...everyone in the crowd seems to be squintingnot very funny really
depends whether you have a sense of humour or not i suppose
or maybe its not funny to people who may have a chinese background so maybe best thing would be to refrain from racist jokes when you dont know what people will find funny and what people will find offensive - ie show some common sense
im pretty sure plenty people have a sense of humour but most realise what can easily be offensive and what cant .
wind your neck in mate - no offense meant.
wont wind my neck in at all with someone posting a comment which i feel and im sure others feel is racist - we have the spanish at the moment with the pics of them making slant eyes and everyone condeming them for being racist - your pathetic little joke is pretty much along the same lines and sick humour . so suggest have a little think before postingliek and that realise who you could be upsetting .
chill dude
sorry mate just my brother married a chinese girl and i have a chinese nephew and find it extremely insulting - just like what the spanish are doing with their pictures.
so if your brother hadnt married a chinese bird would you still find it offensive, it seems your offense is based purely on this. before he married her did you go around defending chinese people?
my bird is thai of chinese decent and i found it funny (just as she finds things funny and doesn't need others to be offended on her behalf), but then again my underpants are not too tight so i have not lost the ability to laugh.
anyway back to the games
yes i would of found it offensive no matter what - i just think people should be more careful these days as its hard to know who you will upset or what people will find offensive and what people will find racist.
and there lies the problem mate, i am surprised you even strike up conversations with anyone for fear of offending them since people like you make it ok for pathetic beings to be offended by the simplest of things or say they are offended. seriously people will be scared to open their mouths soon.
that said, the spain basketball team, i found that in poor taste to their hosts, however i wasnt offended by it as i am not chinese.
no offence intended mate but there is no need for you to go through life being offended for others when you are not even sure they are offended by it themselves, i am sure the chinese have their own jokes about us (their belief is that we all smell of dairy products as an example), singaporeans call us ghosts because we are white and
physical features are purely that mate and people joke about them, however i agree that there needs to be some control and if a chinese person was offended by a comment then i would apologise, however if someone was offended on behalf of a chinese person i would tell them to get of their soap box.
anyway just a difference of opinion, not worth arguing about. you have your beliefs and i hve to respect that
why are people pathetic beings thou if they find something offensive ?
we are all different in the world and we all live in the same place and have to be tolerant of each other and respect that some things you might find funny other people wont. there is still plenty of space for banter and humour just got to be mindful and have common sense to realise it might upset or offend someone .
Don't want to speak out of turn or anything but if I were an IOC official, I know who I'd have p!ssing in a bottle right about now.
