Selective reading is a wonderful thing. I'm out of here for good, I don't want to offend anymore Americans with my blatant racism.
A shame, I enjoyed your posts.

Blatant ignorance. You claimed blackface wasn't a thing in Europe and then tried to say you knew more about Europe's racial history than Americans which is laughable. You have been nothing but wrong in this thread and now you're running away... good riddance.Selective reading is a wonderful thing.

Better than putting their fingers on their ears and going LALALALA can't hear you. Everything something racist happens in Europe is always the same thing "is part of our culture" "the States are racist also" "is just an isolated incident" "The States are the one with the slave problems"
Those are no valid excuses, accepting there's a problem is the first step to fixing it.
The imagery of Sinterklaas' soot-covered helpers would look extremely racist in the US. It doesn't over here. I know this is extremely difficult for americans to understand.
You're calling Sinterklaas a racist holiday? You know, the children's holiday where everyone gets toys, presents and lots of candy?
There's not even a tiny, remote association between Sinterklaas and hatred towards any race. Thinking there is, that's fucking hilarious.

isn't there a whole holiday based around black face in Sweden?
EDIT: it was the Netherlands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet

wtf a yall doing in the Netherlands with this shit? unreal.
OT: yeah it's pretty weird he was just allowed into the event like that. some people are just ass clowns.
The history lesson at the end is hilarious. I wouldn't be surprised if this was staged by the shows producers. How interesting is it to watch them enter a galla?
Here's why this is even a thread. You're welcome.
I just want to add that the majority of Italians are still outraged because of these racist lunatics. And rightly so, it's unacceptable. But we aren't a nation of Banana throwers, most of us are pretty cool.
Oh, ok. We are racist.
Why are you guys discussing racism it EU vs NA?
The question at hand is IF blackface should be considered racist in EU when NA has quite clear stand against it.
But to apply one culture standard to another would be like a person from india told us not to eat cows since they are sacred.
But they first have to see it as a problem, which they don't, since it isn't part of their culture/tradition.
I can't believe people have turned this thread has into a who's more racist competition. Just pathetic.
Would you mind to stop these fucking generalizations, they're almost as bad as the comparsions in this thread....Yeah, that is exactly what I said.
That is an absurd comparison. You are comparing racism with food.
White people in Europe/Scandinavia do not think blackface is racist thus it's not racist. Cool.

Well it's either that or how much of a whore Kim Kardashian is because she had sex and if GAF has taught me anything it's that women who have sex are of low moral character. So really this thread was doomed from it's creation. If there's one thing that kills a thread quicker than people being called out on their racism or defending it...it's Kim Kardashian and/or Kanye West.

Aren't you putting words into that gaffer's mouth? He said he didn't like Kim Kardashian but he didn't said it was because she had sex.
Lol. I don't much about these Kardashians, but I do know that the world could do with a lot more women with low moral characters.
She is not even of low moral character, a pseudo famous rapper sex tape got leak online and everyone was like HOLY SHIT WHO IS THAT HOT ASS CHICK!!!, her managers took that opportunity and turned her world famous, along with her sisters. Now the last name Kardashian is known across the globe.
Besides that, she is a normal woman who happens to be really hot, I don't think she even drinks.
It's obviously not, but people all of all cultures all over the world do it all the time. Yet nobody gives a shit unless that group happens to be a "race" (which is garbage in itself because there's only a single human race). Mock "stupid blondes" and nobody bats an eye, even though both black skin and blonde hair are just a few genes. Or mock grumpy, stingy Scotsmen and nobody cares. Sauerkraut loving, lederhosen wearing stereotypical Germans? Fair game, that's somehow funny and totally inoffensive.Exaggerating the features of another group for humor isn't a culture thing.
That was more of an observation of Kim Kardashian threads in general. The 'low moral' part was from a GAF thread about someone wanting to fuck his coworker until he heard rumors she was of 'low moral character' then became hesitant thinking she was only talking to him for sex thread starter never saw the irony.
She married someone to make money from the publicity, and then dumped him almost instantly so she could get a more famous partner. That's pretty low in my opinion, shrewd, but pretty sleazy.
I don't care about the sex tape nonsense.
Of course Dutch people wouldn't find Zwarte Piet racist as it's been a tradition in their country for years.
It's clearly blackface though, the character is based off moors, blackface was a thing before Zwarte Piet existed and there are descriptions of him as a 'frizzy haired negro'.
Hey a father just sold his daughter to a biker gang to be raped. No culpability on the biker gang. I mean, her own dad sold her!
That doesn't mean this thread is about people calling Kim Kardashian a slut because some guy said he didn't like her. That's taking assumptions to a crazy level, when they are more important things happen in this thread.
GAF is disappointing the hell out of me right now.
I don't know what to think about the video really. I don't see him playing any negative stereotypes associated with black people, and I can't tell what has motivated him to use black makeup on his face. The whole thing seems rather contrived, seems rather convenient that with thousands of people attending Kim and her camaras bump into him. In order to label this as being racist (or not) I'd need more infomation.
I just had a look up my chimney and didn't find any red lipstick. Could you please explain that in a way a Brit could understand?
Regardless of why he originally put the black paint on his face, he turned it into a racist thing the moment he said "Hey Kim, its me, Kanye!"
Ya know...Because his face was black...Like a black person. Its cut and dry.
Yup.
This thread is infuriating.
It is.
I said it was doomed from the start because IF we weren't on the current subject of racism, we WOULD be on how much of a whore people think Kim Kardashian is. It's not really an assumption when it happens in every.single.Kim Kardashian thread on GAF without fail.
At this point it's like throwing a ball into the air and saying it's going to fall is an assumption.
It is.
Ah, the speaker quality on my phone is rather poor and I didn't catch what he said. I also had to just now google the connection between Kim and Kanye (I don't really follow celebrities).Regardless of why he originally put the black paint on his face, he turned it into a racist thing the moment he said "Hey Kim, its me, Kanye!"

Says the guy sitting in a rich, racially homogenous, western European country while chastising those who dare bring their tolerance and empathetic reasoning into his perfectly fine culture.

You might hurt yourself riding such a high horse fellow gaffer.
Kim and her mom are at this ball in Vienna. They're having a good time until some guest in blackface calls out to them. After taking one look at him, Kim immediately turns away and questions why such a person was allowed into an upscale event.
what the fuck...
giving a pass to racism because you hate a woman that the media taught you to hate?
Would you mind to stop these fucking generalizations, they're almost as bad as the comparsions in this thread....
