This thread stinks of racism more than humour.

That video was pretty funny. Very clever idea.

Shame about the execution in this thread.

Intentionally using a derogatory term or just plain ignorance to other cultures?

Perhaps some clarification is in order.

The video is actually quite funny as it is NOT racist in my opinion. However the underhanded slurs need to be shit-canned. I hate Islam too, but I'm not willing to offend a reasonable muslim (like Rayaan for instance) just because the dogma is violent and barbaric. In all honesty, this site actually helped to clarify the difference for me.

Hate the religion if you must ... there are many ways to voice your disdain for all things religious without hating a man for wearing a turban on his head.

It's not a move with which I feel comfortable, though that's not to say I don't appreciate the humour in the video (the cartoon not so much, but meh). For the record I don't 'hate' anybody, though there are one or two actual individuals I've wished dead simply for the trouble they have caused me and mine on a personal level. Beyond that, however, I tend to take people as I find them, which is what I think most people do if asked. I don't confuse the individual with the dogma.

I agree. Hate individuals, not races.
