Racist or not?...you make the call.

jew isnt a race

[Alex/Mugaaz]

Am I the only one who just finds racist expressions and racial slurs absurdly funny? Aren't we at the point now where racism is more or less gone? Ive never seen a person and be like "Oh no he's XXX I don't want to hang with him" I just find the terms horribly funny since they offend people and yet they can never say why exactly. It's the equivalent of Raptor's HOLLA signature. He could post pure [censored] gold in the strategy forums and people will completely ignore because of that one line. It's so beautiful. The best way to drop a racial joke is to be friends with a guy for 2 weeks, then drop the single most offensive one you know, brownie points if regards his ethnicity. There is the best pause of akward silence followed by immediate realization of how stupid him being offended was.

Nope, I think they're hilarious. I love them.

That's not just what racism is. Racism is feeling superior because of race. There's also very much prejudice around, assuming something about someone because of their race. Usually negative.

Goddamn, I just had a major fit of deja vu for some reason.

I find that like the term "nigger-rig"

[/ QUOTE ]

What does this term mean?

[/ QUOTE ]

I've also heard the term be used as the less offensive "jerry rig"

It basically means that you fix or make something using spare or random parts. For example. Say your car broke a belt. Well instead of getting a new belt you decide to tie together some socks, wire, and glue to make a new belt. It is much like being McGuyver.

[/ QUOTE ]

Something can be jury-rigged or jerry-built. You are talking about jury-rigged with the MacGyver stuff.

Jerry-built is just plain badly made.

Never heard the phrase till I heard it in a movie - must be an Eastern thing...

But I grew up in MT - When you were racist there, it was against the Indians, but we weren't exactly inviting to the African American community neither.

You can say it's jury-rigged all you want, but at this point both are typically accepted and probably somewhat broken down by region as to what is typically used.
