your logical reasoning is obviously incredibly piss poor. you get all sensitive about throwing insults, yet and still you do the same. get it together, you mental midget.

and like i said, your opinion on whether or not to argue the racial prejudice of adidas is irrelevant because you're not of the group that has been offended. thus, whatever menial feeling that you have is rendered moot because of your perspective. so with that being said, the people's whose opinions "give a shit" are not white people's, because yours are not the ones being caricatured yet again. but then again, people like you love to interject stupidity and ignorance just to up their post count. this is your school of thought (or lack thereof) and concept working here, not mine. not my fault, you were so incredibly stupid that you were veered off the subject and went off on some insignificant tangent in the last few posts.

your school of thought is exactly what i said it was, and it is evident from the garbage content that you post. just because you're too stupid and too much of an imbecile to see it is neither here nor there to me.

like i said in a previous post....actually taking the time to sit here and explain anything above simple arithmetic is going to be a bust.

Sorry for interrupting the internet love affair between starang and whateverhisnameis, but:

"Colored people" and "people of color" are not the same thing. Completely different references with completely different connotations.

Why are you wasting your time, starang?

They don't reference the same thing?

Its not nice to confuse the optimists. :(:confused:

Sensitive? Do you think you are hurting my feelings by calling me a twit/dimwit/mental midget? Are you within the group that could be offended by a Chinese caricature on a shoe? Yeah, it took me a second to realize that you were doing nothing more than making ridiculous generalizations about the view points of White America simply because some of us may have not been stereotyped or the victims of a caricature. That is all that you have stated, nothing more, nothing less. I hardly think that makes anything you have posted meaningful or insightful. Who are you to say that a Chinese person would give a shit what some Black person thinks about a picture on a shoe. It seems to me that you have made yourself some supreme representation of all things race...why? I don't know. For whatever reason you feel that you can speak of the view points and feelings of different "people of color" is beyond me.

my community service for the day, lol.

hewwo.

you are indeed quite sensitive. your generalizations about my race show your ignorance to your surroundings, lol. do a search, i'm sure someone on here has made some sort of issue about my ethnicity, hell i'm sure someone's started a thread on it or it's part of the FAQ's.

go on and on about my ridiculous generalizations..but the fact of the matter is that what i've said is true. but regardless of whether or not i am asian is a moot point, the point is that the caricature is foolish, ignorant and irresponsible.

now back to the subject, as one who is a part of the race being caricatured....this right chea is proof positive how white americans marginalize prejudice and bigotry against asian americans.

Not trying to be ignorant. Maybe I don't feel like delving into a search on GC concerning your race. I just asked if you were within the group. Not that big of a deal. I am not trying to make an issue out of your ethnicity.

I would think that you could maybe look at bigger issues as a way to showcase how white american "marganalize prejudice and bigotry against asian americans." Maybe its just because i'm and "ignorant white boy", but I just don't see a butt ugly pair of shoes as a foolish, ignorant, and irresponsible issue in the grand scheme of things concerning racism and bigotry.

you're the one who said you're an "ignorant white boy," not me. but i guess if the shoes fits, wear it. not pun intended.

yes, the shoes are ugly...but like i said, you don't have to see the prejudice in them because plenty of asian americans do. and even if you do, the fact that you're marginalizing them is a prime example of exactly what i'm talking about.

prejudice/discrimination/ect. isn't only an isolated issue such as this, caricatures such as this have been going on for years, most recently the abercrombie shirts or the gay vs. asian article in details a few years ago. or even the numerous "ching chong" jokes done by high profile people such as stephen colbert, adam corolla, and shaquille o'neal. this is not a small issue, but yet another example at how white americans view asians as the silent minority, and how we're not allowed to rock the boat in a sea of ignorance.

the "coolie" perpetuated.
