I wouldn't be surprised if the Jamaican judicial system calls it a "justifiable homicide" or "manslaughter" at best.

Jamaica is a great place to visit and it's a beautiful country but it has a high violent crime rate and it's also known for a lot of anti-gay hate. Jamaica's government hands out prison sentences to people who have gay sex.

Not surprising. Jamaica is mostly a backwards violent dump that is behind the times. RIP to the teen.

You're such a card, Ultor

A lot of people have a great philia for certain things, but I'm a total audiophile. I love all types of music, and if you can see on the left of this post, it lists me as an "Audophile," indicating my audiophilia. I'm also quite a foodophile (lover and aficionado of foods), and I also go through biophilia (lover of nature).

However, I'm stuck in area full of oenophiles, who are people who love wine, due to the vast selection of wines where I live, because of all of the wineries here.

What kind of phile are you?

Tell that racist to stop.

Just kidding, I don't think it's offensive, but it's probably not a proper term to use.

Why are there so many Asian threads on NG recently? I don't understand why some people are so fascinated by us.

Not that it's a bad thing...

Ask Oprah.

Honestly, I don't really think it was racially motivated as she said it is, but I don't know every detail of the case.

I think we can all agree that a lot of the newer Simpsons sucks massive ass. They should just end it now.

The Simpsons Movie was pretty good though.

yeah, but that was just the movie, and it was good. The episodes, on the other hand...

CNN article

Oprah was recently asked about racism, and she said "Racism for me doesn't show itself that way. It still exists." After that interview, this incident happened:

Oprah Winfrey was in Zurich, Switzerland recently and she tried to buy a $38,000 crocodile skin handbag in a store, and Oprah asked 'Excuse me, may I see that bag over your head?' and the employee says to her 'No, it's too expensive.' Oprah asked again, but the employee then said again "No no no, you don't want to see that one, you want to see this one, because that one will cost too much and you will not be able to afford that." Winfrey says she asked a final time to see the bag: "One more time I tried -- I said, 'But I really do just want to see that one,' and she said, 'I don't want to to hurt your feelings,' and I said, 'Ok thank you so much, you're probably right, I can't afford it and walked out of the store. Now why did she do that?"

Many people are saying that it was racial profiling and that it was a terrible incident what happened.

The incident was SO bad that the Swiss Tourism Office offered an apology to Oprah and other well-established people from Switzerland feel ashamed that one of their own citizens reacted this way to Oprah Winfrey, one of the wealthiest women in the world.

Wow. The incident ever caused an uproar on Huffington Post.

No, but for some reason, retards like to think of us as Muslims, or a different kind. We are nothing like them, if anything we hate them.

Why should you hate somebody because they're Muslim? I knew of a Sikh person from high school and I doubt that he hated Muslims. Of course, he probably isn't fond of Islam extremists.

Not all Muslims are crazy or terrorists.

The KnowYourMeme description of a weeaboo says that it is typically (keyword typically) used for those of non-Asian descent.

What do you think NG - is it possible for some one who has at least some Asian heritage or their culture is "closer to Japanese culture" to be a weeaboo? (Note: neither of us are weeaboos, we just argue over who is closer to being one)

I'm half Asian (Chinese) and I guess I'd say a person who isn't from Japan may still be considered a weaboo if he/she still likes Japanese pop culture, but it really depends on who you ask. Yes, other Asians obviously look similar to Japanese and the Asians all have some similarities within their traditional cultures, but Japan is pretty unique. So it really depends on who you ask.

How do you know what country he lives in? In some countries, like Mexico, it is legal for an "adult" to have sex with a 13-year-old girl with the 13-year-old girl's consent. 13 is considered a child to me. It is wrong, yes, but if it's okay in supergandhi's country, then that's what it is.

Obviously the chances of this happening are very low. However, a small plane like that crashed in a field next to the house where Tom and I grew up. I have pictures of it somewhere. It flew almost over top of our house before crashing, if it went down a few seconds sooner it could have hit our house.

Wow really? That's terrible. I'm glad you guys made it out safe that time.

You are hundreds or thousands of times more likely to die in a vehicle accident than in a plane accident, as I have heard.

No, I hate you, you're worse than Hitler, you're a horrible man.

"Racist" and "racism" are such subjective terms that's it's ridiculous. I've heard people say (probably sarcastically) that it's racist if you don't like Mexican food, or something dumb like that. Anything and anyone can be racist in somebody's perspective. It's stupid...

a lot of my black friends my age say that they have no problem with it and they think it really is due to the fact that they just don't live in racially charged areas or never have dealt with real racism

When I was in high school there was one black guy didn't really like me or anyone that was non-black using the term, but I had a few other black friends who didn't mind but thought it was poser-ish to use the word and not be black. So I guess it depends on who you ask.

South Park also very commonly makes use of satire.

Sounds like a great film! I may check it out.

Tony-Darkgrave made a satirically racist comment about Asians in a thread made by Wade. Yet he seems to get away with it so far.
