The point is that the people that were "Butt Hurt" were mad because they thought Okami had basically said that Americans tap easily. You say that comment is the same thing as making fun of somones name.
No, its not
I have a last name that people liked to mess with when I was in school....none of it was racist, maybe insensitive, but so what?
If anyone is such a fucking pansy that they let someone...especially someone they dont know, hurt their pathetic little felings by making fun of their name, they deserve to be miserable. And you will be miserable if you go through life getting all worked up over something as petty as that.
My whole point is that there is no comparison between questioning the heart of a nation and making fun of someones name.
I do agree that people should not have been upset with Okami even if he had said what they thought he did. Who the hell is he, lets ask Anderson Silva what he thinks about Okami's heart.

I don't find making fun of Hong's name upsetting in the least, but I do find it in poor taste and I do think less of people for doing it.
Everyone got made fun of about their name when they were kids, but when it comes to making fun of someone's ethnicity then it is a different situation.
edit: this thread should probably be moved to the politics and religion section at this point... it was a stupid fucking thread to begin with.
