Nobody is old enough to remember why blackface is offensive. I never even knew about it until I started seeing internet warriors getting angry.

So was there a huge outrage over tropic thunder?

Not huge, but yes there were some people offended by it. However, if you watch the actual movie, it's pretty obvious that they're making fun of Downie's character for doing something that is so offensive, not saying it's appropriate or something that should be done (same goes with Stiller's character for portraying the retard to win an award, they were making fun of Penn, Hanks, Gooding etc). But yeah, it was mostly overshadowed by the whole "retard" uproar.

Us white people did, after all, pretty much exterminate their people and then sequester them off in to conclaves of rampant poverty, sexual abuse, chemical dependency, and suicide.
Us? I've never exterminated or sequestered anyone, and neither, I hope, have you.

I get what you're saying though, about 'sexy Indian' type costumes, though I'm not sure where I stand on that issue personally. My gut feeling is that even though it's probably not in good taste, comparing it to blackface or getting as offended by it as people are, is probably over the top.
As far as blackface goes: Blackface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It should be pretty fucking obvious to anyone with half a brain why Blackface costumes can be perceived as very offensive to black people.
Which I totally get. But there's a huge difference between that, and a group of white girls dressing up as a set of TV characters and using makeup to change their skin tone where necessary to make the outfits more faithful. She's not wearing a black face costume, or a 'sexy ghettofabulous welfare queen' costume (which would be offensive even without the makeup), she's just using makeup to dress up as a character who happens to be black.

I don't really care if black people are offended. fuck their feelings. People aren't going out in a fucking racist rally to mock black people with blacken face.

I'd probably care if it was.

Yup, I agree with you and personally don't get offended by any of that shit. I thought the Prince Harry Nazi costume was hilarious. But in today's world, you have to be cognizant of the fact that there's a lot of weeping vaginas out there that will look for offense anywhere they can find it. If you're just joe blow going to a friend's Halloween party, then you probably don't have to worry about it. If you're a movie star, politician, professional athlete etc. then best to step carefully because you're going to get shit on if you do anything even mildly offensive or risque.

Fuck em. If they let me know indian offends them, I'll switch to redskin, or savage, or chief wampum. 'Native American' kinda pisses me off. It insinuates that I'm somehow not a fucking native of America. Words mean things. I would accept descendants of original settlers, as long as I was allowed to shorten it to DOS, cause they're not worth wasting that much breath on.

I partially agree with you. I prefer that they be taken alive, but only so they can be tortured for as long as possible until they die a horrible and painful death.

Guy in the car in front of me was shaving while driving, using his rear view mirror and swaying all over the place in the process. Fucker drove on the shoulder for a solid quarter mile before he realized this wasn't a fucking lane. Not a fucking cop car in sight in an area that usually has a TON of them.
Jimmies pretty rustled.

Thats what happens when our society is ran by tards. People who must certainly deserve the death penalty without a doubt dont get it but people who are convicted on shaky and contrived evidence get it.

I hate liberal PC bullshit too. When does one become "native" to a given area? 100 years? 200 years? 300? a few thousand? There have been white people on this continent for 400+ years now.

People who think that they are the exception to DUI laws then do this:http://www.king5.com/news/crime/Girl...230215001.html

Janeah and Janesah Goheen were as close as two sisters could be. The 17-year-old twins played music for their church in perfect harmony. Church members say they even finished each other's sentences. The fact that they'll never see each other again is almost impossible for those close to them to comprehend.

The two were on their way with a friend to celebrate Halloween in Seattle Thursday night. The crash happened along Highway 20 just outside Oak Harbor. An oncoming driver crossed the center line and hit the girls head on. The impact was so severe the girls had to be cut from their car. The state patrol says the driver who hit them was actually accelerating at the time.

Janeah died; Janessa was driving and somehow survived. She is in serious condition at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center.

I have more respect for people who are honest with themselves. People who are fat, smoke and don't exercise who know it will kill them earlier and don't give a fuck because either they love living their life that way or want to have a short life are cool.

Lying to yourself and others rustles my jimmies. Be honest with yourselves for fucks sakes, the world would be a much better place.

If she would would spend half the time she does writing her master's thesis on why life as a fat person isn't fair as she did on getting her ass to the gym and cooking for herself, I bet she'd be successful in losing weight.

My rustling is from people who blame shit like "thyroid problems" as to why it's ok they're fat. Yes, there is a portion of the population that is genetically more likely to be fat. But that's an incredibly small percentage of people, and more than likely you're not fat for that reason. So quit using that excuse. More than likely, your health problems are due to you being fat, not that your health problems are making you fat.

I'd rather you just said "I'm fat because I don't give a shit" or "I'm fat because I really, really love shitty food." That's why I can respect McCheese. He's not making excuses for his disgusting behavior. He owns that shit.

Edit: Grumpus just stole the 2nd half of my post. Ass.

Yeah I mostly agree re: fat people. I actually have a lot of sympathy for people who've put weight on and are trying to lose it, making big life changes is a hard slog, and our society doesn't exactly make it easy to be healthy, but if you give enough of a fuck about your weight to be offended by such an ambiguous concept as 'fat shaming,' then you should give enough of a fuck to be able to at least be working towards improvement.
