Messiah 0 Posted August 20, 2009 Anyone remember an asian comedy programme called "Goodness gracious me!" ????One could say it''s racism. I think not though. I think it''s called humour.CLICK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arthur Whittle 0 Posted August 20, 2009 I notice there are a number of jokes at the chinese expense. Im not complaining but what I will say is in the past ive made off the cuff remarks about chinese such as "im having a chinky tonight", "gooks" and "slope eyes" and I get called a racist. Funny how the same people who call me racist are the same ones making these racist jokes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Houston Canary 0 Posted August 20, 2009 [quote user="avenging canary"]Bring back Jim Davidson, all is forgiven!! This isn''t cultural comment, harmless fun or ''life''. It is nothing short of small minded, ignorant racism. If joining in such shameful banter is to develop a sense of humour, I''ll do without.[/quote]You''ve done without a sense of humor this long, why change now?

Houston Canary 0 Posted August 20, 2009 There are only 3 or 4 races on Earth. Chinese is not a race. It is not even A single culture or A single language. If the comments were about zipperheads or sneaky yellow devils, then that would be RACist. They are about various aspects of various Chinese cultures or steroetypes associated with the Chinese specifically (not the Viet Namese, or Japanese or Thais). Downloads, if you were to be fired for making light hearted banter, you would win a wrongful dismissal case easily, and your company would be shamed for being so reactionary. We make jokes about ourselves all the time and nobody cries racism or anti- anything then. Why not? Because we all know it is just some harmless jokes. When we make them about someone else, the rules do not change. Or do they? They shouldn''t, and I''m not going to pretend they do just because you want to. And you admit you get threads like this removed? So you''re the wuss. We have been wondering. Thanks for the heads-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
