Was that before or after the booze? Or were you all doing Liza impressions?

That'sss offenssssive, papa!
But ssseriously, unless I'm mistaken, three people on this thread (LizzieCurry, Tiff and Marlene) have stated they are of Asian descent. All three of these people have expressed some form of outrage at what Rosie O'Donnell said. That's enough for me.
I hear Lizzie's a bitch, though, and a lezzie, so who knows if she can really be trusted.

Posted: 12/11/06 at 2:13pmCan you imagine if Don Rickels would try to make a go of his act today? I thought Rosie was hilarious and everyone needs to lighten up.
#106re: rosie's ching chong view of china
Posted: 12/11/06 at 2:19pmPerhaps if SHE would lighten up (ahem, Kelly Ripa), then we wouldn't care so much.

Oh I agree about the Kelly Rippa thing. But one has nothing to do with another. The ching chong ching bit was hilarious and Rosie has used it in het standup shtick before.

What ever you think I did, folks, I was over it when I made my last post. Let's all move on-it's the holiday season and beautiful outside!

you see Rathie.. humor. I didn't mean anything bad by it. It was just humor.
#116re: rosie's ching chong view of china
Posted: 12/11/06 at 2:41pmWhich is fine, because you're not hypocritical about it!

Posted: 12/11/06 at 2:42pmOk. I see your point. It still does not bother me. But I see your point.

By the way, I need to pay more attention to the news, but tons of people are leaping on the Michael Richards things to make jokes.
Andy Dick already got in hot water for a joke gone awry and someone (ermm...a Wayans brother?) is using a similar diatribe in his standup act.

Posted: 12/11/06 at 2:45pmDon Rickels has made a career out of this kind of humor. And by the way.. Michael Richards was not attempting humor.. he was going off on a racist attack. Two different things.
#120re: rosie's ching chong view of china
Posted: 12/11/06 at 3:34pmMichael Richards' thing =/= Rosie's thing. Not at ALL.

But lots of people were drawing the comparison. Merely pointing out that people are already jumping on the Richards thing.
How long before Margaret Cho has her mom talking about Rosie?

Cho is korean and does not speak Chinese.

Posted: 12/11/06 at 3:41pmYeah, but they all look the same.

Heh. That's a good point. Do all Asians have a right to be offended or just the Chinese?

So Marlene, should the unnamed race mentioned in your post be offended as well?
Why not? I never said that I had some sort of agenda to right all racial injustices or that I myself was free from using them. Am I wrong to make presumptions about an individual that chooses to threaten me? I know for a fact that I am to an extent racist on rare occasions (much for a cheap punch line, usually towards friends of mine, reciprocity), and world has given little incentive for me not to resort to such fallacies based on personal experience. I didn’t feel incline to generalize a race, ethnic group, or nation or people, but an individual that could probably have used a little anger management.
I am just personally offended by Rosies comment because it was specific to my race (which unless, I misinterpreted Jane2, is to what I was referring). I feel as if you're just being a cheap journalist taking my post slightly out of context. Frankly, if I were a public figure, I would not be so apt to display such depictions if I did not establish grounds for a satire or if it were specific to my own race. And I was just disappointed mainly given that Rosie made such a comment on the View, on nationally television, widely broadcasted (on an international level perhaps, since that was the point of Rosie's joke?) and the fact that I pretty much liked the woman before hand. I mean I not riled up to start an Anti-Rosie crusade, but the bottom line is I was offended to some extent because she did not own up to what she did, and just basically said to a certain extent "you know, AAJA, you need to go out there and get yourself a sense of humor." "Hello, sorry, AAJA, it was a tasteless joke" would have appeased me. To each his own.
I am actually surprised that a specifically Chinese group did not respond to Rosie's statement, but the AAJA did. But just given the fact that Asians are a minority in the country, (like 5% of the population or so, I may be off) I don't see it as completely off. It's not like the general public can readily differentiate between the specific Asian nationalities that exist--it tends to be a huge conglomeration of "Asian" on most forms, and it's more PC to call someone "Asian" that resorting to one generalized ethnic nationality you want to blanket on the whole Asian population. But I do feel that this perhaps would not have such weight on perhaps Japanese or Korean person since it is not specific to their race.
