How do you find this joke: A russian, an american and a german were captured by cannibals. The cannibal's chief gave 2 metal balls for everyone and said "I'll give freedom for anyone who'll make me laugh in 2 weeks and eat anyone who won't" Then he put them into prison cells. In 2 weeks he opens the 1st cell and sees how the american is juggle with metal balls. He doesn't laugh and they kill and eat the american. Then chief open the next cell, the german starts showing the hocus-pocus... The chief doesn't laugh and the cannibals kill and eat the german. Then the chief open the last cell goes into the cell and the cannibals hear the chief's laugh. "What does he show to you, chief?" - "Nothing" "But why are you laughing?"- "Because he's broken one of the metal ball... and he's lost another one".Quote:

How do they come back?
...an englishman - with dignity
...a french - with the host's wife
...a russian - with the black eye
...a jew - with the cake.
What do they think:
...an englishman - have i been dignified or not?
...a french - it's interesting, who picked up my wife?
...a russian - i also kicked his ass!
...a jew - whomever can I visit now?
Do you find it offensive?
Maybe they won't understand it and maybe I wouldn't find people of that color there :)Quote:

It mocks a 'typical' Russian trait to lose things (even as important as these balls which may cost you a life) and don't care about that :)
It can be funny watching the total breakdown of understanding that can occur when Americans use the word "caucasion" to describe white people, while talking to Russians.
It's also amusing that the absurd "caucasion" is seen as an acceptable way to describe a white person, while "negro" is unnaceptable for black people.
One from Blighty:
A person from Afghanistan can be an Afgan.
A person from Tajikistan can be a Tajik.
A person from Uzbekistan can be an Uzbek.
But a person from Pakistan is... no, no, no... a Pakistani.
Logically, a Pakistani should come from a country called Pakistanistan. :)
I've just read this thread and it goes back and forth
Russians/Americans are racist. Russians/Americans are not racist.
Some people are some people aren't.
I don't see the point in trying to generalize a population with statistics.
It wont tell you anything about anyone. The more you average/generalize the more you distort reality blah blah blah.
I also think crime has less to do with race and more to do with being poor.
Conclusion y'all: russkies is racists, an' merkins ain't :lol:
Immigration. Racism. Whites have killed themselves off with civil wars, world wars, purges, abortion and birth control. But their economic engine, capitalism, requires labor and growth. That's why their countries are being overrun by browns, blacks and yellows. It's not that the western nations are morally superior and are building multi-ethnic nations from the goodness of their hearts. Will Russia follow? Time will tell. You have to take a step back and look at the bigger picture before calling a people racist.

Also I don't think that "Negro" is thought to be offensive by anyone who is even remotely educated. It just sounds old fashioned. I use it because i can never remember the latest name Black people in America want to be called by. :D
One of my oldest friends is a black man and he often jokingly refers to himself as "a Negro man".

I dunno. My best mates can and do call me names that would earn a stranger a smack in the teeth if they said it to my face. Is that any different?Quote:

Yes, I got that. I was just pointing out, evidently too obliquely for you, that the rules of etiquette and social interaction are inevitably different between members of the same social group than between members of different social groups.
I have placed this in Putin topic: somehow, it came down to this over there:
"I'll tell you more: I hate those blacks who rob and kill innocent people; who pimp white girls, and cut them to pieces when they disobey their orders; all those gangs; drive-by shootings; their stupid rap; and just simply dumb look on their ugly faces! Here..."
I, of course, agree, like usual, with Scotcher, who is usually the most sane person among us, being the insane. I like commas too. My buddies call me names like homo (although I am straight), Swede (being Norwegian, that is an insult :D ), Norwegian bastard, etc. These kind of things I accept from my friends, but from strangers or people I don't know too well, it would go very bad.
Yes, but here is the truth! The word "n!gger" was not even considered offensive until some "activist" types decided that "whitey" couldn't use it anymore, a few decades ago, in America that is. In Australia it was a perfectly acceptable word until after I arrived in the USA.
Now, it has changed in Australia too.
On my trip back to Australia last year, I found that they had changed the name of my favourite brand of Licorice sticks to something more current and politically correct. :D
Yes, but the word n!gger was used in America as a very mean slur. It wasn't said in the form of the following conversation:
- Good day, how do you, my good n!gger?
- Fine thanks, Mr. Wicklepick
- Well, I better be off. See you later, my friend! Say hello to your good n!gger friend, Mr. Brown!
But rather like:
- These dirty n!ggers are everywhere
- I tell ya, I don't want no n!gger near my family. I'd kill the n!gger right then and there
It's Americans' own fault that the word became taboo, because they overused it as a mean racial slur. The word itself is fine, but it has too much negative connections with it these days.
They are evil! :lol:Quote:

Hey, JDKman! Since you are back, why don't you tell this racist how your teaching gig went in Russia? It doesn't look like this topic is going anywhere further.

To the original poster:
Man, what the hell are you talking about? Imagine a situation, like you're inviting some friends to your house, they come and there's a stranger behind their backs. You didn't invite him, you don't want him to be at your place, but he stays, smokes your zigarettes, drinks your vodka, beats up your tamed bear, puts on your ear-flapped hat. What'd you do? I bet you would deliver him a beautiful kick and force him out. Wouldn't you? Or would you knee before him asking if he wants your wife/gf, offer him your bed, your fridge and your tree JUST because he's an unwanted guest? Ridiculous.
So if you're not seeking troubles, keep away from where you're UNWELCOMED. Noone forces you to come, noone forces you to stay. If you want to -- the borders are open, but don't expect anything positive about YOU and YOUR staying. And unless you cause troubles, noone's going to butcher you, except for some "gopnicks" who don't make any distinction between natives and foreigners.
In advance... I treat blacks and arabs very WELL unless they bother me like someone with your attitude, yapping about their f@cked up rights and lousy privilegies.
Мы уважаем все демократические ценности и страна наша являет собой образец политкорректности. И нам непонятна истерия развязанная недружественными нам государствами.

Ok so, as I made my subject: Story Time: here it is...
I live in the USA, and I went to Mobil Alabama, to help out a family down there. Well this family lived in a one room shack in the ghetto, and I was sure that the roof would cave in at any given point of time. Well this family had 7 children, a widdowed aunt and her 4 children, and the grand parents, all living in one room, with an out house for the bathroom. They had to go to a local shower once a week to bathe. Well I went to church one day with the family (I am not religious, but I went anyway), and the family forgot the family bible, which was very important to them. Well the youngest daughter who was 5 and I went to walk back to the home to get it. On the way there, a little black car drove by. Mimi (the child) told me that it would be best if we walked faster, she didnt want any trouble. Well me being 14 at the time was niieve and had no idea what she could be talking about and I said we would be fine. Lo and Behold the car turned around, and as soon as they reached us I was shot at. I jumped into the ditch and grabbed Mimi to cover her up. The man walked out of the car, and told me to get up. I did as he told me, for he had a gun, I would not dare to disobey. I put the gun and I will never remember what he told me: "You better get your f***ing white a** out of here before I shoot you." Calmly I grabbed Mimi, and walked back to her home, which was two houses down the road. We stayed there until her mother came home from chuch. Needless to say, there is alot of Racism in the states still.
