To understand it, simply read the rest of my post.

Don't like politics? Too bad, it's-a Mario time. Level: 82 Posts: 848/2062 EXP: 5098587 Next: 110640 Since: 03-14-16 From: Stabbing Wario Last post: 418 days ago Last view: 418 days ago |
Posted by Yami I've been there for 6 years now. It's not bad. Though it's definitely pro-LGBT and they'll get all over you if you don't want gay marriage legal or you don't like transgendered people, considering that a big chunk of the forum is LGBT. And they're definitely on the politically correct side, which is why they called your jokes racist. Yami's jokes for context. More context: the thread was in Mindless Junk (can't view it in public) and it was being derailed. I think someone was posting verses from a Sonic song, and Yami chipped in and posted this.
People didn't respond to that well at all. If I were there, I wouldn't have either. |

People didn't find it funny either, but they said that a racist joke is a racist joke no matter how funny.

Eh, just to begin with, I've never expressed any hate towards LGBT, not even back there.
Because, why should I hate lesbians, bisexuals, homosexuals, transgenders, etc.? It's their choice, their way of living, and I won't stop them in any form. Next, being a Mexican is not a race, it's a nationality. And just mentioning the nationality without any hateful context doesn't make me hate them. Because, if only using the word "Mexican" is racist, then why weren't I banned when I said "American", "Dutch", "Polish", "Belgian", "Japanese", or any other nationality? Finally, what's wrong with the second joke? Not even the people there complained about that one, as far as I can remember... Long story short: I'm no hater of anyone, I'm not a racist, it's just that I prefer realism over political correctness. |

How is a joke about Mexicans being stupid "realism"?
I don't care about your pedantry, that "joke" basically characterized one group of people as degrading and homogeneous. And no one called you a racist, but your jokes as racist (when they really mean demeaning, but their point still stands). That joke was insensitive and I find horrible since I have friends with Mexican heritage who would very insulted. Second one's joke is all about an equally degrading stereotype and I also don't find that acceptable. Stereotyping isn't about "realism" or "political correctness", it's just being mean and degrading to a group of people. |

IMO I think you're taking this a bit too far. Those jokes weren't meant to be racist and don't look that racist to me. Jokes aren't supposed to be taken seriously and people shouldn't get offended by them and I think it's far from enough for a ban. ____________________ Nothing to say, so jadnjkfmnjamnfjkldnajfnjkanfjdksan jsdnvj m. |

I wasn't saying the jokes are realistic (those wouldn't be jokes otherwise), I meant realism in general.
And I weren't talking about whole groups, the first joke was about 3 people, and the second joke was about 1 person (or 2, if you include everyone). Not to mention that all these people mentioned were fictional. Not saying that blondes or Mexicans don't exist, I mean, people mentioned in jokes are never actual people (they might include famous people sometimes, but I never make these jokes myself). I know opinions differ per person, but don't take opinions as facts, while in this case, they're no facts. Edit: Sorry, I skipped one sentence. I never said, in any way, that Mexicans are stupid. What's even the point of saying that? |

TBH even if it was "racist", politically incorrect jokes are usually pretty decent. You're not necessarily racist if you find racist jokes funny. You're not necessarily sexist if you find sexist jokes funny. ____________________ No, not doing SM64DS hacking, just here for the waffles. |

I don't want to backseat mod here, but I think it's better for all of us to move on, and leave 2012 behind us (yes, that's how old these jokes are, so why should we even bother discussing them?).
I've just realised that people tend to change, so how I was in 2012 is irrelevant in 2016, same for anyone else. No matter the year, I only want to make friends, not enemies. But how can I even become friends, when certain past events tend to get in the way? |

People hold grudges or some crap that's why they don't change.
