Can you explain the difference between racism and material racism? Lovely thread showing your ridiculous, illogical bias right here. You're not for fairness (as a byproduct of eliminating discrimination), you're just after your own agenda. http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=244669&highlight=material&page=7 So one type of racism isn't real racism, but the other type is racism. Racism against asians is just words and jokes, so no big deal. Again, why are you so sensitive about words on a meme image?
CometsWin also had some very interesting things to say about our very own Rocket Yao Ming, at a time when Yao was dominating every other center in the league. There's a pattern here...
I thought you were well educated? Now all of a sudden after you drop a racial slur you don't understand simple concepts. It's as if you've been slapped around with a stupid stick. No, some racism has a material effect on people's lives and some doesn't but it's all racism. The discussion was in the context of Affirmative Action. You propose government action against non-material racism and I don't. It's rather simple to understand. Some angry clown dropping racial slurs on the Internet has no material effect other than exposing him as a hypocrite of course and as such I don't propose any government action to stop your racism. Glad I could explain this incredibly complicated concept to you. Why are you so sensitive of criticism of a point guard you yourself have called mediocre? What is your intersect in this mediocre point guard? Do tell.
It's clear you're not someone who champions for equality and fairness, but rather an advocate for anything advantageous to black people. You don't believe any other people experience significant racism, aside from black people, which is ignorant and narrow-minded. Hard to say you don't like asians specifically, but it's clear you don't like asian bball players. One of them was really good, so it's not about talent either. Funny how you get so upset over something superficial like a meme on a message board, when according to you, words are harmless and non-material anyways. Ironic. Your stance on political and social subjects is much more alarming and is scary that there are people who actually think that way. If you notice, Al Sharpton is one of the biggest racist out there, but is always the quickest to cry racism.
No, it's clear that you're back pedaling after you used a racial slur despite the fact you've repeatedly called people racists for criticizing Jeremy Lin. Rather than simply apologizing, you're trying to change the subject off your racial slur. Pathetic. It's also clear that context is completely lost on you as you're taking a discussion on Affirmative Action, which I support to curb the effects of material racism, as some boneheaded and stupid justification to say I condone racism. I asked you repeatedly to show the effects of material racism in that thread and you couldn't or wouldn't. If you notice, you are the only person in this thread having used an actual racial slur but you're the quickest person in this thread to claim racism. And I ask again... Why are you so sensitive of criticism of a point guard you yourself have called mediocre? What is your interest in this mediocre point guard? Do tell.
how do you know? They study math pretty hard in China, plus you don't need that much knowledge in math to get an econ degree

1) To whom was I using a racial slur? Racial slurs are usually directed at a person or group, right? Not sure if you have the capacity, but please use logic when considering the context of my post/response. 2) Not calling out anyone specifically for racist views (other than you). Maybe I may have called out King1 but I no longer think so; more of a troll than a racist IMO. Other than that- racial jokes in this thread. Fact.
Came here to laugh about Lin **** talking, found everyone talking about racism. Cmon guys, entertainment please
They're developing a comfort level with each other. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Kobe and Lin were barking at each other, Lin maybe not pleased with Kobe arguing a call and not getting back on defense.</p>— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) <a href="https://twitter.com/LakersReporter/status/542547776354013184">December 10, 2014</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Kobe is trying to drag Lin into a tougher mindset - Jeremy is too emo like at this point to have true success he should just play his game, he is good enough, but he backs down too much. DD
