OLBERMANN AND GARAFOLO: Playing the Racist Game

I feel sorry for you if you can’t tell the difference. Let me explain it to you: Black people are called monkeys because of the color of their skin and their physical features — the very definition of racism. Bush was called a monkey because he wasn’t very smart, which has nothing to do with his skin color or race.

If anything, Bush was a victim of ‘intellectualism,’ not racism.

White people, imho, need to grow a thicker skin. You can’t please everyone. And just because someone throws the “R” card out there doesn’t make you a racist. I feel really really bad for white people sometimes. It seems like white people have dance around with being politically correct, while black people can call themselves with the N word and asians can call themselves with the C word…and “minorities” can make make all the redneck bumpkin jokes they want without an issue.

We’re so far away from equality it’s not even funny.[/quote]
What’s the C word? I do feel sorry for the white people. I guess that’s one advantage of being a minority. If you get called a racist, you can throw that right back at them, haha.[/quote]

You don’t call never use the terms chinks, chinky, chinkiness? Sigh…

Examples:

1. Chinky: looks/feels very asianist (not in a positive way).

Example: “Damn, that house looks so chinky…” (plastic vinyl covers, redwood furniture, the works.)

2. Chink (n): an asian that acts/dresses/looks like an FOB.

Example: “Damn, why do you got to act like such a stuck up taiwanese chink”?

3. Chinkiness: Doing things/acting in a chink kind of way.

Example: “Dude, your chinkiness is really shows in your shopping habits”

4. Chinky:

Example: “Man, either you got into a fight with a lawnmower or your barber gave you a really bad chinky haircut”

I forgot one…FOB (Fresh off the boat)
It’s pronounced “f – ah – b” (not f.o.b.).

Previously, this was a derogatory term used to refer to asians that looked/acted like the nerdy bookworms.

In modern times, it’s a derogatory term used by asian americans to refer to the typical rich-bit-stuck-up asian immigrant kids that zooms around in mercedes benzes that daddy and mommy bought for them.

No, I can’t tell. Because I wasn’t one of those “white people” that use to hurl insults as black people and references to monkeys…

And the explanation of the chia pet is…?

Which brings me to my next question. Why do we keep dwelling on things that happened decades ago? Slavery, equal rights. Yeah, I know america did something pretty bad in the past. Aren’t most of the folks from that generation already dead if not sipping their meal through a straw by now?

I don’t know. Somehow, I think calling a white person a redneck is pretty racist…Minorities aren’t exactly the model citizens for not being racists.

It’s not exactly like african americans and asians in the past have really respected each other for example.. There’s so many pre-conceived notions there on both side of the fence.

flu, I didn’t know you were referring to “chink/chinkiness/etc”. Now that’s a lot clearer. I never took offense if someone call me that, even if they’re white, but I guess I’m not easily offended. Regarding the monkey reference, I agree with you on that one too.
