San bro, language is derogatory I agree---but I have seen far worse threads here in Sajha, and yes you have tried your best to regulate them, but we all know by now how close to impossible it is--you can always use alternatives to get your point across (for example, you most likely would know what S**T stands for). I have also seen many threads with ethnocentric remarks as their titles, except they were not trying to be funny, they were just plain mean.


I am still not convinced with your argument (this being a web based forum, anonymity is and should be an option unless targeting a specific individual), but I dont see the point in making this bigger that it is. I was just a fan who tremendously enjoyed this 'creative' funnyman and his voice overs--so a little feedback was necessary. I know you personally, and I know you are a very good/rational person. Look forward to seeing you in San Fran.


To everyone else, racism/stereotyping only becomes serious if you let it be. I grew up in times where best friends gave each other nicknames based on their ethnicity (maade, baje, pakum, jange, tharu to name a few) and that did not diminish our friendship. Neither was it derogatory in our minds.


Maybe times have changed. Maybe my country has indeed gone back in time instead of moving forward in unison without ethnicity being an issue.


 Maybe now someone like me would be considered an alien back home and kicked out for such 'radical' thinking.


my two (and final) cents.
