Shannon - the term "gook" is used as an all-encompassing derogatory term for Eastern Asians, whether they be Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, etc. It's in the same category of language as "wetback" and "nigger".

And that's why it's racist!

[Chob]

So going by Shannon logic, can we call the people responsible for locking up those scientists wops?

Yep! You are correct, sir!

It's cool to use a term that insults an entire race because a select few of them were at one time considered "enemies" of the U.S. Shannon logic at it's finest.

nobody has a problem with Pollock what's the difference ?

Everyone enjoys racially insensitive humor at times, but Shannon is just being daft if he claims he doesn't know why it's considered offensive. Let's be real here.

Speaking of racism... my dad is a total racist. He called me today concerning the Presidential election. I'll quote him:

Dad: "Son, this election is important for the survival of our country and our way of life. I'm not a racist man, but it's about damn time white people started voting for white candidates."

Me: "Dad, that's the very definition of racism - making decisions based upon a person's race."

I laughed so hard when I hung up. There's a reason I don't talk to him; he's an idiot.

Because it's funnier. Beats me though. Certain terms are more accepted than others for whatever reason.

Brutal.

Brutal.

He deserves it. This was the first time I've spoken to him in a year. I plan on keeping it that way.
