Why can't it just read "Girl"?

Why is it such a big deal?! Maybe it has something to do with the stupidity of the comment.

Hmmmm... Maybe cause she's Indian. You don't hear Sorostitutes complaining about just being called girl. My god get over it.

none of the other comments are descriptive on the race. why is this?

they were in the physics building, one could just assume they were indian.

Yea, I agree. Racial labels are totally unnecessary. How does "Indian" have "something to do with the stupidity of the comment"?

If "Indian" was relevant to the comment, then yes, put it. However, I don't understand its relevance in this context. And personally, I am sickened and appalled. I thought we were making some serious social progress in this country, but now, it looks like we're back on the way to Jim Crow laws.

While I also agree that the racial labels were totally unnecessary, I think assuming this somehow means we're on the verge of instilling laws that won't allow minorities to vote might be a slight overreaction.

Uh, dude? Jim Crow laws did a bit more than disenfranchise minorities; they balkanized an entire nation, with segregated bathrooms, diners, hotels, etc. Their purpose was to reinforce the idea that "white is right" and denigrate the non-white individual.

However, I concur - I don't think one idjit's use of unnecessary adjectives will lead to manumission. Then again, they (our gentle overlords who choose the comments may they reign forever) may have edited out part of the conversation. Or maybe this was a cheap shot at curry. We will never know.

I agree with this 100%.

indians are stupid, and they should probably have separate schools and water fountains.

Powhatan said...
Yeah. We did, until you white devils came over and invaded us with your smallpox, fighting, and other assorted evils.

America for Americans! Bring back the Haudenosaunee (Akunęhsyę̀niˀ)!!

I think the labels were referring to Indians from India, not Native Americans.

Shameful, OIA, shameful.

OIA said...
the race of the girls in the quote was not meant to be significant to the content of the quote in any way.

grow the fuck up, people. seriously.

06/16/2008, 3:25 PM

2OIA said...
If race wasn't significant, OIA should have left it out in the first place. OIA chose to remove the label, which is good and shows they realized the error.
You grow up. So there.

RP said...
The thing is OIA used to mention the race of the people speaking a lot more than they do now. I don't know if it's because people stopped telling them that much info or what but there's no reason to assume that mentioning it now is somehow racist.

Anyone else sense a class-action from ICE just around the corner?

seriously said...
If this comment was labeled 'white girl' or 'sororstitute' or 'ghetto girl' 'white trash' etc. and had them saying something stupid no one would complain... how hypocritical.

no comment said...
Apparently you can use "descriptive" labels if it's relevant to the context.

06/19/2008, 4:00 PM

Brookelyn said...
Exactley! They just want something to complain about.

just saying... we're in the south. if you don't like it, leave.

Yeah - don't pollute our gene pool with your "non-kinfolk" blood. We've got a family stick to uphold...
