I'm not sure if I even get the joke.

Being more American means having blonde hair and a big nose?

This has got nothing to do with being american but white (europeans) people in general.

He reminded me of Donald Trump for some reason - must be the hair

No no, they don't make fun of europeans as far as i'm concerned. They make fun of their own 'according to them' ugly noses and ugly black hair.

It's fun to joke about stereotypes, i have heard jokes like that a lot in SE-Asia and they are harmless. Nothing like the oversensitive western 'white-peoples' world at all.

I had no idea large noses was associated with whites so the ad was just bit confusing. He looked like Steve Martin in "Roxanne".


Not so much large but long and thin. Its like my brother has taken on my mums italian genes so when we are describing him we say he has like a sticky out white person type of nose.

Not to try offend anyone or anything

No offense taken. Not bothered at all by the ad or the perception. I think any group sees particular traits standing out more in other groups than they may see in themselves.

Seems to me that Japanese view themselves as stern and emotionless towards eachother. They see Whites as outspoken and hug monsters. (-__- )*

I guess it is deserving, because Whites did portray Japanese as buck tooth with glasses.


But it seems every white dude on this site has an Asain women fetish, loves anime and everything Japanese.

American culture is said to be the ultimate indivivualistic culture while Asains are the least individualistic people. So the obeservation is not really false.

What's the world coming to when every damn thing is construed to be racist?

Soon you will be condemned if you offend anyone for any reason.

You can't even offend a console on this site. Even that has "rights".

meh, like the rest of the world isnt racist all the time.

Very true.
Yea go to the South in the US. I'm not saying all of them but in some parts, just wow.  I'm white and I'm embarrassed of these people. Seems thats where white trash congregates. I know all areas have bad people, Just never liked the deep South hillbilly types.  Reminds me of knuckle dragging Neanderthals.

Holy frick. The sheer irony and stupidity in this post is absolutely astounding.

Read your post back to yourself and realize how backwards it sounds.

You don't drive Trucks. I do. I been there many times. You haven't or you live there and don't like what I have to say. All the truckers up here hate the south. LOL

Racist humor still flies over there, which is also true for much of the rest of the world outside of America. For all our intransigence on economic liberty, we've really been racially sensitized quite well.

 

(Edit: Other English-speaking countries also seem to be good about it. Mainland Europe... less so)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
