Liberal Confucius
Posted by Elizabeth (+9) 18 years ago
I'm finding myself increasingly annoyed and offended by "Liberal Confucius" and his/her psuedo-Chinese broken English, "Confucius say-" type language and repeated references to Mao. Frankly, what's really getting to me is the intentional l/r substitution. I'm sure it would shock him/her to realize there IS an Asian American population in Miles City (not that a lack of Asians makes his behavior acceptable), and I know I can't be the only one offended by his/her "schtick."

I'd really like to see these posts come to an end. They're inappropriate and reinforce negative stereotypes about the Chinese. I don't mind reading this person's opinions, whether I agree with them or not, but I very much mind that the opinions are cloaked in secrecy and simultaneously demean a culture that is precious to my family.

Thank you,

Elizabeth

Hear hear. Racism is racism, even if the racist intends it to be 'cute' or 'amusing.'

It isn't.

Use your real name and express your real opinions in an intelligent and non-offensive (not inoffensive, some opinions are bound to draw offense) manner and you are welcome.

your right this was absolutely tasteless ethnic humor when it puts down liberals or communists is just sick and wrong
now my liberal friends calling condaliza rice aunt jemima when she was nominated thats just good politics shes not really black shes republican
and when the simpsons celebrate ethnic diverseness with that fun loving indian apu who speaks broken english and does what for a living? oh right, runs a quickemart. thats just quality comedy, since they make fun of that evil republican burns
and when leno and saturday nite make fun of mexicans on a weekly basis, thats funny funny stuff. because we all know those guys voted for me
i mean its only fair since republicans had their chance with mcarthyism, its time we had a way to shut them up instead

Still not enough courage to use their real name...Shame, shame. (Or perhaps no spine.) Bruce Helland (Easy to find, and always willing to share what I think AND stand behind it.)

LC and JFK. Is this the same song second verse. more unintelligible spew?


If my memory serves me correctly I believe there is something in the rules of conduct for this site regarding impersonations. (7)

The whole LC and JFK thing has grown old. Due to this, and because of violations to the rules of conduct, the two accounts are now gagged.
