@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. -
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. -
@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. -
@Demolishun what's wrong with guillotine?
If anything as an american you would admire the will for a humane death sentence device. You guys can't even electrocute a guy without him shitting his pants and setting his eyeballs aflame. Your executions are like a texan barbecue
At least it's clean. Nobody ever came back to tell but one does say it feels like a slight breathe on the neck. -
@Demolishun but I've given it a good thought (just went to pee) and the best way to end a guy without suffering would be dicing.
With a good dicing machine (some sort of grid of blade like the one they use for bread), you could dice a guy into 2cm cubic dices in less then 100ms (that's about an inch on an inch on an inch, an inch exposant 3 I guess) -
@retoor I knew this was the washing machine before even opening the link :D
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.
