Keith, I enjoy a good joke as much as anyone...I just don't find ignorance funny... Look, not trying to lecture here...but at least be accurate towards the target being stereotyped. A similar mistake led to a sikh gas station owner being murdered post 9/11 on the assumption that he was of islamic origin. Sad to see more people still don't know any different.... But, like I said, I laugh and cut up as much as the next fellow....
ell as a Persian you would think I would be more offended. Its sometimes better to see the brighter side and not think that people are a racist. Many people here make jokes that could offend others but in reality we know that if push came to shove its not the case. For you to address the matter makes people become so sterile. I am not by any means condoning racial profiling but I think you get my point.
where does that leave me if AntonyR is persian and i'm Lebanese and he's doing flight training lessons,looks like i'm getting the chicks tonight....lol
Well put Antony. I tend to think that racism as a JOKE is very funny (see Carlos Mencia's stand-up, he mocks *everyone* including the 'whities'. Dave Chapelle too.) because let's face it, some of the **** has some truth to it. We're all different, and sometimes the differences can be funny as hell.
ROFL I'd love to play a video game like that. GTA Afghaniraqastan. Too bad it'd never fly in PC-crazy USA.
My training is going well...and no Mo you will not be getting the ladies...going to Bella now for dinner with 3 girls....maybe some night when i sick
I don't recall making any generalisations or stereotypes, neither am I interested in debating cultural differences: We are all One People. My post related to the fact that Easterners MUST have jokes about Westerners--and I would love to hear them. Please don't be so sensitive--it only adds to the problem you seem intent on perpetrating. Have you any humor regarding Western values? Or just anger/frustration?
yep, no generalizations or stereotypes there.... I'm not angry or frustrated towards westerners...just ignorant people in general... "We are all ONE people" LMAO....
Whao...why all the hate? Darth is the most politically correct, culturally sensitive, not to mention polite, person I know.
