Baker's "Gooks Of Hazzard" Backlash

[planman]

So to the 'this shirt is racist' camp, how do you feel about an Asian person (specifically Filipino, even) wearing this shirt? What's your opinion on Nuge and Shimizus involvement, are they traitors to the cause?

I agree that white people should understand that we'll never understand racially sensitive topics/slurs, but by the same token how can a white guy say shit about some Asian individuals choosing to make light of a historically offensive term?

I don't care, it's like us black people sometimes call each other nigga. We can say it, but if someone who isn't black says it, a lot of heads are gonna get turned

I wouldn't wear it, but I found it funny in a dumb idea kind of way. Nuge is from the fucking south so I am sure he has heard his share of racist bullshit. Isn't that whole line of boards all about making fun of stereo types?? How can anyone with a straight face accuse Baker off being racist when half the team are people of color??

I think of it this way, its a poke at stereotypes, yeah. But, the person who the pro model is for is of the same ethnicity, so the fuck what? Freedom of speech motherfuckers.

one of my best friends moved to northern california to work at EA on video games and i recently talked to him and asked how he liked it. he said it was mostly good except for two things.

one, that houses were so expensive and the cost of living in general

two, the politics. i asked him why the politics and he said "i've been a democrat my whole life but the liberalism is to extreme here. it's too much of a good thing in the worst kind of way."


gipper i need to thank you for helping me to better understand what my friend was talking about without the need for traveling to northern california.

SLeazy if you dont like Political Correctness so much.....then why do you work on (Window) Pc's for a living?   (Just makin a joke....dont take offence )

[Sleazy]

gipper you crack me up with the way you get all twisted up to make your points.

so it's ok for a jewish guy from california to generalize texans with slurs but an asian guy making an asian joke is crossing the sensitivity line. the first sign of blindingly following extremist views is hypocrisy.

(None of this following really matters , Sleazy still has to acknowledge the fact that I am far from the only one taking the position I am. As soon as he does, he'll have to actually think about what I am saying, and that will be an uncomfortable position)

hahahaha. Don't get so sensitive about name calling related to your homestate! Its just names you backwards-ass, barely-literate, pray-for-rain, George Bush and Rick Perry-voting hick! You said it doesn't matter! Everybody is too PC right?

I should be able to point out the fact  that you are a stolen and illegitimate state with a bunch of fucking stupid, barely literate, redneck cowboy wannabes.

No doubt, you think you are smart because you learned history in one of those awesome Texas schools where its illegal to teach about Thomas Jefferson or Cesar Chavez, and all of the rest of the ignorant hicks who voted in George W. Bush and Rick Perry probably think you are some sort of genius, but the thing is, people from Texas are nothing but a bunch of backward, cowboy hat wearing, low wage making fucking morons.

This is your current governor:


Wow! What a fucking stupid ignorant state! Of course your governor wants to get rid of the department of Education! It must be tiring to be outsmarted by children (from other states of course!)

Again, don't get offended stupid hick, these are just words,you fucking slave state crackers are too easily offended!

[krewkruxklan]

and again a bunch of white people arguing about whats racist and what isn't...smdh

i dont think baker would've dropped the shirt if nuge and whoever didnt approve. if there's an asian version of an uncletom i think nudge is just  that.

I would not rock that shirt around DC.  I think it's pretty funny, but a big mistake skateboarders ten to make is that everyone gets the humor in stuff like this.  In the general population, almost 0% of people have any idea who Nuge and Shimizu are or what Baker is.  My neighborhood has way too many Vietnamese and Koreans for that shirt to be appropriate. 

[Sleazy]

come on gipper, i know you know a good red neck joke. give me some of that northwest underground flavor.

[ToLiveaLie]

I'm just stoked Shimizu's getting some love. Any attention is good attention.

gipper is a racist

^ Yeah, fuck gay people's civil rights! People are too sensitive these days, with their demands of equal protection under the law! Poor Chik Fil A, all they did was donate millions of dollars to oppress others when they didn't have to, they are totally the victims!
Who the fuck tolld people its okay to boycott Chik Fil A! Making decisions in a free market about where we want to spend our own money is so unamerican... They need to pass a law that forces people to go buy food at Chik Fil A to stop these socialists who believe in a free market!
Seriously, are you that fucking stupid that you somehow think that we must tolerate intolerance and oppression? Whatever happened to fighting back against oppression? Or do you only do that when its a "government conspiracy" to take our guns and bibles?

The whole Chick Fil A thing has shown the new racist's mantra is clear as day- "telling me to stop oppressing others is intolerance, and is just as bad as me wanting to deny rights to an entire class or people"

Everytime I hear that, I want to punch the fucking idiot who said that in the face, and if he tries to do anything back say something like "Whatever happened to non-violence?"
Its that stupid.

Why do you buy into the conspiratorial right's BULLSHIT so willngly? You say you are skeptical of mainstream news, that's fine, but why the FUCK do you buy such stupid lines of reasoning from the hard right without ever questioning them?

Shit is delicious.
