How do you know it was purchased by white Britishers?

How about the fact that multiple white Britishers ON THIS THREAD have said they would like to purchase the item?

[i]Depending on where you are, you can still easily find lawn jockeys (hi dere non-metropolitan US).

most repainted to be white[i]

this should be a powerful metaphor for something, but i'm not sure what.

xpost to jaymc: Multiple white Britishers would have liked to have been the first man on the moon, doesn't mean they were.

― unfished business, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

How do you know they weren't?

― nickalicious, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

i think there is a point that the imagery that this is compared to is american imagery, and many of these things are compared to US history that isnt necessarily taught in other countries, ie many people may be unaware of such things. the gollywogs make this argument more difficult, though i think many young people are now unaware that gollywogs ever existed, seeing as how british cultural memory is about 15 minutes long

i was talking to a south african guy the other day, he didnt know the US had had a civil war.

"worked through issues" is probably better wording than "come on enough".

Although I do bathe in warm Manchester United jism every second Tuesday.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

if it was made in Brazil, where Ronaldinho is universally regarded as God, there would have been no question whatsoever of it being a celebration of his gifts. OH ARGH BUT YOU GUYS JUST DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND SOCCER so we're back to square one* again.

hi there you fake ivy league shitbag, i was the best goalie in my league.

what the hell are you not getting that the intent of the makers of the item isn't the issue here?

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

if i was drinking good vodka, i prolly wouldn't have been puking popcorn

OK YOU GOT ME THERE LOUIS. WTF.

In all seriousness...

A sippy cup is a cup with a lid intended for toddlers who are old enough to hold their own drink but not coordinated enough to not spill it.

― nickalicious, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

That is not a sippy cup, btw.

― nickalicious, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

a bottle-opener has to be shaped a certain way for it to function as a bottle-opener.

nickalicious is confusing me.

Thanks for the clarification, nickalicious! I was confused!

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:38 (nineteen years ago)

i take offense to the implication that all repairmen are lacking genitalia.

― gff, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

blood fucking diamonds ghost rider, blood fucking diamonds.

I know it's not the issue to you, Ally, but others have in the course of this discussion made it the issue. I understand the issue you are getting at, yes, I do, but it's not the one I'm having to argue against. My argument is that the bottle-opener thread, an innocent thread, was ruined by over-reacting individuals, whose over-reaction I felt it necessary to check. Then the personal shit started flying, then the accusations of 'implicit racism' arose, then I was fighting a losing battle for my dignity when I should have just walked away. Thanks, ILX.

'fake ivy league shitbag' = the sort of personal abuse that keeps me coming back for more, baby

― unfished business, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

Dude, no matter how hard you try you can't be as creepy as Kenan.

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:40 (nineteen years ago)

see dude the thing is you must first have dignity in order to lose it

― pretzel walrus, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:40 (nineteen years ago)

was fighting a losing battle for my dignity

you had dignity? what, for like dinner or something?

CAMBRIDGEPSEUDOARTFAG YOU BITCH

― unfished business, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

you could make the argument that britain is more racist because it hasnt worked through issues and is still insensitive to them, you could make thte argument it is less racist because it has forgotten about them

a fairly big deal was made in the UK of Big Ron's n-bomb, the remarks made about Henry, the black Barca players threatening to leave the field following monkey chants, the recent treatment of Jason Scotland, etc. I think Britain still has a shit load to work through and I don't think as a nation we're insensitive to racist imagery. I just feel that in this case the connection to what is mainly American imagery isn't clear cut and easy to make for some of us - particularly those of us who enjoy footballers being ridiculed as a cultural staple. That may make us ignorant, but not wilfully so.

― onimo, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think that's a very good bottle opener.

― HI DERE, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

My Argument, a Poem by Louis Jagger

I know it's not the issue to you
Ally
But others
In the course of this discussion
Made it the issue.

I understand the issue you are getting at
Yes, I do
But it's not the one I'm having to argue against.

My argument is that the bottle-opener thread
An innocent thread
Was ruined by over-reacting individuals
Whose over-reaction I felt it necessary to check.

Then the personal shit started flying
Then the accusations of 'implicit racism' arose
Then I was fighting a losing battle for my dignity

When I should have just walked away.

P.S. 'fake ivy league shitbag' = the sort of personal abuse that keeps me coming back for more, baby
Thanks, ILX.

― Mr. Que, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

Actually I don't think the intention of the manufacturer is 100% relevant here. Lots of people make racist comments who would be horrified to be thought of as racist. Mostly because they lack the basic sensitivity to see the racism there in the first place. Did you guys learn nothing from the whole Jade Goody/Shilpa Shetty thing?

― Matt DC, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

WHO GIVES A SHIT, ONE COLLEGE-AGED PRETEND BISEXUAL IS THE SAME AS ANOTHER, YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE GOING TO PRINCETON FOR ALL I WOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE

― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

You are the new T. S. Eliot, Mr. Que.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

haha I meant the picture Matt linked to is not a suppy cup.

― nickalicious, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

you prefer the Kaka one too?

― 600, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

ok, Mr. Que's versification of my rant actually had me lolling just now. you win this round!

― unfished business, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

Mr. Que, I kiss you.

― G00blar, Thursday, 22 March 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

Okay I have to applaud the Princeton slam. KUDOS
