hes right you know. Orient means eastern occident means western. Its all eurocentric and if you seriously care about the feelings that the multiplicity of cultures that make Pan-Asia the wonderful place it is, then you wouldnt use such crass and low-brow terms that lump them all together in 1 easy to swallow pill for the white man

This isn't your battle. Some might find it insulting rather than allying.

its only insulting if youre stupid enough to take the entire eastern portion of the largest cultural continent on earth and lump it as asians. Its the same reason South Americans and MesoAmericans hate only US being called Americans. Cultural identities mean a lot to people and to sit there and base it off anything other than cultural distinctions, you get into a sticky wicket.

You've enevr stepped up for someone only to have them lash out at you for defending them rather than defending themselves?

Living in the midwest, I've seen black people lash out at white people for defending them against traditional hillbillies using racial slurs. The rationale is that your defense of them makes them feel like they can't defend themselves, or cant create or assume the cultural identity of their choice. If you've never witnessed thisd pheonomenom, it does seem to be chance and decided on an individual factor.


In other words, I'm not talking about offending someone who has made an incorrect statement. Im talking about offending some by (and while) trying to defend them.

one second, my japanese friend wants to reply to you:

ƒEƒFƒu‘S‘Ì‚©‚猟?õ“ú–{Œê‚̃y?[ƒW‚ðŒŸ?õ


oh...you dont know japanese...do you? When someone is silenced what is our choice?! They made fun of the Germans, and I did not reply. They made fun of the Alaskans, and I did not reply. I will NOT wait until they make fun of me and have no one left to help defend.

COUNTRY MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of not only THEIR country! We are now a GLOBAL society!!!!!!!!!!! We must take up the flag from our fallen brethren; be it a red circle, stars, or stripes! Only by advancing ALL of the flags will our society reach Utopia! We must not let one fall, nor falter, nor drag its feebled legs behind them! If they cannot walk, we will carry them! If they cannot see, we will talk to them! And if they cannot talk, we must speak FOR them and spread their message so others cannot mislead them!

NOW is the time, not some distant and murky future, but the clear moment of now, the decision time is here and to pass it along, or stick in the "next week" box at the office will do us no good!

A few insults it may seem now, but hundreds of years and thousands of voices have created an illusion of an enemy for ALL of us, and we must dispel these ghosts!


BRETHREN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HEARRRRRRRRRRRRRR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

They are a bunch of culture hating acorns Lira. If they only understood that once they break the rough top of discrimination off can their smooth shell of false politeness melt away and the rich seed of cultural understanding take root in the soil of heritage and the mighty oak of a wordly persun may Rise RISE to the light of Philos and one day create little racist acorns himself. *wipes a tear away*

Even if he did, I can't understand what's the point of giving a server-like message

"The Japanese language page couldn't be retrieved from the web"?
