Did you see that cartoon posted in the cartoon thread? I forget who posted it, but it was a propaganda cartoon, complete with a hitler duck.
No, I'd never be able to leave the computer if I wanted to try reading every single thread posted on this site, lol.
hang on and I will go find the link. The thread is not very long.

I am not sure. But like you said...what if American Airlines had a jerry lewis big toothed flat black hair squinty eyed person doing that?
I am also torn that they would do such a thing..especially after all the help we sent them during their situation with the tsunami and their crap washing up on our shores.
On the other hand....I dunno. Not quite sure what to make of it. Except it is tasteless, but not necessarily racist.
Of course it's racist. Why did they use the "white face"? To play on the differences in our cultures for comedic effect - ridiculing white people for their stereotypical appearances and viewpoints.
If that's not racism, such a term does not exist.
...or when Obama forgets he is half white 23h and 59m out of every day.

Stereotyping is not racism. It's stereotyping.

Right, it's only racism when white people do it to black people.
Gotcha.
Because that kind of double standard isn't at all racist.

Nice try, but no cigar. Apples and oranges. It's in the actions, not in the dress-up.
If a (white) vaudeville actor makes up as a black person, that in itself carries no message. If the message in his act is to then convey a message of inferiority, then you have racism.
But that's not what the airline commercial did.

It's exactly what they did. Way to undermine your own argument.
Rocket surgery, indeed.

Sorry Sam, saying so doesn't make it so.
If this is the level of argument you bring here, don't quit the day job.

Saying it ain't doesn't mean it ain't.
You're not worth more than this level of disagreement considering you haven't said anything of value and only post generic negativity.

Oh poster please. Gainsaying is what you just did. That and three bucks will get you a place in line at Starfucks.
I laid out a reasoning in my first post. You're just basically going "is too!". Burden of proof is all yours.

I debunked the shit out of your reasoning. You're the one that started the gainsaying bullshit with apples & oranges when I posted an exact comparison to support my position.
TL;DR> Nuh-uh!

I'm sure you'd like to think that but what you posted was a false comparison, which is why I called apples and oranges.

Unfortunately for you, you're flat out wrong and attempting an easy way out.
I just won't give it to you. Cry moar.
