you and your stupid filipino girlfriend needs some geography lessons.It's that you said "Strong is hot for an East Asian girl." That's just like "X is hot for a black girl" or "Y is hot for a gay guy."
Im Asian and take offensive to it, I see why some might be. Not that big of a deal to me, but if it upsets one poster then i would stop i suppose.carey wrote:I'm not trying to be a bigger man. I'm making a point that calling Asians orientals is extraordinarily offensive to them. And it IS idiotic.Phoenix219 wrote:If you're trying to make a point by being the bigger man, lets not call people idiots?carey wrote:Idk if you're trolling but if you keep using racist language like "orientals," which refers to objects not people you idiot, "japs," and what not you won't be able to post here anymore.

Yes, love that show. It's so timely too, since we basically live in a surveillance state as it is. Love the cast too. Sarah Shahi is my dream girl.Phoenix219 wrote:And now, back to the TV.....
Anyone watch Person of Interest?
Its great, its like Batman without a costume, but he's still the "man in the suit." Lol. Love it how Finch and John make up the two sides of Bruce/Bats - the millionaire idealist/detective, and the brooding vengance/fighting skills.carey wrote:Yes, love that show.

Oriental is for rugs, not people.Why is Oriental such a loaded term? Why do Asian-Americans find it offensive?
Well, you know, I think history really does play a huge role in this. And when you think about it, the term Oriental itself kind of feels freighted with luggage. You know, it's a term which you can't think of without having that sort of the smell of incense and the sound of a gong kind of in your head.
And you know, beyond that it's - that's just sort of like the cultural baggage that comes with it. I mean obviously there are political issues. It's something which has been associated with racist campaigns, with stereotypical imagery.

Got it downloaded, haven't watched it yet. Whats it about? What did you like about it?SDC wrote:i just finished six episodes (1-6) of Mixology in 2 days.
The series takes place all over the course of one night at a Manhattan bar called "Mix", where five women and five men meet up for more than just a casual conversation and a drink. Each episode will follow two or three characters as they meet each other for the first time and from there will determine the outcome in the season finale, which will be the end of the night. - from wikipediaPhoenix219 wrote:Got it downloaded, haven't watched it yet.

Was the Iris / Tina joke with Flash and reverse Flash just a random name, or an actual joke based on the blond from STAR Labs named Tina that was in the 90s Flash show? I couldn't tell. Lol.Wally_West wrote:I thought it was hilarious. Gorilla Grodd stole the show.
