No mi gusto frejoles en mi sapatos.

Translation, " I suck at foreign language." I only learned that so I could get Hispanics to laugh and say "WTF?" It really says, "I don't like beans in my shoes.".

My Japanese X wife would laugh when I tried to speak her language. She was like, "I love you, but don't bother you suck."

Brian37Way to ruin a joke. I wasn't trying to convince anyone I was not a bigot, I was making fun of bigots.

Well, now that you come right out and say it,

 
I understand, you just didn't convey that effectively.

I, on the other hand, live with a walking, talking Mexican (yes, from Mexico) stereotype. Alcoholic, illegal immigrant, filthy living habits, barely speaks English, has to do menial labor to afford the rent, ignorant about basic hygiene and upkeep of his living space, hardcore into Virgin Mary, you name it, he exhibits it. Pisses me off to no end but I can't afford anything else. Nothing redeeming about him. Trump would cream himself if he could make this guy his poster boy for why the wall should be built. But I suffer in silence because he's still a person and had an empty room in the flat that needed filling at a price I could manage at the lowest point I had been at since being a foster youth.

No, you didn't get it that's all, look at the comments, others did.

Some people don't get my poetry either.  You are the one who assumed I was trying to convince everyone I was not a bigot. That is on you, not me.

So my Hispanic neighbor I guess hired a friend to cut down some pine trees in his yard. I am fucking deadly afraid of heights. So it works the same cutting down trees all over the world. He has the spike boots and uses a strap to climb to the top and slowly cut chunk by chunk. 

I've been inside all day so all I noticed was the chainsaw not really seeing what he was doing. So I went outside to walk to the gas station to buy some beer, and finally noticed. I don't speak but a very tiny fraction of Spanish but was able to joke with him basically saying, "better you than me." He laughed. 

I hate heights, you cant get me past the 5th floor balcony. I can go higher in a room if it is simply a window with no balcony. So I finally saw him up in the tree on my way back and said, "Tu ok, mi no".

Not sure if the point is that you're afraid of heights, or that you want to be sure the rest of us know that you don't hate Hispanics.

^^^^^^ This was an assumption.

Your point was so muddled and convoluted it was impossible not to have to take a wild stab in the dark. Try making a point (maybe a more interesting anecdote while you're at it) more clearly if you want to generate productive discussion.

I really don't get it...you start your post off with some unprovoked racism as a joke. Hahaha I'm not a bigot hahaha. And then end up by telling us your neighbor cut down his tree, you're glad it wasn't you because you're afraid of heights and a dash of terrible Spanish.

Wut?

Thanks for reminding us you're still racist.

Bold is mine-
Seems like those are the same thing.

Yea you don't get it, but so? Has humanity become so fucking PC that we cannot joke with each other? The joke was aimed at bigots. It was also telling them to knock it off because we are all human. 

It was provoked by 5 years of 45 perpetuating the "secret Muslim" bullshit. It was provoked by his attacks on Hispanics, like my neighbors whom on both sides of me for 10 years have never given me a lick of trouble. It was provoked by assholes who assume that Malala is like Bin Laden. 

I think you are stuck on the word choice here. But you still don't get to put thoughts in my head that are not there.

I was making fun of bigots, not promoting bigotry.

Remember this the next time you read my welcome to an newbie in the introduction section whom is an atheist when I say, 

" Be sure to barbecue kittens".

If you are an atheist you know you don't but you do get that joke making fun of idiots whom think we are evil because we don't believe. 

Do you barbecue kittens?

(The Mexican in residence will sit here in the corner and enjoy the entertainment)!

I didn't call you a bigot. I simply don't get the purpose of your thread. You basically made a thread that starts with a joke that's not even funny and then told us your neighbor cut down his tree. Ok...probably could have posted that in the what's everyone up to thread but hey you do you.

Also, yes, I actually BBQ kittens on the daily.

I think the purpose is obvious. ALL 7 BILLION OF US ARE THE SAME SPECIES.

Now if your argument is delivery that is a different subject. 

Remember your initial objection the next time a theist friend accepts you but still jokes about your non belief. My mom did that with me all the time.

We'd go to the dollar store, an mind you, she was a Catholic, and every time we'd pass a religious themed product she would jokingly offer to buy it for me. My mom was not Italian so you cannot call her Catholic belief a race. 

FYI Christianity is not solely Hispanic so I don't see how my joke was "racist". Just like pointing out that Sammy Davis Jr was a Jew is racist.

Our deity beliefs are not in our skin color, those are things handed down to humans. It is impossible to leave one's skin tone, but it is perfectly possible to look at what your parents sell you anywhere in the world and say to oneself "I don't buy that any longer."

Race and religion are artificial constructs humans buy and sell, but we are still the same species. Yes RACISM DOES exist, but not because it is scientific. It exists because humans far too often think locally and are tribal. 

If my X wife thought I was a racist when I joked with her "Hey just remember we kicked your ass in WW2" she never would have married me.

It is ok to joke with your fellow humans. Even with edgy humor. It is never ok to think we are a separate species.

Your joke wasn't even about Christianity. And I never said your joke was racist. I couldn't know, I don't get the joke at all. I didn't even know it was a joke until I read further comments.

You're so sensitive. It's not the end of the world if I didn't think your joke was funny and I don't get the purpose of your thread. There's no reason to assume that means I'm up in arms calling you a racist scumbag. I'm not.
