Default Re: To BreakEvenPlayer From Grandgnu

please grandgnu, i need your help...

one question that has not been answered by any of us. why do we think it's okay to make racial jokes on an anonymous online poker chat, but none of us will do it in public at a live game? what makes it okay to do so? why is it okay to do it behind a computer screen where we wouldn't do it in front of strangers in a restaurant or at a casino? i need to know this answer so that i can argue with all the guys who call me a pussy.

i just need a comeback to tell them when i start making fun of wetbacks, sand niggers, and jews at the poker tables and people get offended. after all, if i saw it in a tv show, i have the right to repeat it online. give me reasons why its okay to hide behind a username? i need to know what to tell all these insensitive morons? and for all the guys who are offended by the racial slurs in the post, you have a right to not be offended, so don't be!!!

why do we think it's okay to make racial jokes on an anonymous online poker chat, but none of us will do it in public at a live game?

What, you never heard someone make racial slurs or tell a racial joke in public or in a live poker game? I've certainly heard it plenty of times. You've never heard this kind of thing in a bar. I have.

The reason many people won't make these type jokes in a live game is obvious.

You people have called Grandgnu, a douchebag, an idiot, a moron, etc. in this thread. Somehow I doubt you'd be willing to say those things to his face if you ran into him on the street. (Although he's admittedly only 5'1 so maybe that's a bad example, ROR)

Feel free to call me an idiot, a moron, an [censored], a pot-bellied drunken Irishman or whatever else you can come up with in response to this post. I'm sure you'd be just as quick to get in my face and say it if we ever ran into eachother.

of course i'd say it to your face. if you started making offensive jokes in front of me, hell yeah i'd call you a douchebag, idiot, moron, watever you want. i have no problems doing that.

look, in a bar with friends or a home game with buddies, i understand hearing jokes, racial or not. but are u gonna walk up to a stranger in a bar and start saying ching chong chang or rough out roud to him? no, why, cause you'd look like a jackass, the way grandgnu looks like a jackass when typing them out online. wat you don't understand is you are a douchebag because you have to hide behind anonymity to do it. blaming it on the media is immature and ridiculous.

You're attributing my saying "velly rice" and making fun of a speech problem that many asians experience when trying to speak english, with words and comments that are outright derogatory and meant to offend specific groups and put those people down.

I am not calling asian people a bunch of slant-eyed gooks, because I don't feel that way. You're trying to attribute "velly rice" and "rucky liver" with words such as "sand nigger, jew bag", etc. which just doesn't work. Apple's an Oranges man.

AHA! As Darth Vader Would Say........"I have you now...."

So what YOU are saying is that it's ok to tell jokes that might offend people as long as those people aren't around. It's ok to be a "racist" (since this is what you're saying about me) as long as you are a "racist" in private.

How is being a "racist" ok, in private or public? Again, my comments are not "racist". They are not calling any group of people inferior, they are making fun of a common problem that asian people have with a couple of english letters.

To say that I'm "racist" because of this is 100% incorrect and warped, get your head checked. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

according to you, the way a person takes offense to a comment is determined by the intention of the offender. if i don't hate sand niggers or think that they are inferior to me, is it still okay for me to call them one. maybe they will get offended by it. but according to you, it's intent that determines how offensive a joke or comment is. you may not think that saying velly rice or watever is offensive, but to others, it is. just because you saw it on tv or don't think asians are inferior doesn't make it okay, just like i shouldn't use the term wetback because i personally don't find it offensive.

CAN YOU GET THAT THROUGH YOUR IGNORANT SKULL???


and just so you know, saying ching chong chang, and remarks like that are meant to "offend specific groups and put those people down." DO YOU UNDERSTAND, for a long time, racial jokes and remarks like yours, "OFFEND SPECIFIC GROUPS AND PUT THOSE PEOPLE DOWN" Read that over.... just because chris tucker made a joke, doesn't mean it's not offensive and every douchebag who heard it can use it non offensively.

PLEASE TELL ME THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS...and you aren't gonna repeat, well, if comedians say it, so are you gonna tell all comedians to stop too? you really really can't be that dumb. I took a quote directly from your post and told you it is "outright derogatory and meant to offend specific groups and put those people down". and no, i'm not being just overly sensitive. do you get it now?

holy crap, i know nobody is really this dumb. busguy and all the other posters who gave up on this guy, i really really think it's just an act. you really can't be this ignorant or blockheaded, and if you are, you have got to be 12 or 13.

the point is, as you said in many previous posts, you and your buddies make racial jokes to each other. that is wat im talking about, guys busting on each other.


NOT ONCE HAVE YOU ANSWERED ANY OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE? instead of your totally irrelevant responses, respond to this please...

one question that has not been answered by any of us. why do we think it's okay to make racial jokes on an anonymous online poker chat, but none of us will do it in public at a live game? what makes it okay to do so? why is it okay to do it behind a computer screen where we wouldn't do it in front of strangers in a restaurant or at a casino? i need to know this answer so that i can argue with all the guys who call me a pussy.

is your answer really, "well, the media does it, so i can do it, i dont think asians are inferior, so therefore its okay to make jokes about them, and if someone is offended, it is their fault for being over sensitive" If this really is your answer to my question, i truly truly pity you and will forever give up.

I believe that grandgnu believes he isn't a racist.

I believe that he is a racist.

By my standards, he isn't funny and I would guess never has been. More to the point, he desperately seeks attention, which he's getting here.

If I were to read his pathetic attempts at humor at the poker table, I would take them as an indication of low IQ and make a point of staying put and taking his money.

He doesn't get it, and is incapable of ever getting it.
