So Asian can't enjoy yellow? Why are you feeling offended on behalf of Asian people? Do they need your insight as a <insert your race> to know when to be offended? This is my criticism of white soccer moms. Always offended for everyone else.
Then there is the classification of white of Caucasian people. I like 83% Irish. But Asian people think we all just white. Now who is the racist? Me or them asianese lookin' people?
I do want to this yellow commercial now. LOL! -
@Demolishun I don't fully understand your comment, but to clarify: calling an Asian person "yellow" is a pretty clearly racist thing in America, not sure where else, even though calling black people "black" isn't really racist, calling Asians "yellow" certainly is.
Interestingly, as far as I can tell, the only reason behind that discrepancy is because black people accepted the term to describe themselves, but Asian people rejected it. -
@AlgoRythm I know. I also know Asian people complain when Caucasians say Asian instead of specific location of origin for Asian people. Then in the same breath call Caucasian people white people. Which is hilarious. If the concepts were equal Caucasians should be referred to as place of origin. Such as Irish vs Japanese.
The other stuff was me complaining about Caucasians being offended for people we don't even know. They say kinds of things like black people are not able to use a computer. Or can't figure out how to get a drivers license. Which in my opinion is highly racist. Its primarily the white soccer moms that do this shit. -
@Demolishun Shit, you’re more Irish than me! I’m half Irish half German. And a tiny bit English on my Irish side. (Some estranged princess like 10 generations back)
-
@Root It checks with my parents background. I did the gene thing and it was mostly Irish, some German, and misc northern European. I had one grandmother that was German. Both grandfathers were Irish. I am assuming my other grandmother was Irish. Both my parents last names are Irish descent. So who knows what the real mix is. I am just going by the DNA thing.
-
@Demolishun I didn’t trust those, and with good reason seeing as they got bought out.
-
@Root yeah, who knows wtf they do with that info.
-
@Root also, last time someone asked me my ethnicity at work I put down "native american". They can't question it. I was born here. Can't be much more native than that. So some database has this info from 20 years ago.
-
@Demolishun That’s awesome. I usually put down Irish because “White” gets you discriminated against nowadays. Maybe I should start saying Native American. I was born here, and damn close to the reservations, too.
-
how about you get rid of your racist preconceptions and start doing the only thing relevant with the concept of "race" - which is to just ignore it?
i could see your point if there was only an asian person and absolutely _nothing_ yellow. but there was a lot of yellow, as you described, and a person which happened to be [random ethnicity]. -
@tosensei it's impressive how your fake edgy centrism always lead you to shit on people and side with the oppressor. That's what i hate with metalheads idiots. Not only do they have nothing to say, but they're usually closet reactionaries.
Weak pussies. -
@Demolishun aren't you afraid they send you to a reserve?
Or just straight up kill you, already happened -
@Root maybe "colonist" would be accurate :D
-
@antigermgerm "centrism"... dude. i'd tell you you're 100% wrong, as usual, with everything you say, but by now even YOU ought to have gotten that message.
plus: i only shit on people that already actually are shit. like you. -
@retoor dutch people aren't white, sweetie.
White people are civilized ethnicities, like french or british. Germanix are like slavs. White skin, not white brain. -
@antigermgerm
"White people are civilized ethnicities, like french or british."
Mouth breathers and people who can't pronounce an S? People who pay for public television and eat horses? People with the worst food and people with a fetish for guillotines? People with genetically deformed royals and people who elected Macron?
Surely you jest.
Just got WHIPLASH from seeing a racist ad in my local gym.
Racist is a bit dramatic, but at the VERY least, it's tone-deaf as fuck and from MY perspective (Where I missed the first 10 seconds of the ad) it was definitely racist feeling. Even with the context, I think it's pretty strange.
Anyways, this grocery chain is running this advertisement campaign about their yellow tags. I guess yellow tags in their store are supposed to be good! So they depict a bunch of yellow things and put text on screen saying that "yellow is (positive attribute etc etc)"
You might already see where this is going?
Basically, they had one scene with bold yellow text "YELLOW IS HAPPY" and the background of yellow tulips. Again, I joined the chat while the ad was already going so I barely had time to read all the text before the scene changed.
The next scene that they chose to depict yellow things?
Oh, just a child in yellow overalls holding a yellow ice pop. Oh, and the child was Asian...
SERIOUSLY how tone deaf could you POSSIBLY BE. DON'T PUT ASAINS IN YOUR COMMERCIAL ALL ABOUT YELLOW THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!
It was especially jarring since I lacked almost all context. I thought it was some shitty comedy sketch for a moment.
