what are you guys talking about, its clearly about miles
[close]

Right, but it’s calling him a “white guy” that is super weird/rude/dismissive
[close]
Miles isn't white though, I thought? I thought his family was Latin/Spanish (something similar, I don't remember actually) hence "Silvas" for his last name.
I guess it totally could be Miles if he is "white", and if so, I definitely stand corrected on this little bit of trivia. Magnus fit the bill the most to me, since I could see him on Palace more than Numbers.

Further, fuck Palace. Their shit is lame to me. These ads are trying to be edgy like those ads from the 90s surrounding Blind/World/Vision riders but waaaayyyy weaker and are just awkward low blows.

Yeah I know he’s not white and I can’t believe I got kooked over stating how shitty it was that they called him “some white guy”

Not shalom, Palace, not shalom.

If i was Tony Ferguson I'd post a heavy clip with the caption "@palace my ph no is 1800 GOFUCKYOURSELF"
If you see offensive comments, just let it go into one eye and let it out of the other eye, no tears and not sadness or anger.

Kostons Tampa pro runs have always been hard to watch, I don't think any person there ever thought it was funny.
Durao deserves so much better.

Never got into Koston because of shit like this. In almost everything he gets involved with, he always has to make sure that everyone knows how ‘funny’ he is.  Great on a skateboard but such an annoying kook.

Also it's an English company remember.

In England Miles is considered white.

It's not racist or ignorant. It's just different culture.

In fact it's the same nearly all over Europe.

I'm far too technically inadequate, but I think a meme of this video would be hilarious:

Names of laughable companies still holding onto relevance in 2021 (like Almost, Birdhouse etc,) on top of the almost dead peasants who are clambering to not get put on the wagon of already out of business companies (like 3D, Blueprint etc.). Then some guy comes along trying to put a nearly dead Numbers on there while he claims "i'm not dead yet"

Then a brand like Primitive rides past, "..how do you know that?" - "cause he's not covered in shit"

Probably a bit long winded but I love those kind of meme videos haha

Birdhouse and Almost are doing great numbers?

They may not suit you or me but they are successful.

Mate I swear Tony Hawk literally said he's losing money from Birdhouse these day in an interview or something... either way Mr Finicky, as you clearly know all the numbers you can insert you're own companies as you see fit... that's the beauty of a meme that's not even made yet...

Birdhouse probably survives on all the Tony Hawk Branded completes that go to KOHLS and Target type places, essentially they aren't Birdhouse but he probably funnels that money back in to keep it alive

In that case I apologise! Although best year for a company that's been losing money might not mean they're necessarily  booming, could be wrong though. Either way it was meant just as a joke, my bad

Not sure why you feel the need to throw out that people are "ignorants" over origins of a name. Especially when there are plenty of non-white people (I have actually seen some Latinx people with it, though it could have been by marriage and not by ancestral line) with Silva or Silvas as their last name. That justifies the thought that Palace wasn't talking about Miles, since people may not see Miles as white, but the dudes in England (Europe) may view it differently and were being cheeky with "white guy" on purpose, idk.
Miles' parents aren't white, as far as I can remember from one of those Berrics PUSH things some years back, since they were on camera in it.

Further, European =/= white, by default.

Also, if Atiba Applebum and/or I got kooked for this.... why? Hahah! This sub conversation about this Palace ad is way more interesting than what Numbers is currently doing/other parts of this thread.

I said the opposite.

I said that it's not palace being ignorant

Although them calling Silva's white may seem that way.

It's a difference in cultural norms.

So to recap... I said no one was ignorant.

Miles would be considered white in England.

Can see where Panettone is coming from on this one. Like it's obviously a debated topic in U.S about Latinx people using the N-word, it can be fairly common I guess?

But fuck... you should've seen the looks my Latinx friend from NY got for dropping that shit multiple times at a London skatepark. We actually had to warn him to stop else shit was gonna kick off, cause in the UK you're seen as white.

dont know if you smart guys know this but latin -> european.
damn near every person from mexico to south america has european descent, meaning they are fucking white and are to stupid to realize themselves.
damn near every black person from south america is from africa.
surely they both mixed but not as some pretend to. stop saying the n word.

Nike probably diverted the money to Glue.

In all seriousness.... Koston and Guy never had a chance. One is a terrible human being and the other is a space cadet. There was never a moment of substance and their initial videos were awkward and forced. I hope Durao gets his.
    If Miles Silvas skated for the company then it definitely had a chance. I just think Koston and Guy were unimaginative and lazy with the brand, expecting to coast by with their legend status names and a good team. People were paying attention, they just didn’t deliver.

This was some nice info about UK heads and how they see other cultures (vice versa with US and elsewhere)
I'm white so if I visit London I'll blend in until I start talking, then you'll know I'm American haha!

Panettone, I know you weren't. Your POV was a good one on it. I was referring to Swithflip on why "ignorant" was thrown out about me or anyone else that didn't think Miles was white,  etc. Like you said, different culture views on names/ethnic origins of people, which threw some of us of.

Back on topic, Numbers seems like it's going nowhere, which is a shame for Durao. I could see him on Krooked, Business &  Company (for some weird reason), or Habitat.

Especially when there are plenty of non-white people (I have actually seen some Latinx people with it, though it could have been by marriage and not by ancestral line) with Silva or Silvas as their last name. That justifies the thought that Palace wasn't talking about Miles, since people may not see Miles as white, but the dudes in England (Europe) may view it differently and were being cheeky with "white guy" on purpose, idk.
Miles' parents aren't white, as far as I can remember from one of those Berrics PUSH things some years back, since they were on camera in it.

Further, European =/= white, by default.

Also, if Atiba Applebum and/or I got kooked for this.... why? Hahah! This sub conversation about this Palace ad is way more interesting than what Numbers is currently doing/other parts of this thread.

I said the opposite.

I said that it's not palace being ignorant

Although them calling Silva's white may seem that way.

It's a difference in cultural norms.

So to recap... I said no one was ignorant.

Miles would be considered white in England.

Can see where Panettone is coming from on this one. Like it's obviously a debated topic in U.S about Latinx people using the N-word, it can be fairly common I guess?

But fuck... you should've seen the looks my Latinx friend from NY got for dropping that shit multiple times at a London skatepark. We actually had to warn him to stop else shit was gonna kick off, cause in the UK you're seen as white.

This was some nice info about UK heads and how they see other cultures (vice versa with US and elsewhere)
I'm white so if I visit London I'll blend in until I start talking, then you'll know I'm American haha!

Panettone, I know you weren't. Your POV was a good one on it. I was referring to Swithflip on why "ignorant" was thrown out about me or anyone else that didn't think Miles was white,  etc. Like you said, different culture views on names/ethnic origins of people, which threw some of us of.

Back on topic, Numbers seems like it's going nowhere, which is a shame for Durao. I could see him on Krooked, Business &  Company (for some weird reason), or Habitat.

Thanks man. My English ain't great so sometimes I miss shit.

Shalom!
