SO many other people don't get it. And if they do get it they put it so offensively you feel as if you've done something to these people to tick them off, just by simply being. *sigh*<BR/><BR/><BR/>I think I have a stellar group of friends.

It was the first time I had seen any asian associations that stood out...and it was like an epiphany that I was Filipina. Ethnic backgrounds never really mattered in my hometown, or I was really naive and blinded by trying to see the best in others. <BR/><BR/>I come from a blended family of European Americans and Filipinos. As it turns out, all of my siblings married European Americans. So...all that ethnic garble never really mattered to me or my family because we're all blended. Even my cousins are...European American & Mexican blends.Joycelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702152896359938085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556756845096352998.post-25883745135742990852007-04-13T14:29:00.000-07:002007-04-13T14:29:00.000-07:00I absolutely agree Sherpa.

What does a public out cry have to look like for the change to happen? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Cliffy, girl you are one of the most easy going people I know when it comes to this sort of thing. I like your example. Sometimes people need to just laugh at themselves and roll with it. You do that while not degrading yourself and others.<BR/><BR/> I appoint you my Cultural ambassador :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sherpa, as always, My political example. <BR/><BR/>You both give hope to this world of sometime crappy people :)ShaBANGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435939559462982820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556756845096352998.post-3414036808405180892007-04-13T11:19:00.000-07:002007-04-13T11:19:00.000-07:00Are you calling me yellow??*raised eyebrow*Are you calling me yellow??<BR/><BR/>*raised eyebrow*Joycelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702152896359938085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556756845096352998.post-54474994946154066032007-04-13T09:30:00.000-07:002007-04-13T09:30:00.000-07:00See, I don't think the real issue is going to be a...See, I don't think the real issue is going to be addressed. Racism isn't really the underlying issue here. Since the '70's and before the US media has been focused on the sensational. Look who are big names in media pundits. There's Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Anne Coulter etc. They make their money by saying outrageous things. Imus has a history of this and people are speaking out. However, people are still tuning in to hear the hate, the shock value, the knee jerk reactionaries on the media; and so they'll still be advertisers to pay to support these people. This kind of language was talked against last april and this april in conference. However, until there's a huge outcry from the public about this sort of damaging media; there won't be any change.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334846713290013451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556756845096352998.post-62140897380796562292007-04-13T08:25:00.000-07:002007-04-13T08:25:00.000-07:00It's not.

I have two issues with this:<BR/><BR/>If someone well known in the media uses a racial slur, they should EXPECT the back lash and expect to be fired.<BR/><BR/><BR/>If humans want to stop being called derogatory slurs and racial slang, they better stop glorifying it within their own race and outside of it. PERIOD! I just don't see why that is soo hard to comprehendShaBANGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12435939559462982820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556756845096352998.post-72830750119656629512007-04-13T05:55:00.000-07:002007-04-13T05:55:00.000-07:00I'm seriously sick of this Imus stuff.

In some ways its good, in some ways its just lame. Its all about the shock factor. Sure there's a serious issue behind it all, one that we need to discuss, but I don't know if idignation and anger towards Imus is really going to get a dialogue going.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04334846713290013451noreply@blogger.com
