| >Personally, I think pointing out how casual racism is tolerated and ignored in certain situations is quite a bit more useful than the other comments on this article. The real ignorance spawned when you compare Asians (multi-racial, genetically diverse, many cultures) with black people (colour of skin). That is racist. You are generalizing a continent of people into one homogenous ethnicity. Of course the author wouldn't group "black people" into a category. Firstly, "black people" are the most genetically diverse group of people on the planet. Africa is also home to again, many, many cultures. I think you attempting to be PC, has clouded your judgement. Look at your upvote/downvote ratio. Do you believe most people are just "ignorant" to your "valid and true" beliefs on political correctness? You said it yourself that this is just casual racism. And to many (including me) it wasn't that at all. If anything, you were the one who brought race and conflict into this discussion. Ask yourself if you're truly right. The story is simple. Apple got sold out of their gold iphones in parts of Asia. You're right, everybody likes gold. They state that in the article. Let's see the articles sources shall we? > gold in Asia is perhaps even more fetishized than in the West. Wow, talk about bias! Perhaps!?!?!? > said Mr. Lian, who works at a local TV station. "Chinese people like gold." What?!?! A Chinese person generalizing their society?!?!? Hold the phone. We got a self hater here says mikeash... Now this is just hurrible... Of course this POS article doesn't have contrary opinions... Oh Wait! > 28-year-old Chris Wong who works in marketing. “I think the metal casing looks much better.” And there you have it. A different opinion. But yes. The article is racist. I'm racist. The people who downvoted you are racist. The whole word is racist. How about you take your white knighting to tumbler social warrior! We'll miss you!!!! |
"Parts"? Apple sold out of gold iPhones everywhere.
"You are generalizing a continent of people into one homogenous ethnicity."
Where the hell did I do that?
"If anything, you were the one who brought race and conflict into this discussion."
Excuse me? Race is in the fricken headline of the article we are commenting on.
