Violence is as American as apple pie and baseball, no question about that.

It is, isn't it? But I pretty much had it with people hiding behind not using that word if their every post oozes the desire to degrade people of color. So better call a spade a spade. I for one find it worse when someone wants to give themselves the air of being fair and balanced while doing the tap dance when being called out and asked why they singled out a particular country to make a moot point.

So, I rub it into their faces. Because that's what they'd like to say and what they feel, in every post they make on minorities. In fact, they actually say it. Maybe not using the word, which would be the honest approach, but in their choice of topics. Such as the - admittedly horrible - domestic, which probably wouldn't have made it into a thread if the perp hadn't been Nigerian. Otherwise we would be encouraged to discuss every domestic, and there are quite a lot. Horrible and less horrible. But if they are committed by red blooded and white colored males, they're not usually newsworthy for these fair and balanced persons.

Believe me: I get what you're saying. I just have a hard time getting past it when I see it just... sitting there.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

So, you don't call Asians "minorities", then? If I prefer Asians/Indians and Jews over blacks/whites and muslims, I have that right.

Apple pie is not American it is English, and baseball, just like NFL are simply variations of English sports.

Mind you, I still remember Spike Lee who complained about the Oscars. I don't he even mentioned once specifically about the lack of Asian people in American films or on TV. That is where the problem lies. Apart from "Do the right thing", which was a very good film, he hasn't done anything else of note apart from totally massacre "Old Boy." For information:

Old Boy Korean version:

Cost $3,000,000 to make.
Recup: $15,000,000

That is a 400% increase with regards to the budget.

Now let us take the Spike Lee version:

Old Boy Spike Lee:

Budget: $30,000,000
Recup: $4,900,000

That is -86%.

If Spike Lee wants his oscar, he needs to improve on his skills, do something original instead of copying on others.

You have every right in the world. Just don't expect other people to respect you for that. And thanks for pointing out the minority you actually like. It's less obvious, you know, since big bad blackie makes up for so large an amount of your post count.

Just as I haven't said anything positive about blacks, you have not done so either for the Asian minorities. Any reason? You have avoided many questions with regards to the Asians who have succeeded by deflecting. So, tell me your opinion on Asians and how they have been good wherever they have gone. I mean, it is no coincidence that they have been successful all over the world and yes, success breeds hate and jealousy. Believe me, if someone wants to work hard, then I applaud them for making against all odds and that includes Barack Obama. At least he fucking worked hard.

I have this feeling that you, including many others are racist towards Asians and Indians, I mean, you don't support them, you don't sing their praises, and yet they make up a large amount of my post count. Are you racist towards Asians abaris? I think you are. Go on, I know you want to come out with some names, you are itching.
