I dont think you understand your own post. Or maybe you are changing what you are saying now, I dont know. It does not matter that Okami was not translated correctly. You were making a point that people got "butt hurt" after hearing what he allegedly said.
Then you said that is the EXACTLY SOME ASIANS FELT....I assume you mean thats exactly how some asians felt when Dana made his comment. Im not that great of a typer either.
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.
lol... yes, being PC is the silent killer. What the fuck are you doing to your brain dork?
I haven't slept since Wednesday lol so its probably dead.
Something you said about White Men only bitch about it. My Non Western Civ teacher bitches about it all the time an he isn't white. He probably bitches because people turn him in for the shit he says in class.
Also i would actually like to hear some peoples opinions, to be honest i grew up in a really racist place, but its hard to be racist when my brother, yes my actual brother is half black.
I don't know much about politics, or anything like that, i don't really pretend to know about them. Thats why i wonder about whats said in here, would it really be racist, or just a rant from someone.
Without trying to extend this thread any longer, I'd point out that judging the current state of civil rights without looking at history is niave and short sighted. When people from underrepresented groups fought to gain the amenities the quote you posted lists; the people in power did more than call them names.
One of the issues is the lack of unity among a mainstream [White] culture. People from an underrepresented group are forced into varying states of unification by an oppressive culture, and thus make more progress toward social change.
The bulk of White America doesn't really care if there is a White History Month, and so they're not willing to fight and get called names about it.

I think it's poor taste as well, and plays to the lowest common denominator regarding humor. I find it unfortunate that the CEO and spokesperson for the largest and most recognizable MMA organization in North America habitually makes jokes that most people outgrow by the time they reach high school.
