no that's ireland. i mean the one with the red people (all the other colors were already taken). not the hair, the skin. it's easy to confuse them, i know. but you want to avoid irish people to get angry at all costs, so please keep that in mind. red hair is ireland, red people that second rate continent. |

y'know people say shit like that on American talk radio every day. maybe not necessarily as overtly offensive, but perhaps no less dangerous for precisely that reason... ie: it can be really painfully obvious that some mouthpiece is a bigot, but it's not till he/she slips up and makes some frivolous slip into no-no word land (which is pretty fucking arbitrary, might i add) before anyone feels they can do anything. while i would freely admit that i probably shouldn't know more about it than someone living in America, i've experienced enough, firsthand and secondhand, to feel like it's a big mistake to be dismissive of this sort of stuff as the harmless babblings of some isolated idiot whom we're just supposed to ignore. that doesn't necessarily make the methods of someone like Al Sharpton right. I agree that if you take Imus' apology to be sincere, then in the long term interest of making things better, you would think it would be worth honouring/accepting that gesture. The point is that dialogue is important, and at some point, people are going to have to step from behind their megaphones and radio booths and actually have a real conversation with one another. |
