Nicknames... The reason behind them?

[renano]

He might be in a rush as he wrote that...

 

[Ghost Kitty~]

Is there anything negative about using you people? :/

 

[Decalcomania]

It's usually said by someone racist. Like a Caucasian man saying 'You people' towards a group of African-American men. Get it?

 

[SainTPrimE]

Are you guys talking about Racial things?

 

[Decalcomania]

If you assume we are, then you must be correct because I have no clue.

 

[SainTPrimE]

I see.... Wait.. How you talk about things while you don't know what are you talking about?

 

[Uninstall]

I love how everyone is so butthurt about it ヽ(´∀｀)ﾉ

 

[Decalcomania]

I laughed.

 

[Uninstall]

Hahaha me too, everyone is so butthurt about it, but if you do a little cultural research you will find out that I want to bet you this video wasn't meant to offend anyone, in fact "black culture" is considered really cool in Japan, especially in around the 80s and 90s.

Interesting study on identity, relationship with "black culture" and the dark past of it, with the dark past of Japan, ultimately leading to the Japanese interpretation of the "N" word; the fact that the Japanese consider that the word has similar weight with the term "Jap", especially in Hip-Hop culture, and political influences of history in Hip-Hop

It looks like a dream I once had...

/me continues to casually watch~

 

[Shir0]

it all depends how its understood~

it can simpy address a group of people (you people/ you lot)

but in some situations it can of course be understood as mentioned above~



oh, that discussion already ended. forget this then~

 

[SainTPrimE]

Yeah.. I guess black culture was popular in Japan that time...

 

[renano]

oh, that discussion already ended. forget this then~

/me is amused by dear Shiki's last sentence Dearest~

 

[Shir0]

[renano]

Little things amuse me.

I do enjoy the 'little things in life'.

[Decalcomania]

[Ghost Kitty~]

Hmm well if it isnt particularly mentions as ill intentioned then should anyone really take offence? :/

 

[Shir0]

[AhGwee]

They're all asian...

But it's because they say Chris Rock did the same thing hence why they didn't find it funny.
