After seeing the last episode (Tivo), all I can think is "Brokeback Hiro." Not that that's a bad think - those two Japs make a cute couple! Travel in time when future Hiro is alive and you've got yourself a three-some!
watch the racial slurs.
Oh, come on - I obviously meant it in a tongue and cheek manner. Hiro's my favorite character in the show and my cat is named after a Miyazaki heroine (Kiki). I aint racist, I love Japs and I love chinks too!
P.S. The chinks thing was a Conan/Sarah Silverman reference from a TV-PG rated episode.
I know it was tongue in cheek. But i'm sick and tired of racial slurs being non-PC for every ****** ethnicity but asians. Go call a black man the n-word (see? its not even PC to say it in reference) and then tell him 'oh gimme a break it was tongue in cheek'. After he beats your ass, society will say 'he was justified, you were oppressing him.'
Asians are so non-militant that people feel they can walk all over us. Remember the "two wongs make it white" shirts put out by abercrombie? Granted that was a funny shirt and i would have bought it myself if i could find one...but the point is that the only reason that even hit the store shelves was because people think they can walk all over asians. That never would have happened to blacks or latinos because they stand up for themselves and because there would have been a ****** uproar. I'm tired of the attitude of "oh dont mind the silly yellow slant eyes, they wont mind us laughing at them."
Case in point: If i say the n-word, i'll get a vacation instantly. But the mods probably wont even take a second glance at the jap thing.
Wow you are really out there. Jap is more accepted now because it's more of an abbreviation of their Country (although it's really Nippon to them). My wife is japanese from japan, she has only been here for 5 years or so. She is over 30 like me. It doesn't phase her so much as it does for those that never lived in japan.
Anyway if the asians aren't going to stand up like the latinos and 'blacks', are you their avatar? I think it's about a culture not wanting to portray themselves as a victim.
It's more accepted says WHO? You? Oh, i'm sorry you have a japanese wife. That makes you the foremost authority on asian studies and our culture. That would be why i'm "really out there." My apologies. I like you, you can f*ck my sister.
Perhaps you should start throwing around all the other racial slurs while you're at it. After all, you wouldn't want to discriminate. Go ahead, i'm sure the jewish, blacks, latinos, and middle easterners would love to hear you tell us that all those slurs are "more accepted now." Please, don't let me hold you back.
Most authorities on asian studies still consider the term "jap" very derogatory. Just because YOU think it's ok doesnt mean that's so. I would hate to think what you might call black people "because you think its more accepted now."
It doesnt phase your wife just like N**ger doesnt phase africans as much as it does african americans. WTF is your point? Your arguments have more holes than swiss cheese.
The timid, shy, and reserved nature of asians makes others think they can walk all over us and i'm sick and tired of it. It has nothing to do with being a victim. I have no desire to be their avatar. I just want them to f*cking grow a pair and stand up for themselves.
