Who gives a fvck about some gay ass Japanese company? Let them go out of business. I'm not going to lose sleep over Japanese unemployment rates.



I'm not japanese, but I still think it's kinda... not appropriate.
 
How is this racist? Because he pointed out the nationality of the company?

Would it have been 'racist' if he said:

Who gives a fvck about some gay ass British company? Let them go out of business. I'm not going to lose sleep over Britain's unemployment rates.

Of course not. So why the double standard?

well yeah, I just don't find it very appropriate, but maybe it's just me. Racist is a too strong word maybe, just not right.

Who cares? I could insult Anand. It would be "inappropriate" but wouldn't be racist. The thread's comment wasn't racist. There is a lot worse said on AT every day. Quit whining.

I just thought I'd throw in my opinion on what was said. I didn't mean to come across as a whiner. 😕

I can't seem to say anything right on the forums today. 😱

I'm not whining, for me it just sounded really harsh.
