O'Reilly Rips Coulter

[Q Classic]

QCubed:

If they don't care, why do you?

Maybe they think she's spot on

as a response to this:

what's even more stunning is that she hasn't had to retract it, not for want of action on the part of concerned asian american groups, but because nobody who isn't asian american seems to give a damn.

so are you saying that the majority of non-asian americans think that it's perfectly ok to use racially charged remarks against asian americans?

it's ok to say jap, nip, gook, chink, slant, zipperhead, slope, but it's not ok to say n*, or sp* ?

why do i care? because i'm a slant-eyed mongoloid who mabey might become part of the yellow peril some day. maybe because i'm one of the people who could be painted with that same brush for no better reason than i have the similar facial features as mineta, or wen ho lee, who the knee-jerk rightist "patriots" have branded un-american without making any distinction between a person's politics and a person's ethnicity.

yes, ann coulter has a half-decent point, one that if the majority of a certain type of criminal is of a certain type of ethnicity, it makes sense to put in just a bit of extra scrutiny on those of that ethnicity.

did she need to couch it in racially inflammatory tones? **** no.

did she know it was racially charged, linking an american of asian decent to an atrocity committed by asians with no american linkage? most definitely. did she care? doesn't look like it.

and by and large, it seems as if those who are white, black, and latino don't give a **** either. but had it been powell or rice, jesse jackson, al sharpton, and hell, most everyone else in the government would have been all over her ass to get her to if not retract those beliefs, at least apologize for being so...

The British generally mean South Asians when they mention Asians. Just saying...

Well, I was talking from an American point of view, obviously...

Who cares what the British say, anyway? ****ing retards say 'zed' instead of 'zee' for christ's sake.

[KrazyHorse]

What the **** do you have against zed, you *******?

[KrazyHorse]

****ing double post

[Drake Tungsten]

What the **** do you have against zed, you *******?

You'd hate it too if you had to reteach the ****ing alphabet to high schoolers because some dip-**** Kiwi decided to teach them bull**** letter names like 'zed'...

[KrazyHorse]

****ing colonial.

[Drake Tungsten]

You're all our colonies now, so I think we should set the letter names...

'racially charged?'

No, and I don't believe Coulter is saying this. I do agree that the tragedy of the relocation of Japanese Canadians and Americans has been blown out of proportion. It's still a tragedy, but in light of the Nanking Massacre, can hardly be compared.

why do i care? because i'm a slant-eyed mongoloid who mabey might become part of the yellow peril some day. maybe because i'm one of the people who could be painted with that same brush for no better reason than i have the similar facial features as mineta, or wen ho lee, who the knee-jerk rightist "patriots" have branded un-american without making any distinction between a person's politics and a person's ethnicity.

I don't think it should matter one bit, your ethnicity. I'm supporting one of you mongoloids in the Conservative party in my riding, whom I think is a fine candidate.

I live in Hongcouver, for pete's sake. We're a minority in some of the suburbs.

I've even dated a Korean for a short while. If you don't believe it, you can prolly find quotes in the OT Archive when I first started posting in OT.

did she need to couch it in racially inflammatory tones? **** no.

By your reaction, I think she's spot on. If this man in particular, was not Asian, would he have a job? The vehemence of your reaction seems to say that she's hit a sore spot.

If he is competent at his job, that is one thing, but it does no one any good to have someone who is incompetent, regardless of their race.

I'm still looking for the section that is 'racially charged.' It's not racist to accuse someone of being incompetent. Coulter is not saying that all Japanese are incompetent, just questioning why this man, in particular, has his job.

[KrazyHorse]

What does that have to with zee/zed?

[Ben Kenobi]

You spammers are off-topic in a Coulter thread.

Begone.

What would be the point in comparing these two at all?

I have my reasons.

and they are . . . . . .?

[Aeson]

He needs something 'worse' to play off of so it doesn't look so bad?

[MrFun]

I suppose I could try to downplay the injustice of early twentieth century lynching of blacks in United States by saying, "Oh but the Holocaust in Nazi Germany was so much worse!"
