I'm not sure which offends me more, the racism, or the sexism.

I find it utterly hilarious that Kid has no idea who Mrs. Snuggles is.

I find it sadly predictable.

Y'know, even bringing up the social rejection thing doesn't make sense for your argument. Part of the reason for feminism is to combat the social violence perpetrated against women, and civil rights is to combat the the societal rejection/pigeonholing of ethnicities and other minorities.

One could argue that with respect to the original post, we saw an example of social violence towards the Asian woman, perpetrated by another woman--not physical violence at all.

As much as I'm against social rejection, I believe that LYNCHING is worse!

In fact, are you implying that Asian culture forces women to be submissive?

How well-versed in Asian culture are you, if we're going to go the route of giving our experiential credentials?

I realize that by "Asian" you probably mean what used to be called "Oriental"--China, Japan, Korea, Thailand and places in that general area--but even so, isn't it a bit much to speak of a single "Asian culture"? I mean, it's not like there's a "European culture" except insofar as we all like cheese and used to hump the animals we milked to make said cheese...

...no. Sadly, I don't think you were joking either. You're so far out that insanity to the opposite extreme and moderation seem identical to you.

I wonder if he can even see the middle from where he is.

Who is Mrs Snuggles? I have forgotten myself.

So you think social rejection and physical violence are equally bad?

[Kidlicious]

Oh, I forget about some people's participation in taser threads. Nevermind. I forgot where I was for a moment. This is poly. Go ahead and call me crazy. It makes a lot of sense.

What exactly do you think leads to the physical violence against minorities?

Well, I was using it in a rather broad and inconsistent sense, honestly. Generally, when I do refer to Asian, I do speak often of Northeast Asia; though there have been times in this thread when I've referred to the entire continent, as well.

It is a bit much to speak of a single Asian culture, but even with the vast differences between all of them, there are some commonalities that can be drawn.

For instance, filial piety; the influence of Buddhist and, to a lesser extent, Hindu, Daoist, and Confucian thought.

Still, I will admit that I've been inconsistent with my use of a very non-specific, overly generic term.

Check your PMs, but let's let Kid guess.

Often, those that are lynched are lynched because they are... socially rejected. The African-Americans and the Jews who were often lynched in the American south were also often treated as outsiders, others, which made treating them in inhuman fashions so much easier.

That said, I've never claimed that lynching was 'less bad' than social rejection.

So by me telling someone that I don't want to be their friend I'm responsible for them going out and shooting someone?
