Epic Meal Time - Not Safe For Vegetarians
JD:
Is there a way to say "I think you're being a little over sensitive" without sounding like a marginalizing white dude?
Tom:
No. There is also no polite way to call some-one tone deaf.
Akima, it was pretty obviously meta-humour satirising the attitudes and oratorical mannerisms of strident vegans and bros.
Nodaisho:
I understand that there is a lot of racism in Australia, that doesn't even have the decency to be recognized as a problem by the general populace (unlike in the US). On the other hand, that's no excuse for you making racism accusations and then getting defensive when people point out what you missed. And that is a really shitty argument. You know as well as I do that people refer to China instead of "The People's Republic of China" (or the Republic of China, depending on where you stand on that matter), America instead of "The United States of America", or Australia instead of "The Commonwealth of Australia." When someone makes reference to killing babies and China, maybe you should get off of your high horse and remember that the PRC currently has a law that leads to illegal babies being killed, and that it isn't racist to point out how fucked up that is.
Alex C:
Why the hell are we talking about this instead of this?
Ozymandias:
Is this really going to be the thread where we condescend toward one of the very few actual minority members of the (lower) forum for being sensitive toward potentially racist comments?
Because I was pretty happy with the insane meat fiesta of the first post.
