Yeah, DB, you are right. It's not very nice, but at the same time, is it any different from calling us AngMohs or Honkies from HK? As it's the written word, we don't have the pleasure (?) of hearing the tone of voice being used.

Oh gawd...dazzlebabe wrote:WOW! Chinese take-out look upset? Is that even possible or are you using a racist slur?JR8 wrote: Wow, the chinkies really look upset.

It is in Chat, Jokes, Rubbish.
The linked video is a situation with clear racial dividing lines, so the scene is set if you like.
The humour is that it is a goodwill game that apparently goes 180 degrees wrong. That in and of itself can be seen as both ironic and amusing.
The use of the term chinkies, is a base play on the kind of people involved in the fight in the video and is meant facetiously. You know, as one might make an accompanying comment in a 'red-neck style' if you were linking a Youtube video concerning red-necks in an amusing situation.

I don't think it is a persons duty to proceed and ensure that they have no risk of ever offending anybody. Surely that would be impossible?
I happened to read this earlier today. Perhaps you might read it and consider what hardship encompasses.

p.s. You're chaining me, and trying to force me to admit 'crimes against society'. Do you see the parallel?
