sexual_chocolate Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 There was quite an outcry about Harry Pi being an insensitive racist caricature, yet I haven't heard any outcry over the antics of Milosh what's-his-name. What gives? Curious as to your thoughts on this. Quote
Distel32 Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 (edited) I could be totally wrong here but maybe there aren't any people of russian heritage on the site. Also obviously there probably are people who are racist against russians, but it's never been in the public spotlight like it has for other people. I'm white but do take offense to all racist stuff, but hadn't about milosh, and I think it's an excellent point you bring up! edit:yeah yeah, fukcing spelling like erik Edited March 20, 2003 by Distel32 Quote

Lay off of everybody's favorite hardest climbing Russian avatar! You're just jealous your Pi avatar isn't nearly as entertaining Quote
Dru Posted March 20, 2003 Posted March 20, 2003 i am not one to complain but I nonethless find a phrase in this post by Fejas to be more "racist" than anything concerning Harry Pi or Milyoshka: furr trader carpet muncher bull dike shlong dongin' it trollin' for anius lopein' the mule chokin' the chicken dickin' the dog screwin' the pooch jewin' the salesman I'm in the import, export buisness cleanin' the pipes if I wanted any lip out of you I would have jiggled my zipper if I wanted to get yeld at I would have stayed at home whos got the lighter? No, no, no... No really I insist, fuck you! maybe your angst is better directed elsewhere like where there is something actual to get upset about legitimately? Quote

The majority of people prefer to be around, or associate with, those of similar color and background. That's the way it is. Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted March 22, 2003 Author Posted March 22, 2003 Dru, you seem a bit sensivitive about my rather innocuous question about the differences; your Canadian upbringing giving you some guilt w/r/t your avatar? Greg, I never even thought of it in the terms you presented, and I'm honestly having a hard time understanding exactly what you mean. My thinking is more along the lines that Chinese people have suffered much more from racism than have Russians. I think most of the ones offended by the Harry Pi caricature are simply sensitive to this fact, something that seems so incomprehensible to those who find humor in the characteristics that have been used to portray the Chinese in a negative light. I don't think Russians have ever been subjected to this. Quote
catbirdseat Posted March 22, 2003 Posted March 22, 2003 Harry Pi is okay. He is struggling with some personal problems, but I think he's got a good sense of humor. Who knows, perhaps Harry and Milosh are one and the same? Quote
Dru Posted March 22, 2003 Posted March 22, 2003 (edited) why aren't you giving Fejas shit about the phrase "jewin' a salesman" SC???? Edited March 22, 2003 by Dru Quote
sexual_chocolate Posted March 22, 2003 Author Posted March 22, 2003 Perhaps because I didn't see it? Quote
Harry_Pi Posted March 23, 2003 Posted March 23, 2003 Hello capitalist! I hold no racist or bigotted views toward ethnicity, gender or sexual preference. As a matter of fact, some of my best friends are black, gay, lesbian, jew, indian, mentally or physically handicapped, asian, russian, arab, white. Thank you for allowing me to post. Quote

COL._Von_Spanker Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 How is any of this any different that stuff you see on say, SNL? or the simpsons? Just make fun of everyone equally. Quote
