Bugs Bunny says something like "crazy iraqi people"
Daffy Duck gets mad about it
What will Bugs Bunny think? If you still can't figure it out, he would probably think that Daffy Duck is Iraqi or have iraqi friends! SOMETHIN across that line!
so Bugs Bunny says: you must be a native from Iraq!
There's nothing wrong with what he was thinking, right? He wasn't being racist, he was just being logical. And guess what......
Well, that's EXACTLY how I was thinking!
what the hell, you are likening yourself to a sophomoric cartoon character. Is there something wrong with what he was thinking? to you, people who think differently than normative views are wrong (as we go back and look at the thread where you said "crazy people don't know any better!"), it could very well be wrong. But, to someone as me i would say there is nothing "wrong" about it, but i think it acting in bad ethics, is insensitive, and not civiliized.
If you insult someone, stop being a coward, stop copping out of things by not answering specific questions aaqthree poses at you, also stop getting impatient with them when we are the ones being patient with a young''n such as yourself.
Whether or not your logic followed a consistent path, is stupid. I do not see why you place priority in such a miniscule point in this whole discussion.
If someone was talking about a drug dealer, and i said oh he must be black, i am being both sexist and racist. When someone does not like the term crazy iraqis you say that "ooo [they] must be iraqi," but why would non-iraqis like it? In effect, you are:
1) calling aaqthree an iraqi, which he is not,
2) caling him crazy
3) caling all iraqi people crazy
4) you also said in another thread that crazy people do not know any better, so you are saying all iraqis do not know any better (i.e. know as well as the normative thinking do), aaqthree does not know any better, his uncle does not know any better, and finally
you are not even apologetic. You still try to defend yourself, not taking up responsibliity for anything.
Now, stop with you round-a-bout answering, ignroring or whatever, stop being a coward and own up to what you did and how you think.
Whether or not there was somethign wrong in the way you were thinking is irrelevent. No one is concerned here with correctness except you, whether it was right or wrong, it was racist.
