I’ve heard people before when they thought the conference call was done, say he’s so stupid he can’t even talk right. Lol
I once made the mistake of commenting in a group setting that I knew an adult who couldn't pronounce R's. I got several dirty looks and it turned out that half the people in the group had done speech therapy for similar problems (though in my defense, they all pronounced their R's perfectly when they called me a moron).

Like, somehow that's different than making fun of how someone talks if they're from, say, Korea or even the ghetto?
Ok then.
#1 my post you quoted didnt say ANYTHING was ok. quit making things up.
#2 maybe you dont understand what a race of people actually is...
#3 making fun of anyone is demeaning. it is ALSO acting like you are superior. if someone is making fun of someone because of what area they are from it wouldnt be racism because it doesnt have to do with what RACE they are. making fun of or demeaning someone due to something that has to do with what race they are IS racism.

not sure how thats hard to understand.
It's not hard for ME to understand. Maybe YOU don't understand that making fun of someone's dialect, while rude and demeaning, isn't actually racism. By definition.

You see what I'm getting at?
making fun of someone for their dialect that caused by their race or the language their race speaks IS acting as though you are superior. the definition of racism. [Reply]

again making fun of someone is acting as though you are superior, when it's predicated on their race that makes it racism.
who gives a fuck if johnson was racist?
tell you what, the next time your black friends take you to dinner call them the n word and end it with ER... make sure you record it and post up the results on here. Or go out and find some asian guys and see if they like you making fun of their speech. Record that too. post it up, cool guy. lets see how it works out for you.
until then why not just shut the fuck up and quit defending racism, it's only making you look bad. [Reply]

it's not funny, it is demeaning.
I mean you might not find it funny, but if that’s the intent it’s still a joke.
I’m not saying dude isn’t racist. Just saying that’s not necessarily an example of it.
I don’t think there should ever be rules to comedy. I will always fight for somebody’s right to tell a joke without being labeled because of it. [Reply]
