"Reprimandable"? What the hell does that mean? I've prosecuted and defended dozens of criminal trials, but I've never heard of a "reprimandable" offense.

If your sole basis for calling Thomas Jefferson a rapist is his relationship with Sally Hemmings, you really should be ashamed of yourself. That's disgraceful, speculative innuendo on your part, and it's particularly awful considering that you're attacking one of the greatest men in our country's history.

Ultimately I think this is a stupid debate considering the lighthearted nature of this thread, so I will bow out of it.

FWIW, I love the Stern show and thought this call was hilarious. I am no racist - actually the most gorgeous girl I've ever dated was Indian, and my current GF is Chinese - but IMO our country is truly a sad place if a meaningful number of Americans are so humorless that they find this call offensive and think it should be censored.
"Greatest men in our countrys history" - LOL if you think a slaveowner is one of the greatest men in our countrys history I feel very badly for you and the extent of your denial. I reserve that for people like Malcolm X, RFK, or MLK.

But I guess to you people, "a lighthearted thread" can be horrendously offensive and its fine.

Its pretty strange that a good amount of the people who enjoy and participate in these types of threads come from places with very little minority population - namely the midwest. Wierd coincidence.

Actually, what I would enjoy is more threads like this with Vito handing you your ass.

I'm comfortable enough in diversity to find humour in our differences.

So what race was the guy they called anyhow - so I can know who I was being racist against? Can you tell me that?

Just the fact that I need to tell what race he was being racist against illustrates your stupidity beautifully.

Turban - Indian/beloved patriot/Persian/Arab accent. What more do you need me to tell you? I'm glad you find humor in people racially harassing other people at their place of employment. In my book thats what assholes do.

Huh. RFK was a greater man than George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or either Adams, because they owned slaves, eh? I take it by that token you'd agree that notable political figures like Charles Thompson, Slobodan Milosovich, Idi Amin, and Richard Nixon are/were also superior to the Founding Fathers? After all, they didn't own slaves either.

Nice snipe at the Midwest, though it might interest you to know I have also lived in any number of places that would better scratch your mouse-and-keyboard revolutionary itch, like New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and the Middle East (where most of the locals I knew would have laughed their asses off at this prank phone call).

It must be taxing being so highly sensitive to the plight of others - if this call is "horrendously offensive," the whole world must seem like one big cultural minefield, full of ruffians out to wound your delicate sensibilies . . .

Are you implying Indians and Pakistanis are interchangeable? Or that Persians and Arabs are interchangeable? That really is racist. There are places in the world you could literally be killed for even implying that.

To most Americans they are. And Turbans are worn in all of those countries.

Indians and Pakistanis are interchangeable. If you know some history other than that of your slaveowner heroes you would know that North Indians and Pakistanis speak the same language - Urdu. Eat the same food, dress the same etc. The only difference is religion. Which is what the British partitioned India on.

I'm crushed your opinion of me has been reduced. I'll barely be able to sleep tonight.

So now I've got it - as long as you only stereotype by your accepted classifcations, then that's OK right? So midwesterners, texans, whites, asians, cops, etc. - all are OK to broadly classify and malign - but any characteristics beyond that and it's racist right? (whether or not they are a race)

Anyways most cops in suburbia are douchebags

Why don't all you white and asian nerds with small penises just die?

Oh wait... you're from the Midwest. My bad.

So kindly get out my face, redneck and go back to shooting animals with sniper rifles or whatever you people do in Texas.


Interesting book you've got there.

Neither Persians nor Arabs wear turbans. Arabs wear kaffiyehs. Are you thinking of Sikhs (who actually do wear turbans)?

Have you ever actually been to any of the places you're talking about? I have. Indians and Pakistanis have completely distinct cultures, and a mutual hatred with an extensive history.

It's ironic you'd point to Urdu, since the chicken-store employee in this call is in fact speaking Hindi, the national language of India, and the language most commonly spoken in that nation (and not used at all in Pakistan). Hindi is spoken by 4 times as many Indians as Urdu.

But wait, I shouldn't know about these things, since I'm an ignorant, slave-owner-worshipping Midwesterner, right?

Um in North India - as in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh - Urdu is spoken. Urdu is 85% Hindi. Only in Bihar do they speak pure Hindi. In all provinces of Pakistan Urdu is spoken. It is the national language.

I think you should go back to pre-partition Punjab, Sindh or NWFP and tell them that they have some sort of ancient hatred according to Don Vito.

Iranians and Iraqis both wear turbans.

Iraqis sometimes wear kaffiyehs but many wear turbans as well.

Any more ownage needed?

Urdu is a recognized national language of India. Along with 21 other recognized National Languages. Most people actually speak a mixture of Hindu-Urduu, referred to by some as Hindustani. The offical language of India is Hindi. Hindi is an uncommon language to use in Pakistan, with the official language being Urdu.

Since the times of Imperialism, a very strong hatred has grown between Pakistan and India. Where did he say it was ancient? If you do not think there are strong tensions between the two countries currently, and that using the terms interchangably is acceptable, you need to go back to the books. In some cases, attempting to use those terms interchangably is a very serious insult.

DonVito was incorrect on the turban stance, because depending on the region, Arabs may or may not wear what is classified as only a "turban". It's not as simple as lumping them all together.

You were talking about ownage? I fail to see any.

There was no India and "Pakistan" before 1946. It was only India. There are strong hatreds now but that is because so many died in partition. I should know my uncle, a Hindu, lived in Peshawar now in Pakistan, after 1946 his family moved to India.

Even then their hatred is like that of the English and the French back in the day. Different Countries but you can still group them as Europeans.

As for the Urdu issue any North Indian would tell you that Urdu is spoken in almost all of North India and all of Pakistan.

You guys are making yourself look very dumb. I have traveled a lot over this area and have extensive knowledge.

The partition is the main source of conflict, but the British didn't make anything easier before that, and because of Imperialism led to the current day hatred.

Even then their hatred is like that of the English and the French back in the day. Different Countries but you can still group them as Europeans.

There is a huge difference between grouping two different nationalities under a continental name, and using nationalities from two different countries interchangably, especially with the tension between the two countries now.

As for the Urdu issue any North Indian would tell you that Urdu is spoken in almost all of North India and all of Pakistan.

Did I not say that the national and primary language of Pakistan is Urdu? And just because it is spoken in Northern India, does not make it the official nor most popular language of India. That's like saying because of California and Florida, Spanish is the most spoken and official language of the US.

You guys are making yourself look very dumb. I have traveled a lot over this area and have extensive knowledge.

The only person that is looking dumb is yourself, because you fail to read what is actually written.

*sigh* why don't you go back and read what I originally wrote. To the average American all those groups are very similiar. Just the same the average Chinaman won't be able to tell the difference between French and English. They are simply "white". The original joke is directed to that ME/South Asian turban wearing group.

North Indian Hindi is for all intents and purposes Urdu. The Mughal courts, from which Urdu originally came for, were in fact all located in present day India. Ands it not like saying Cali and Fla make Spanish the most spoken language. Its like saying over 1/3 of America, the 1/3 with the most population, and the 1/3 that includes the capital, speaks Spanish. Lets not forget that Spanish isn't even the most spoken language in those two states - yet.

The tension between India and Pakistan is at its biggest low ever.

I'm tired. But I can continue making you look like retards tomorrow.

The only person that is looking dumb is yourself, because you fail to read what is actually written.
*sigh* why don't you go back and read what I originally wrote. To the average American all those groups are very similiar. Just the same the average Chinaman won't be able to tell the difference between French and English. They are simply "white". The original joke is directed to that ME/South Asian turban wearing group.

North Indian Hindi is for all intents and purposes Urdu. The Mughal courts, from which Urdu originally came for, were in fact all located in present day India. Ands it not like saying Cali and Fla make Spanish the most spoken language. Its like saying over 1/3 of America, the 1/3 with the most population, and the 1/3 that includes the capital, speaks Spanish. Lets not forget that Spanish isn't even the most spoken language in those two states - yet.

The tension between India and Pakistan is at its biggest low ever.

I'm tired. But I can continue making you look like retards tomorrow.

I haven't seen you make anyone look like a retard yet. Well, except for yourself.

The partition is the main source of conflict, but the British didn't make anything easier before that, and because of Imperialism led to the current day hatred.

Even then their hatred is like that of the English and the French back in the day. Different Countries but you can still group them as Europeans.

There is a huge difference between grouping two different nationalities under a continental name, and using nationalities from two different countries interchangably, especially with the tension between the two countries now.

As for the Urdu issue any North Indian would tell you that Urdu is spoken in almost all of North India and all of Pakistan.

Did I not say that the national and primary language of Pakistan is Urdu? And just because it is spoken in Northern India, does not make it the official nor most popular language of India. That's like saying because of California and Florida, Spanish is the most spoken and official language of the US.

Jesus - you've gotta be friggin' kidding me. If you seriously want the FCC to punish/censor free speech for something as benign as this call, I imagine Thomas Jefferson would be happy to rise from his grave and kick you in the nuts. Does anyone still have a sense of humor in this country?
The FCC is already regulating what's decent and what isn't in case you hadn't noticed, so don't give me this first ammendment crap. I don't agree with the way the FCC regulates what goes over the air, but if it's going to be part of their mandate they should do it properly. A fine is the least the guy deserves. Otherwise, please tell me DonVito, where should we draw the line if this is acceptable? Should he be allowed to call someone Jewish and make fun of their religion as well? I mean it's all the same, right?

Call me humourless if you want, but calling someone (on the air, no less) with the express intent of making fun of their culture and religion is not acceptable. Harassing them by doing it several times is even worse. The first ammendment has nothing to do with that call being in bad taste.

Have you even listened to the show? Stern is Jewish and he makes fun of the religion, among others, on a regular basis.
