Oh man, you all missed it. Your loss. They had this half-Asian, half-Canadian dude on there wearing a baseball cap tilted backwards and rotated 3/4 of the way to the rear. Now it's just an American Express logo. I'll keep an eye on the site and let you know if it comes back.
Your a fool

I knew it was you as soon as I saw it. At least you're acting at least half Canadian now. Trade in the cap for one of those round ricepickers and you'll be on the right path.

Whose premise is it -- yours or mine -- that certain races ought to act certain ways?

I think it was society that decided that the use of racial slurs like ricepicker was inappropriate.

I'm still confused as to why this picture is regarded as being racist? Will some one please high light the subtlety for me.

what's the problem with that picture? Lots of people look like that. If Lakota can use a Native Indian as their spokesperson to sell pain cream, why can't an airline use a guy with a hat on sideways??

EDIT: that was meant for the phlababit
Yeah, I don't get it either. Have people with zero fashion sense formed a race now? And if so, why is Phlab defending it?

so, what would you call the guy in this picture?

http://www.itss.brockport.edu/~pbar1227/gallery/week2/week2-Pages/Image16.html

and what does he wear on his head? is he portraying a racial stereotype, or is he just wearing a traditional hat and planting some rice?

He was describing a hat, not a person!

What, do you think "cotton gin" is just another term for a black slave?

Are you stupid? How about you approach a table in a restaurant and ask a black gentleman "Why didn't you get the fried chicken"?

It doesn't make a difference if he's talking about a hat, he's stereotyping a race and that's not my brand of fun.
