Sorry guys... but if you were Asian, and someone, who you don't know, who is not joking about you in a friendly way, said something like.. "Whatever you say, Jackie Chan"... you'd be offended
Or if you were black, and complaining about something, and someone said, "Alright, calm down Malcolm X".. you'd SHIT A BRICK.
There is funny jokes and there are stupid comments...
It was a stupid comment.
There are some pretty funny jokes out there, that have put me to tears... and I don't expect to ever hear it come out of the mouth of a owner of a major corporation
Yea Dana's joke is pretty fucked up! That is one of the reasons why Fedor didn't sign...b/c Dana called Fedor and his companions the bunch of "Crazy Russians" some People here say's that you are sensitive if you act a joke like this...well they should also realize not all people are disame, you should be carefull sometimes if you open you're Mouth towards other people.
I got negged for stating my opinion on this which is BS... so thought i would share it since the person who negged me didn't have the gonadians to state his lame disagreement on the thread.... ENJOY!
Dana's Remarks On Choi... 02-04-2008 01:03 PM lovebuzzkurt rampage isnt the president of the company
Oh so Dana White can't make a joke about long duck dong because he is the president of the company, but Rampage can make racial jokes even though he is the LHW Champ??? Sounds like a lame double standard.... Personall i like rampagem and laugh at his racist comments, and laughed like hell when dana called that dude Long Duck Dong.....hahahahah
Neg me all you want... I still think is funny, and to hell with all this politically correct BS going on in here!!!
You seriously got Neg'd for your post???? BRUTAL!!!!!
What in the fuck is wrong with people today......has political correctness gotten to everybody already?? Bullshit........Feel free to PM me and we can make arrangements, so I can send all who were offended by the comments 25 cents, so they can buy a fricken sense of humour.
Seriously people, the world needs to lighten up a bit, don't ya think??

Well it is not overboard I am half Asian and I know that many (not all) of my Asian friends and my Ex Girlfriend would be very offended if someone called them Long Duck Dong....I myself wouldn't I don't even look it. Like I said before I think racist Humor is funny, one of my favorite movies is Blazing Saddles however I just don't think someone in a position such as Dana's should be saying Racist yes Racist statements especially in public... Do you think what Dog the Bounty hunter did was as you say Overboard??
Agreed!
I am half Asian like you mate, If Dana had made a similar insensitive racial comment in regards to an african-american...the MMA NEWS message boards would explode and i bet he would getting fired/sued/reprimanded like what happen to Imus.
Because of his remarks about the foreign fighters, Dana is ruining the image of MMA Sport...i don't know if he realize that.
I have no dislike for any particular group of people for any particular reason but in all honesty, some of the funniest things I've heard in my life were pretty damn racist. I found Danas comment to be mildly humorous but not LOL funny. I can understand how the comment would offend some people but IMHO some people just get offended too easily.
Oh yeah and getting neg'd for your opinion is pretty lame but to be expected.
I don't know if everyone is dancing around the point of the joke "Long Duck Dong" or if no one actually understands the joke. The reason why the name "Long Duck Dong" is racist, apart from the portrayal of the character in the movie, is because because the name is a pun on Pacific-Asian names AND references a dirty body part. That's the joke- it's a bit funny. Get it? His "dong", "duck-like", is "long"? Kind of like a calling a Chinese guy "Wang Hung Low." Get it, because he's well-endowed.
Now, I can call my African-American friend "Tyrone" or "Kobe" because we're friends. I can't call an African-American person whom I don't know "Tyrone." I don't really have an example for white people because (and this is part of the point now), there aren't any "effective" offensive names to call them. How many of you would have gotten offended if Dana couldn't remember Semmy Schlit's name, and instead called him "Leroy" or "Cooter"?
And is "Tyrone" or "Cooter" offensive on the level of "Long Duck Dong" or "Wang Hung Low?" No, because Tyrone and Cooter don't imply a penis, haha.
So, if you still don't see how "Long Duck Dong" is offensive, it's probably because it's not aimed at you, and there may be no comparable insult more relevant to you. But that's cool- all I beg you to know is that just because you find it funny, doesn't mean other people are ok with it, and it's just plain considerate of you to not say those things. That's what it boils down to. If you think someone might be offended by what you're saying, don't say it. I'm pretty sure I learned this in grade 1, haha.

At least the negotiations to bring Gomi into the UFC went smoothly.*
But if they didn't, that's OK, because he's a hack and ducking guys like Spencer Fisher.**

This is truem unless you are a minority and are making jokes about the white man, then it is OK. Hell you see it in every movie where there is a minority star, gotta get the one crack in on the white man.... So unless that stops, I say making jokes about any race is open field. If everyone looked at it like Carlos Mencia, and realize there is funny shit about every race, and laugh about it, instead of crying about how your feelings are hurt, this crying PC BS will never end..... sheesh give it a rest and deal with it... Long Duck Dong is FUNNY.. Even if you were an Asian raised in America you would laugh at that name... Hell I had an Engineer from Vietnam and his name was Phuk Mi.... Pronounced just like FUCK ME... and that shit is FUNNY!!!! and yes he was and still is a friend of mine!

I agree. Asians get fucked over on being the butt of racist jokes or comedy. Ironically you saw it right in some super bowl ads. It's pretty fucked up.

Are you referring to the commercial with the Pandas??? I didnt think that was racist. Pandas are from Asia. I mean would it made more sense to make the pandas come off as muslims or an Irish person??
