Yushin was only miss translated, he doesn't mean to offened.
Dana is clearly making a straight insensitive remarks on Choi.

You know there are arguments on both sides of this in the modern era that could be considered valid. There are different types of suppression and injustice. I feel like there's about to be a social debate on an MMA forum. lol. I'm out.

Oh come on... First off I'm not white. I still find this arguement seriously out dated. Especially since the current front runner in our presidential race is a black man. All comments like that are is reverse racism. Be part of the solution bro, not the the problem.

Make up your damn mind... and how is that reverse racisim? I never said white people are bad or anthing about white people at all... If you read what wrote I was making a generalized comment on people who bitch about PC... as with any generalization there are exceptions, but generally it's true.

What i am about to post is in regards to what he just said, I did not type this, this post does not represent my feelings. Quote:
How many are actually paying attention to this?
There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans.
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You Call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," Whitey," "Caveman". And that's OK. But when I call you, ******, Kike, Towel head, Sand-******, camel Jockey, Beaner, Wop, Gook, or Chink . You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund,You have Martin Luther King Day. You have Black History Month,you have Cesar Chavez Day, you have Yom Hashoah. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi, you have the NAACP.
You have BET.
If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists.
If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to "advance", OUR lives we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.
Wonder who pays for that?
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships ... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US , yet if there were "White colleges" ..THAT would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride ... you call us racists.
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist. | just so people don't think i wrote this shit here are some of the sites it popped up on
ww.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/proudwhite.asp
ww.geocities.com/brainxp/proudtobewhite.html
ww.truthtree.com/Politics/posts/345230.html
Also i would actually like to hear some peoples opinions, to be honest i grew up in a really racist place, but its hard to be racist when my brother, yes my actual brother is half black.
I don't know much about politics, or anything like that, i don't really pretend to know about them. Thats why i wonder about whats said in here, would it really be racist, or just a rant from someone.

I like how everyone who was bitching about having to be politically correct is now bitching about how it is to be discriminated against for being a white male... classic... so you only care about being PC when it concerns being a white male?

The point is that the people that were "Butt Hurt" were mad because they thought Okami had basically said that Americans tap easily. You say that comment is the same thing as making fun of somones name.
No, its not
I have a last name that people liked to mess with when I was in school....none of it was racist, maybe insensitive, but so what?
If anyone is such a fucking pansy that they let someone...especially someone they dont know, hurt their pathetic little felings by making fun of their name, they deserve to be miserable. And you will be miserable if you go through life getting all worked up over something as petty as that.
My whole point is that there is no comparison between questioning the heart of a nation and making fun of someones name.
I do agree that people should not have been upset with Okami even if he had said what they thought he did. Who the hell is he, lets ask Anderson Silva what he thinks about Okami's heart.
