Um, yes it is.  It's a derogatory term for Asians based upon a physical characteristic which they have no control over.  I don't think you can make "slit eye" or "slant eye" not racist in any context.

Quote:In like wise fashion saying that gay marriage is becoming compulsory is not an anti gay statement.

No, it's just a very stupid, false statement which just happens to be made by those who are anti-gay.

Your response is the perfect example of the moronic trigger word intolerance I am talking about.

Let's look at the term racist since you don't seem to understand how it is defined.

    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.

adjective
noun: racist; plural noun: racists; adjective: racist
  1. 1.
    having or showing the belief that a particular race is superior to another.
    "we are investigating complaints about racist abuse at the club"
Simply describing a physical characteristic does not imply racial inferiority which is the key qualifier to discern racism. You are moving the goal posts when you claim that any negative remark concerning race is racism.

You are confusing being rude or impolite with being a racist.

It's the strongest anti asian word you can find in the German language. I guess it's even stronger than the english translation. I wouldn't know of anything more racist to say about asians (in my language) than that, even if I wanted to. And believe me, keeping up with swear words always was one of my hobbies.

Think of the strongest english word used to describe a black person... Hint: kinda sounds like the spanish word for black.. Second hint: according to etymology online it is derived from French nègre, from Spanish negro, words that simply mean black..

Now, hopefully you were able to figure out which word i was refering to. Cool

Point, it sounds like your slit eyes is the german equivalent to the English version of French nègre.

Now as bad as it sounds and has hateful as the word has now come to represent. It is still used as a term of endearment. given the correct context.

The point I am making is a word is defined by contextual usage not societal taboo.

So, let's leave it at calling you a semantic jackoff moron always jumping to the defense of people like that. Brethren in spirit obviously. See, that's rude. And heartfelt on the side.

To draw a distinct semantic line between calling you an idiot or white trash.

So, not only does Drich understand science better than people who have spent their lives studying it, he understands German better than native speakers.

Is anyone still convinced he's not a troll? I mean, how fucking stupid does he have to get before people realize he's just trying to be a dick to get a rise out of people?

And seriously, there is not one place anywhere in the world to my knowledge where anyone is forced to marry someone of the same sex.

there are couple member here you can ask about the prison marriage rules/being forced to marry someone of the same sex Big Grin .

logical and conceptual semantics are not some some triviality. I am using the proper interpretation of a given word to show a lack of basic understanding in the popular usage and execution of said word.

there is a reason for all of this.

I can show a stead decline in objective thought/thinking when words loose their intended or dictionary backed meaning and have been reassigned to trigger emotion (like hate and intolerance) rather than rational thought.

Just look at how you opened this thread.

You used key words to incite an emotional response to get people to revel in the same intolerant thoughts and behaivor you were triggered into feeling when you saw those key hate words being used.

You made no effort to show that actual racism/How the dictionary defines racism, had taken place you just offer a key word and ascribed it to an unpopular leader.

Again know it or not you are perpetuating a society of intense bigotry and hatred for those who do not play by pop morality rules. By doing so you become the intolerant, you become the bigot, you become the social elite that you pretend to hate so much.

If this does not equally offend you, and your knee jerk is to defend the reasons why it is ok to hate the hated, then you are the nazi mob. The only difference is you are not intolerant of physical attributes, but are intolerant of those who hold different philosophies than you do.

which again makes you become who it is you so self righteously hate.

Does this not bother you?

I am not speaking about german nor am I speaking about science. I am speaking about the protocol used to incite anger without proper evidence in the case of this thread.

Again the claim was made that X offical is racist because he used a word to describe the shape of a given race of people's eyes.

To which I explained it is context that could only qualify the description of the shape of an eye would be racist

then moved the OP move the goal posts citing lauguage barrier/lost in translation.

Even then I pointed out the word has no meaning with out context then moved to give and example of the worst word one can use in english to describe another race can also be used as a term of endearment Again rendering the op's arguement meaningless without context.

Finally i pulled all of that to gether in a synopsis again pointing to context from which a word is used is the only thing that makes a comment truly racist.

I am not arguing the german here i am pointing out there are no 'evil' words. that you only think that because you have been trained to stop thinking, train not to challenge these key 'evil' words and to default to the same hate you are pretending to stand against.

I'm truly sorry your not... Smart enough to see anything besides mindless trolling, but again that's because you have been trained to turn off your cognitive thinking process when ever someone challenges one of your core/foundational beliefs and make that person the automatic bad guy.

That is the message I have been addressing in these last few threads these pasts weeks.

That you guys go into angry mob mode when ever someone utters an evil word, or does not measure up to your insane level of disdain for said word or principle.

When one is trained to think in key words as you all have been you give up cognitive reasoning for a selfish right to exhibit the anger and intolerance you have otherwise been barred from showing.

You really think that someone who calls someone else "slant eyes" doesn't think they're better than that person?

I call my sister slant eye all the time. I call my wife round eye, my wife calls me slant eye too (she probably does think she is better than me when she says it though/caught her lurking the other day reading my posts)

Again the word means nothing with out context.

Just like the n-word. A whitie can say it out of pure hate and it cause a riot, but put the same word in the mouth of a black man in the proper context and it becomes a word of endearment.

Words should hold no power in of themselves. we should be looking to context and not key words or pharses for validation of our thoughts.
