Same here. I do remember a certain thread a while back that was supposedly aimed at the whites and some got ruffled up by that. Now it's our turn and we have to sit down and laugh with them and are not allowed to feel anything. What kind of hypocrisy is this?

[–]lolAndPalmer -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
I don't really get these anyway. One moment asian people supposedly can't pronounce the letter "R" (supplies anyone?), the next it's "L" turned into "R". Which is it??
[–]miekstro_v2 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
Chinese speakers have issues with "r" because it's really close to their "l".
Japanese speakers have issues with "l" because it's really close to their "r".
[–]FAN_ROTOM_IS_SCARY 7 points8 points9 points 5 months ago*
Actually, in Japanese at least (never studied Chinese), the characters ら、り、る、れ、ろ (Ra, ri, ru, re, ro) are pronounced as a mixture of L and R. Japanese doesn't follow an alphabet like we do, so when the characters are romanised, they're usually spelt with "r"s, as they're the closest thing.
[–]Mmarti5 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
I recently learned from my teacher that the L-R sound is not a difference at all in the language for Japanese speakers. But it helps foreign speakers learn to pronounce the characters.
But yes I used to love gearing my girlfriend say ear rings (usually came out as EyaLings). It was the best of times.
TL;DR: L and R sound are same in Japanese. Girlfriend used to say Earlings.

Embrace your ethnicity. It's not a personal attack. White jokes, black jokes, Jew jokes... all not intended offensively. Not sure about the Christian jokes on this subreddit though..
[–]Homeles 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
Some people find it funny, some dont. In this case, r/atheism has a wide audience, and you're going to offend people.
It also doesn't look good on us. The humongous anti-r/athesim circlejerk (which is larger than the r/atheism circlejerk itself) is going to look at this and say "hey, look, they're racist too!" Not that we should care, but it would be annoying to hear.
Jokes like this are fine in a setting where you're not going to offend anyone. This is not one of those settings.
[–]fuckingwhiteys 16 points17 points18 points 5 months ago
I dunno bout you bemani but embracing my ethnicity doesn't mean sitting back and laughing with these fucktards laughing at me and who I am.
It means calling it out, and putting in their faces how stupid they are. How utterly devoid of any effort or wit this "joke" is, and how the real joke is the person perpetuating this kind of idiocy.
Imagine for a second how much rage these dumbass 15yr olds would be if the tables were flipped on them. If the innocuous name "steve johnson" sounded like "cocklicker" in thai or something and he got made fun of every day for just a name. If his American accent and way of speech was mocked viciously in China as he tried to make a life for himself overseas.
Realize these people lack the empathy to place themselves in other's positions, their lack of world view, and all of that and ask yourself if its better to sit back and go with it because "they didn't intend it offensively" or some garbage like that.
I mean gee "I'm not a racist but..." "I don't hate black people but..." "no offense but..." all of these statements are followed up by offensive racist shit damned near every time. Think about how we are in an atheist sub where they cry foul about being singled out, about being persecuted, and yet these fucking fools can't stop thinking of only themselves and their little plight.
Your move junkie.
[–]bemanijunkie 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago
I make asian jokes. Black people make black jokes. I don't think it is wrong to make jokes if there is no hatred in their intent.
My friends make Asian jokes and I make other jokes and not get offended because we acknowledge the CONTEXT in which it was made.
I think the best way to get rid of racism is to stop taking every thing as an insult.
i'll stop ching chonging now.
[–]Able_Seacat_Simon 6 points7 points8 points 5 months ago*
An intent defense only works the first time you're called out on racist humor. If you've been told that racist jokes hurt people but then continue to say them then your intent now is to not care about the feelings of minorities.
[–]fuckingwhiteys 5 points6 points7 points 5 months ago
I joke around with my friends too, and get your point about intent.
Yet intent gets lost when its just an echo chamber, and as important as intent I find is the context and audience you speak about.
Joking among friends is one thing - joking as redditors are apt to do, in hivemind style of parroting and perpetuating, I feel has a much more reaching implication.
In the end you must do what you feel is right of course.
[–]RPESteven 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
A lecture on racism from someone calling themselves "fuckingwhiteys"? I don't find the mockery of Asian people funny and most of what you say has merit however your handle just makes you look like a hypocrite.

To be fair, I love racist jokes for its humor.
Especially when there is no harm intended, I think it's important to be able to laugh at oneself.
Let's all be honest. there are some tendencies across cultures and races that we find humorous. I think in terms of racism, intent is the biggest offending factor, at least in my opinion.
[–]machomike22 -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago*

Still racist. Still unoriginal and unfunny.
[–]Seahenry -4 points-3 points-2 points 5 months ago
As someone who goes to a school that is 60% East Asian, almost all native Asian speakers pronounce the "L" sound with an "R" sound until they live here in the US for a while.

[–]Spraypainthero965 3 points4 points5 points 5 months ago
Actually, neither the l sound or r sound exist in the Japanese langauge. What they have is somewhere between the two.
[–]Vulpis 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
Yeah, it isn't exactly the "R" sound, but it is written as "r" in romaji.
[–]kiefstone 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago
More accurately, their "R" sort of hovers between our "R" and "L" in the vocal spectrum. With some accents, if you listen you can hear it even on regular "R"s. "Terrible" would sound more like "Tearlubull."

In that case, saying that british's accent is cheesy is also racist.

[–]weedroid 2 points3 points4 points 5 months ago
British people aren't normally the subject of racial slurs though!
[–]Andreer -3 points-2 points-1 points 5 months ago
According to "HugeJackass" (very appropriate username, I must say), joking about accents is racist. Therefore, British people ARE subject of racial slurs.
So in theory, acknowledging that people have differences is being racist. We are all the same, yepee.
Internet is becoming a place where white people accuse other white people of being racist, while the "racial abused" secretly laugh about how pathetic they are being.
THERE IS racism in this world, however, nowadays people tend to overreact even to a single insinuation/joke/opinion, just because they want to look good.
Jokes are not the same thing as racial slurs! Nothing you say to a British person could be as hurtful as the types of slurs directed towards people of Asian descent.
[–]rjcarr -6 points-5 points-4 points 5 months ago
While yes, I am white, I have no problem with people pointing out white-isms. Maybe make fun of me because I can't jump? Maybe make fun of me because I can't dance? Sure, why not, it's benign.
Make fun of people because it is hard for them to pronounce certain sounds? It is benign, get over it. If they are offended, they should come back with, "how good is your mandarin?", or fill in your [asian] language of choice.
It is meant in fun, again, stop being so sensitive, and stop calling people assholes that you have never met.
[–]HugeJackass 4 points5 points6 points 5 months ago

There's a difference between political correctness and racism.
rac·ism [rey-siz-uhm] noun a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

For those that don't know why it's funny, in Japanese, the "r" and "l" consonants do not exist. When Japanese pronounce English words, the "r" and "l" sound the same because they can't/don't know distinct them. Why do I know this? One Piece, that's why.

I had a great computer class teacher who is from India, and he switched his V's and W's. So it was "Verld Vide Veb", and "Wisual Basic". Funny, but he was extremely intelligent and an excellent teacher.

That picture was from the EA protest IIRC, and it's been proven that those were hired actors to stir up drama for a game they were releasing. BUT, funny picture none-the-less.

To all those claiming this post is racist and offensive, do you mind explaining how? It comments on a phonetic trait of the Japanese language -- the "l" sound doesn't exist in Japanese and is instead pronounced as an "r" -- nothing more and nothing less. I fail to see how that's racist.
If they are using the joke as an insult to Asian people, then yes it is racist and very offensive. If it is used to make fun of Asian people, then it is also offensive and racist.
Simply pointing out how there is no "L" sound in Asian languages is not racist...but that is not what jokes such as this one does, is it? It makes fun of them.
Goddamn, thank you!
It's mindboggling how many people in this thread cannot or will not comprehend this little tidbit. "Praystation ror!" is just mean spirited juvenile racist dogshit they never grew out of.
Half these kids are acting like this was some serious discourse on linguistic differences or something higher. Keep patting yourselves on the backs and justifying the behavior.
Perhaps I am a bit more sensitive to such things because I am engaged to an Asian girl, but I still find it very offensive. Asians have every right to be pissed off at this sort of thing.
[–]archaeo-nemesis -1 points0 points1 point 5 months ago
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think it is an insult to Asian people. It really just seems to me like a goofy pun that happens to incorporate an aspect of Japanese pronunciation.
