Ok so you agree with what I said. Good to know. You can't see the difference.
Trying to make it twice as long as the Mayweather thread, so Filler can cry more.

Because the original thread title said she was in SNSD.
So... you can imagine what happened.
Well of course some nobody is going to get more of a reaction in the "Some Nobody is Racist" thread. Duh.
If you want to get a reaction against Floyd Mayweather in a thread, go create one.
This. Culinary references are racist? So the giantbombcast is basically the KKK since they constantly yell pizza/pasta comments at Vinny?
Never understood people upset about culinary racist jokes.
Sushi? If fresh it's awesome.
Fried Chicken/corn bread? Awesome!
etc.
Only one that I can think of that is negative is Americans - fast food but that is due to the reality of our obese country that has all sorts of people mixed into the fat pile.
I'm pretty sure her script writer told her to say that. Whatever gets you more fans and all.
As for the topic on hand, it's sad that people feel such strong hatred towards another race in this day and age.
My best friend is Korean and his parents love me. My whole worldview has been shattered.
You're comparing complexion to a woman's thoughts on black women. Besides, I'm sure Taeyeon isn't into women so this isn't about attraction. It's pretty clear that she has a prejudicial bias against the physical looks of black women. So while I agree there's a difference between the person in the OP and Taeyeon, the latter still spouted prejudicial beliefs.

You won't get much of a reaction in a Floyd Mayweather thread since we're used to him saying dumb shit.
So we are going to dissect this down to a single statistic? If you want to do that there is no way we can have a real discussion about this.
Lets be real. A lot of the media fervor is less about points scored and more about his race/background/persona. Why do people have a problem admitting this? The guy is a diamond in the rough.
There is nothing wrong with this at all. He deserves all the shine he gets.
Mayweather is a troll who will say random shit to get people like you mad/talking about boxing since him being a fool is basically the only time Boxing gets any attention outside of the core fanbase.
I'm convinced if Mayweather was white he would throw the n word out there non stop just to get the press.

The original thread title was false advertisement.

But the point is the media called him out of it. He's been called out on everything he says. While people are acting like this girl here is getting more criticism because ONE thread on ONE message board is about her
But the thing is, she didn't get more of a reaction.

I wouldn't say all Koreans, but in general there are a lot of Asians who do look at blacks as being inferior. While the US and other countries have gone through various levels of integration and acceptance there are asian countries that still propagate racist stereotyping or caricatures of black people as humor and don't bat an eye. I used to argue they didn't know better, or that they were familiar with the stereotypes the same way we in America or Europe might be. But ehh...they know and don't give a shit.
There already was one, it didn't get half as many replies.
No need to dissect anything. Half his statement was correct and the other half is false. There are many better PGs at the moment but if he came along and averaged 10 a game it would be a non story. You are diminishing his record breaking accomplishments.
The problem is you hold GAF on some higher plane than that of the media.
Why would it?

Won't be surprise if true. SNSD are making a push in the U.S. Having a song writer like her will cause a backlash.
If Mayweather was white and used the n word, he wouldn't have a career anymore.
Not all of them are racist. Soo Young is a great example of that :3
Will also continue to listen to them.
How am I diminishing his accomplishments?
The media would talk about him no matter what his background is. They talk about him more because he is asian, from harvard, and used to sleep on his brother's couch.
He is a great player. I am not diminishing anything.
You are spinning my comments.
The racist girl wrote one song for them on their first album 5 years ago. There's been 4 albums released since then without any songwriting from her. So it really didn't change anything.
Having Teddy Riley in a half-ass phase is a whole nother problem.

This is bullshit. Boxing has always been about race when they are trying to sale a fight.
Yeah.
"Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because hes Asian. Black players do what he does every night and dont get the same praise."
You said this is one of the least ridiculous comments he has said. 1) All the hype is not because he is asian. It added to a kid lighting it up in NY who would have been getting mad press either way. 2) His 2nd statement is 100% false.
Seems like you have some angst against black people. Who hurt you?
Yes he would not have the same hype level. I don't think thats any surprise at all. We will have to agree to disagree. Tiger Woods would not have the same hype level if he were white. Why is this a hard sell for you?
lol nice edit :>
Why do you hate Asians so much?
Some of my best friends are black!

Notice that the link about Taeyeon that was posted earlier does not have links to sources, audio clips, or translation with her original words at all. The comment that she actually made was mistranslated, mutated, and passed around until it became the ridiculous "translation" that is featured on that page.

Well it is true but I didn't want to bring in how racist Boxing was and how it still lingers to this day. Think about the hype around Yuri Foreman and him being the first Jewish person since Barney Ross. But that is another thread for another time.
Dude, Mayweather said all the hype is because he is asian.

Race has always been somewhat of a big deal in not only sports, but many areas, especially when an underrepresented minority excels. I don't think point that out is necessarily racist, anymore than pointing out that a lot of Tiger Wood's early press was because he was not only good but black/asian. Same with the William's sisters. Same with Obama. This isn't saying they don't have the skills to warrant the attention but denying their race is part of the reason is a bit naive

There are certainly underlining racial tones in SOME of the Lin praise, just as there was with Tim Tebow. White players are often hailed for being smart or intelligent, or as perfect team mates. In both cases we've seen people pop up and argue these players are refreshing because they aren't thugs, are smart, "play the right way" etc etc etc.
But there are also clear, overt racial slurs being thrown at Lin, some of which are even meant to be positive ("Yellow Mamba").
In terms of Mayweather, his racism is well documented. Although I'd snidely point out a black player who went to a big school, was undrafted, rode the bench, then suddenly became a star would certainly be news if he had been adopted by a white family as a kid. There would be a blockbuster Oscar bait film in production too.

Yeah there would most likely be no extravagant or extensive promotion. There would be some baseline media attention.
I like Jeremy Lin. I want to see the knicks go all the way. I'm a fan of underdogs. Don't beat me.
Edit: i had to look up hype because i was not sure if it was a relational term or not. Lack of hype does not mean lack of promotion it just means lack of extensive and extravagant promotion
Nah were cool. Unlike Miami fans that are willing to bend over and take it up the ass just to get Lebron onto their team.
