It doesn't make a difference if he's talking about a hat, he's stereotyping a race and that's not my brand of fun.

Oh, this is getting so tired, your delicate sensibilities make me wonder how you survive in society without running to the nearest corner to bawl your eyes out every ten minutes.

What Dr. Scribs did was no more racist than a European descirbing Americans as "people who like cheeseburgers."

so, what would you call the guy in this picture?

http://www.itss.brockport.edu/~pbar1227/gallery/week2/week2-Pages/Image16.html

and what does he wear on his head? is he portraying a racial stereotype, or is he just wearing a traditional hat and planting some rice?

He was describing a hat, not a person!

What, do you think "cotton gin" is just another term for a black slave?

He was describing a traditional hat worn by Asians (not the hat in the jet-blue picture) as a "round ricepicker"

It would be the same as calling a doo-rag a "cotton picker"

If you honestly don't get why that is inapporpriate, then I feel soory for you.

You're missing the point... or do you assume Darvlay works in the rice patties because he's Asian?

Describing a doo-rag as a cotton picker would not make any bloody sense!!! And neither do you!

The hat the good Dr. was describing is actually used in conjunction with picking rice (it is used as a basket) while a doo-rag has nothing to do with picking cotton.

bloody sense?

are you American or English?


In any event, racial slurs against asians are as offensive as racial slurs against blacks.

Go back to the thirties and tell a guy in a Ford "Phat Dubs"! He won't get it either.

I'm offended by your posting of a picture of Clansmen all wearing crosses...you are sterotyping Christians.
