to mention O'Reilly's claim that PSY was "some fat little guy from Ying Yang" or whatever

I think he said Pyongyang, which is definitely the wrong country, but I'm going to card you for this "ying yang" thing

wait'll you see my (gangnam style)

ahma beat that pyongyang up
like DAYUM

tis still a bit racist methinks

also I thought the point of Flag Post was that you didn't have to tell everyone you find something distasteful

frog post

TBH, and I cant believe Im in frogs corner here, some of the transcripts i saw of what Billo said did have him saying "yong yang" (not ying yang), or debate thats what he said.

Could be!

oh hey when did that other MH start writing for Spin, too? huh.

also mh the word "pyongyang" starts with a "p" which O'reilly doesn't pronounce so gtfo with that bullshit

Don't get why Jon Stewart plays nice with that guy, and other atrocious people like Huckabee.

I like it when I see white ppl at asian supermarkets, I'm always so intrigued like what exactly are you gonna buy

One thing I know for sure is that the Mexican markets seem to be the only ones that know when an avocado is actually ripe

on the whole I encourage white ppl to shop at asian supermarkets tho, its fun there are lots of cool snacks and ingredients and things to buy

'Ethnic' is such a daft word in this context. Crime section aside though, I'd let it slide.

Omg dayo so true. Lechera took me to an Asian market she frequents and I got lots of stuff. For one thing I KILLED that bag of seaweed crackers on the train.

yes seaweed crackers, also scallion crackers http://i.imgur.com/XUzWz.jpg

MOARE SEAWEED

I love Asian supermarkets but I've got to admit that I go in with a certain air of "whoa look at all this weird shit I don't understand, what the heck even is this" which, ok, is kind of racist, since we are on the looking for things to be racist thread

but also I come home with delicious foodstuffs often for cheap

i love shopping at the russian market. they've got some sweet fish stuffs there.
