I think the "racist" thing that theVOID was pertaining to was the implication by Minimalist that all Korean's eat dog, or that some link has to be made between Koreans buying a chicken company and dog meat.

"racism. Noun: The belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."

In this case, the belief that all Koreans eat dog meat and want to transform perfectly ordinary chicken businesses into dog processing businesses...

I don't see any other reason why Minimalist would mention dogs in a thread about Koreans buying chicken companies...

Maybe the Harim Holdings Co. also sells dog meat in Asia? That would also be legit as that is part of their business.

To be frank, a lot of people eat dogs though.

Even if they did, there is no reason to mention it in a post about a Korean company buying a chicken company. Last I checked, chickens and dogs were completely different animals. Unless we want to delve into guilt by association, there is no reason to bring up dog meat unless you want to make a snide and potentially racist remark about some Korean company.

Where does your definition of racism come from?
I'll offer up my Chambers dictionary definition:-

" hatred, rivalry or bad feeling between races; belief in the inherent superiority of some races over others, usually with the implication of a right to be dominant; discriminatory treatment based on such belief "

Is this a joke post or just ignorance and racist? The Korean war was not the war in Vietnam and America got its arse kicked there.

A South Korean meat and poultry business this week won an auction to buy Allen Family Foods Inc., a chicken integrator in Delaware that filed for bankruptcy liquidation earlier this year (Feedstuffs, June 20).

Harim Holdings Co. Ltd., through its newly established Harim USA Ltd., outbid cross-state producer Mountaire Farms of Delaware, which walked away from bidding Monday after a bankruptcy court trustee said its $30 million offer was too low.

It hasn't yet been announced week what Harim USA offered, but the trustee had stated that he valued Allen at $53 million. *Feedstuffs Full Article*

Things must be bad in the capital of capitalism!
Hope for those who will work for chickenshit though.

My definition came from Google.

Indeed. And how would a Korean owning something be a bad thing in the first place?

South Korea's national sport is starcraft. I sure can't find anything bad to say about that

Quote:Dog may be a staple ingredient in various Asian cuisines, but that wasn't enough to silence South Korean animal rights activists, whose repeated protests lead to the cancellation of a Seongnam festival focused on promoting canine meat's consumption.

As the AFP is reporting, the festival -- planned to “showcase canine food products, including barbecued dog, sausages and steamed paws”

Yep...pure fiction!

Oh, so Dogs are off limits but not Pigs, Cows, Chickens, Sheep, Ducks, Fish, Sharks and the like? Sure, because the animals we are happy eating, that's some objective moral standard for eating meat or something! Not like those minority of people from that other culture who don't feel the same way about Dogs as you, they're evil! Right? No, and your looking at them like criminals for eating Dog meat is bad enough, similar to a Hindu looking at us westerners with disgust for eating their beloved Cow, but the fact you find something YOU dislike that is present in a TINY SUBSET of the Korean population and then use that to attack THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.

And, what was the whole point of that story? That public outcry by KOREANS got the show cancelled, showing that enough people there don't like it to give the event venues the reason to refuse to host the event, meaning they could not find a location. As the protesters themselves said; "This is making our country an international laughing stock, and making the whole world mistakenly believe that all South Koreans eat dogs,". You completely missed the fucking point of their protest, to protect their reputation from assholes like you who would bitch about Koreans buying a meat plant "because they eat Dogs". Well done Min, you Jackass!

I chuckled at the dogs bit, offensive, sure, funny, yeah cmon, a little bit.

Do you by chance know how Google arrives at its definition? Just curious.

Well, a prospective employee might care. He/she would be interested in terms and conditions of employment, for example and whether the business will recognise a trade union. He/she might also want to look at the ethics of the business and how much profit is made and if it is shared with employees in any meaningful way.

Oh, the prospective employees might care? Sure, they might, then again they're probably more happy about having jobs. You want to stop the Koreans buying the business that is currently in liquidation and creating jobs? Fine, you go tell the unemployed meat workers that they have to stay on benefits, I'm sure they'll love some busy body like you sticking your nose into what is none of your business.
