@shavixmir saidWhy would not liking another race be grounds for banning? I REALLY dont get that. Let's say a Japanese person killed my uncle at Pearl Harbor, so, I don't like the Japanese people. Diff race, of course.
You are the perfect example why people have become sensitive to the issue.
You are a racist scumbag and should be banned from this forum.
Do you thus say that I should be banned, as a racist, which I would be?
@averagejoe1 saidYou should be banned for moronity, not exactly racism.

But you surely see that blaming the Japanese people (all of them) for something a small group of people did 75 years ago is pathetic.
And as soon as you use a description for that group of people, you move into racist grounds.
@averagejoe1 saidI’m impressed with you and your partners adventurous relationship.
I may dress up as an Indian, a Cherokee. Would it make a diff if I am a brave, or if I am a chief? What are the parameters? Next week, I will dress up as someone else that I am not, maybe an Eskimo, an Inuit. Or an Aborigine. Or a Scot, replete with a kilt. Like Shav, I don't get it.
Do you have a special night to commemorate the ‘little big horn’

@soothfast saidNot enough votes but consistent nonetheless.
Even 10 years ago there wasn't the hysteria surrounding blackface that there is now. Context is everything, I suppose, but generally I'd say it is unjust to apply today's "standards" to an event that occurred when "standards" were different.
And I contend that it is still okay for a gringo to dress as a mariachi band member.
The PC Police accomplish nothing constructive aside from funneling votes to Republicans.
I imagine I will wait for voter I.D. and strict voting practices before I waste anymore time watching the exciting world of elections. I'm sure nobody will care but I have wasted quite a bit of time on the elections of a country I have nothing to do with.
Maybe I'll switch over to watching the ridiculousness of the Dutch and how they are taking 3000 farms to save the world 🙄
