You really think something like this off the cuff comment is worth getting pissed at? I'm writing this because I don't think Mandroid is a racist at all.

na, let it be.
it's a big conversation. somebody makes a remark & you add it to your overall impression of them or neglect it & let it slide. & if you feel moved to, you comment back. that's been done sufficiently.
they won't let pitchforks & torches on airplanes these days anyways. a good thing probably.

Would you continue to work with the racist asshole, or would you tell him to fuck off?
2. If the answer is "I would tell him to fuck off," then why are the Forums any different?

I read Clocker Bob's posts all the time and, I'm not throwing a hissyfit.
Message boards are places you may encounter folks who sometimes say things you will disagree with.
Were you unaware of that?
Did you post when she said that?
It's not like you cannot discuss that a post made you uncomfortable on a message board.

I think everyone is racist. Even your mum.
To get upset over this is so silly. Silly being the operative word. When you put it in context, a slight racial slur like that is hardly a reason to give her the high hat. I bet your no better at times.

27Portuguese - those are the ones you gotta watch out for. Oh, and Hawaiians. Hawaiians will give you bugs. You don't know when it happens. You never know when it happens. They just crawl across the table onto your silverware. Then you got bugs, and yer fucked.

28"mexican pieces of shit" is vaguely racist. when i think or say something like "that puerto rican dip shit" i know i am being vaguely racist otherwise there'd be no point to mentioning the person is puerto rican -- i am implying that puerto ricans somehow connect to dip shits whether or not i mean to... and really, i mean to. generally i don't advertise this though and am a little ashamed...
so vaguely racist - yes. totally racist - probably not. lame member of internet forum because of it - of course not. but i get your point, horuss.

Don't forget Phillipinos. They smell funny and talk gibberish.
