Congrats on black belt! and on being lighter than me again.
Nice squatting and roll of shame.
aight, and the dubs?
I like the saw horses, nice squatting.
I used a slang term for Chinese last night in the pub when discussing their food and soy sauce and Fedorable decided to be a d*** and report the post as racist. An overly sensitive PC non-S&P mod responded to the report.
I definitely will think before I post anything in reference to another culture, whether or not it can be taken in a way I don't mean or uses slang that someone else might see as offensive, because it's not my intent to come across that way. I don't see what I said as racist, but I forgot how sensitive some people are about all that. In person, I'm usually pretty good about being careful what I say, not using terms around people I don't know that well or if I think they'll be offended. I see a difference between using something in a slang manner and it being a slur and racist, but I know some people don't. I just didn't think about it, having seen a couple people use the N word in the pub and nobody get upset over it. That being said, if I reported every post that was offensive to me, I'd be averaging at least one a day that I'm on here. Also, as far as racial slang/slurs/etc, it's hardly an equal playing field. Apparently they're okay if you're talking about anything/one with a European heritage...
