Title: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: voodoolily on November 18, 2005, 10:33:01 AM I saw this link (http://www.chgs.umn.edu/Visual___Artistic_Resources/Oscar_Arredondo/oscar_arredondo.html) on another site. I think it's a funny commentary on sports mascots, but you might think it's racist.

Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: Roac on November 18, 2005, 11:08:46 AM Clever, but I don't see the Indian mascot as racist. Nor are about half his pictures in the charactures, IMO. Do people in the northeast get upset by the Yankees? Irish get worked up over Notre Dame? You can't really cry racism of a race when something is intended to support that group, not degrade it.

This artwork finds its tongue-in-cheek humour in the use of a racial stereotype as a mascot.Title: Re: Funny? NSFW?

Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: Roac on November 19, 2005, 09:04:39 PM None of your examples are about race. No more out of context than the artist's use (ganster?). And while yanks may not qualify, they are a group which can be stereotyped against. As for Irish, yes, they are a race due to sharing common geneology, history, language, etc. Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: lamaros on November 19, 2005, 10:07:10 PM Didn't find it that funny. Clearly it's racist. That didn't bother me.

As for Irish, yes, they are a race due to sharing common geneology, history, language, etc. I thought that was ethnicity. Title: Re: Funny? NSFW?

I have no desire to read a semantics slapfight between voodoo and Roac about the proper definitions of race and ethnicity. Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: stray on November 20, 2005, 04:59:47 PM Don't Den this just yet. No discussion about race and ethnicity is complete without mentioning the chinks too.
Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: Sky on November 21, 2005, 06:54:20 AM The Jews are my favorite. Are they a race, an ethnicity, or a religion!?!
Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: Strazos on December 03, 2005, 01:47:04 PM Hint: They're not a race.
Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: schild on December 03, 2005, 02:45:20 PM Hint: They're not a race. I could make a pretty good argument for us being a race. But I'd REALLY like to hear yours on how we're not. Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: Shockeye on December 03, 2005, 02:47:02 PM Hint: They're not a race. I could make a pretty good argument for us being a race. But I'd REALLY like to hear yours on how we're not. Jews and Arabs are both semitic people. Title: Re: Funny? NSFW?

Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: Shockeye on December 03, 2005, 04:21:47 PM wow, where the fuck has strazos been all this time? At the shooting range. Title: Re: Funny? NSFW?

Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: stray on December 03, 2005, 04:24:18 PM Why are all of you posting so much on the weekend? What's happening?

Load up on the kevlar now boys and girls. Title: Re: Funny? NSFW? YMMV Post by: voodoolily on December 03, 2005, 04:27:41 PM Why are all of you posting so much on the weekend? What's happening? I'm stalking schild 'cuz he's not responding to IMs. And just woke up from a fried chicken-induced food coma. Title: Re: Funny? NSFW?
